Modern Carbonylation Methods

László Kollar is the department head of the Department of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Pécs, Hungary. Professor Kollár has authored about 150 papers in refereed scientific journals and received numerous scientific awards including the George Olah Prize and the Research Prize of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.

Comprehensively covering modern carbonylation chemistry, this book is an indispensable companion for all synthetic chemists working in industry and academia. This monograph contains everything there is to know from recent advances in the investigation of carbonylation catalysts, via coordination chemistry to the synthetic application of transition metal catalyzed carbonylations.
