Perspectives in Catalysis

By Kirill Ilʹich Zamaraev

Catalysis is considered worldwide as one of the top research frontiers of chemistry. It is the backbone of the chemical industry and hence the key to the production of fabrics, foodstuffs, fuels and pharmaceuticals. It is also a fundamental feature of all life processes. The last three decades have witnessed, in the scientific study of catalysis, a progressive shift from phenomenological approaches to structured and mechanistic investigations at the molecular level, using new sophisticated and very powerful instrumentation, quantum chemical calculations and other computational methods. Given the profound effect that these recent research advances will have upon our industries in the 21st century, it is perfectly proper that one of the first books in this series should be dedicated to catalysis
