This handbook and ready reference brings together all significant issues of practical importance for interested readers in one single volume. <br>While covering homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, the text is unique in focusing on such important aspects as using different reaction media, microwave techniques or catalyst recycling. It also provides a comprehensive treatment of modern-day coupling reactions and emphasizes those topics that show potential for future development, such as continuous flow systems, water as a reaction medium, and catalyst immobilization, among others. <br>With its inclusion of large-scale applications, this will equally be of great interest to industrial chemists.<br>
