Ranging from mechanistic studies to industrial applications, this handbook is the first to comprehensively explores the topic of iridium in organic synthesis. The important advances in iridium mediated reactions namely hydrogenation, hydroamination, hydroboration, C-C bond formation, carbonylation and cycloaddition are discussed. The book presents the most widely exploited iridium catalysed reactions, such as asymmetric reductions, together with the recent advances including the use of soluble metal nanoparticles as catalysts. In general terms, this book covers the application of iridium catalysts in organic synthesis from the more basic reactions to highlighted topics, including the use of specific ligands in the most important of transition metal catalysed reactions. The extensive treatment of relevant and current topics together with the high quality of the contributions make this book a must for organic and inorganic, academic and industrial chemists providing the reader with strategies and solutions for synthetic problems. A must have for scientists working in organic chemistry, coordination chemistry and catalysis, as well as those working with organometallics.
