Molecular Catalysis of Rare-Earth Elements

• Catalytic ?-Bond Metathesis.- Polymerization of 1,3-Conjugated Dienes with Rare-Earth Metal Precursors.- Homogeneous Catalysis Using Lanthanide Amidinates and Guanidinates.- Rare-Earth Metal Postmetallocene Catalysts with Chelating Amido Ligands.

From the reviews:“Provides a strong introduction to rare-earth-containing catalysts … . text is written at a level appropriate for readers already having a background in catalysis … . Additionally, this book could serve to update readers who have been away from the field … . book is a good introduction to the field of rare-earth-based catalysis that integrates old and new science. … I recommend it for readers who are familiar with catalysis and would like to learn more about the use of rare-earth metals in it.” (Matthew J. Allen, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 133, April, 2011)
