Sustainable Organic Synthesis: Tools and Strategies has now been published in , with the printed book due shortly.
This exhaustive handbook on Organic Green Chemistry provides a range of synthetic approaches that can be adopted on the way to sustainability.
Giovanna Bosica, Professor at the Department of Chemistry at UM, has contributed to this handbook, which has been published by the Royal Society of Chemistry, with a chapter entitled "Heterogeneous Catalysis".
"In recent years, the field of heterogeneous catalysis has undergone an explosive growth. In the drive towards cleaner technologies, heterogeneous catalysts are precious tools for implementing green chemistry, said Professor Bosica.
"The aim of this chapter is to provide an introduction to heterogeneous catalysis, with a brief overview of its historical development and its basic concepts, highlighting the green benefits of heterogeneous catalysis when applied to organic synthesis. Recent examples of applications of different kinds of heterogeneous catalysts are also described", she stated.
