From the reviews:“This book presents a comprehensive review of recent developments in the ‘heterogenisation’ of metal complex catalysts … in fine chemicals. … an excellent resource for postgraduate and doctoral students as well as researchers working in the areas of metal complex catalysis, asymmetric catalysis and catalytic process development. … the book reads well and covers a subject of interest to both academic and industrial researchers. It should inspire many young researchers to develop novel catalytic materials and make progress towards more sustainable and green chemical processes.” (Raghunath V. Chaudhari, Platinum Metals Review, Vol. 55 (3), 2011)
