✦ Synopsis

Heterogeneous catalysts are an important tool for greener catalytic processes due to the ease of their removal from the reaction mixture and feasibility of reuse. When these catalysts can operate in the ideal green solvent, water, they improve the sustainability of the process. This book explores aqueous mediated heterogeneous catalysts and their use in synthesis. Topics covered include nanomaterials, quantum dots, metal organic frameworks, and their use as catalysts.

Explores aqueous mediated heterogeneous catalysts and their use in synthesis.

Contains chapters on their use in heterocycle formation, biofuel production, photocatalysis, electrochemical CO₂ production, C-C coupling reactions and more.
