Selective Hydrocarbon Activation: Principles and Progress

A review of the principles, current research and ideas related to taking naturally occurring petroleum by-products and making them into useful products. This book aims to introduce nonspecialists to the field and provide them with current knowledge contributed by experts in inorganic, organic, catalysis chemistries and biochemistry. The focus is on homogeneous metal-based chemistry with an emphasis on mechanism and energetics. Selective Hydrocarbon Activation is a blend of theory and experiment and is of interest to both academics and those in industry.Davies, Julian A. is the author of 'Selective Hydrocarbon Activation: Principles and Progress', published 1990 under ISBN 9780895737137 and ISBN 0895737132.
