Transition metal catalysis belongs to the most important
chemical research areas because a ubiquitous number of chemical
reactions are catalyzed by transition metal compounds. Many efforts
are being made by industry and academia to find new and more
efficient catalysts for chemical processes. Transition metals play
a prominent role in catalytic research because they have been
proven to show an enormous diversity in lowering the activation
barrier for chemical reactions. For many years, the search for new
catalysts was carried out by trial and error, which was costly and
time consuming. The understanding of the mechanism of the catalytic
process is often not very advanced because it is difficult to study
the elementary steps of the catalysis with experimental techniques.
The development of modern quantum chemical methods for calculating
possible intermediates and transition states was a breakthrough in
gaining an understanding of the reaction pathways of transition
metal catalyzed reactions. This volume, organized into eight
chapters written by leading scientists in the field, illustrates
the progress made during the last decade. The reader will obtain a
deep insight into the present state of quantum chemical research in
transition metal catalysis.
