Now in its second completely revised and expanded edition. Written by the renowned
editors B. Cornils and WA Herrmann, this book presents every important aspect of aqueous …

Water is truly ubiquitous. Approximately 80% of the earth's surface is covered by water,
although only 1% of this is drinkable water. Water is the solvent of life and makes up about …

The chemical transformation of carbon dioxide into useful products becomes increasingly
important as CO2 levels in the atmosphere continue to rise as a consequence of human …

The synthesis of a large number of fine chemicals, particularly in the field of flavor and
fragrance chemistry [1, 2] and pharmaceuticals [3], involves the selective hydrogenation of …

The cage-like water-soluble monodentate phosphine 1, 3, 5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane
(PTA) has received renewed interest in the recent literature due to its properties to solubilize …

Aryl-and alkyl-substituted tertiary phosphines are among the most common ligands used in
homogeneous catalysts, but they are hydrophobic, as in general are the products of the …

Asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of ketones by formate in neat water is shown to be
viable with Rh‐TsDPEN and Ir‐TsDPEN catalysts, derived in situ from [Cp* MCl2] 2 (M= Rh …

Interaction of poly (2-vinylpyridine)− poly (ethylene oxide)(P2VP-b-PEO) diblock copolymers
with noble metal compounds in aqueous media and metal nanoparticle formation in such …

This paper reports a pH-dependent hydrogenation of water-soluble carbonyl compounds by
hydrogen transfer from HCOONa as a hydrogen source (transfer hydrogenation) promoted …

A chiral self-assembled supramolecular M4L6 assembly has been shown to be a suitable
host for a series of reactive monocationic half-sandwich iridium guests 1, 3, and 4 that are …
