Noncovalent Interactions in Catalysis, Hardcover

Noncovalent interactions (such as hydrogen bonds, π-π stacking and lipophilic interactions) often provide the spine of biomolecular and material structures, and can therefore play a key role in biological and catalytic processes. This book provides an overview of the role of different types of noncovalent interactions in both homogenous and heterogeneous catalysis. With chapters contributed by experts from around the world it is a valuable resource for synthetic chemists who are interested in exploring and further developing noncovalent-interaction-assisted synthesis and catalysis.
