Late transition metal polymerization catalysis

The use of complex compounds in late transition metals has not only revolutionized synthesis in the laboratory, but has also led to them playing an important role as catalysts in the industrial production of new plastics. Here, the world's leading authors from research and industry discuss the latest developments in research into palladium, zinc, iron and nickel catalysis. In so doing, they systematic introduce readers to the basic principles and illustrate how these innovative catalysts can be effectively used for polymerizations. An ideal reference for every organic chemist working in catalysis or polymer research.
