Handbook of Green Chemistry / Handbook of Green Chemistry - Green Catalysis

Nicht nur in den westlichen Industrieländern ist Umweltschutz heute ein selbstverständlicher Bestandteil der gesellschaftlichen Existenz. Über die Entwicklung der Grünen Chemie und Technik im Laufe des zurückliegenden Jahrzehnts informiert das neue 9-bändige "Handbook of Green Chemistry" (herausgegeben von Paul Anastas, dem Vater der Grünen Chemie), zu dem die drei vorliegenden Bände über Grüne Katalyse gehören. Ausführlich wie nie zuvor behandeln sie alle Aspekte der umweltverträglichen und nachhaltigen homogenen, heterogenen und Biokatalyse.

Series Editor Paul T. Anastas joined Yale University as Professor and serves as the Director of the Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering at Yale. From 2004-2006, Paul Anastas has been the Director of the Green Chemistry Institute in Washington, D.C. Until June of 2004 he served as Assistant Director for Environment at e White House Office of Science and Technology Policy where his responsibilities included a wide range of environmental science issues including furthering international public-private cooperation in areas of Science for Sustainability such as Green Chemistry. In 1991, he established the industry-government-university partnership Green Chemistry Program, which was expanded to include basic research, and the Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Awards. He has published and edited several books in the field of Green Chemistry and is one of the inventors of the 12 principles of Green Chemistry. Volume Editor Bob Crabtree took his first degree at Oxford, did his Ph.D. at Sussex and spent four years in Paris at the CNRS. He has been at Yale since 1977. He has chaired the Inorganic Division at ACS, and won the ACS and RSC organometallic chemistry prizes. He is the author of an organometallic textbook, and editor-in-chief of the Encyclopedia of Inorganic Chemistry and Comprehensive Organometallic Chemistry. He has contributed to C-H activation, H2 complexes, dihydrogen bonding, and his homogeneous tritiation and hydrogenation catalyst is in wide use. More recently, he has combined molecular recognition with CH hydroxylation to obtain high selectivity with a biomimetic strategy.

Green Chemistry is a vitally important subject area in a world where being as green and environmentally sound as possible is no longer a luxury but a necessity. Its applications include the design of chemical products and processes that help to reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances. The Handbook of Green Chemistry comprises 9 volumes, split into subject-specific sets as follows: Set I: Green Catalysis - Volume 1: Homogeneous Catalysis - Volume 2: Heterogeneous Catalysis - Volume 3: Biocatalysis Set II: Green Solvents Set III: Green Processes
