Chemical physics and catalysis
Abstract: The role of chemical physics in the science of catalysis and design of new catalytic technologies is discussed. As particular examples the role of chemical physics in the following areas is considered: homogeneous catalysis with metal complexes, heterogeneous catalysis with anchored metal complexes, heterogeneous catalysis with catalysts prepared via anchored metal complexes and organometallics, catalysis of olefin polymerization, catalysis by metals, catalysis by oxides, catalysis by zeolites, catalysis by heteropolyacids and biomimetic catalysis.
