A unique guide written for the chemist who is planning to use or is considering the possible use of supported reagents, an application with great growth potential in the near future.

Using practical examples of methods of supported reagent analysis, this comprehensive reference source also contains useful references detailing the best techniques to apply to particular problems. The authors discuss the many choices available in the preparation of supported reagents, including loading, support, method of preparation and activation, as well as covering the various analytical...

Waste minimisation has a number of aims which include enhancing the intrinsic selectivity of any given process, providing a means of recovering reagents in a form which allows easy regeneration and the replacement of stoichiometric processes with catalytic ones. Solids, as catalysts or as supports for other reagents, offer potential for benefit in all these areas. This monograph provides an overview of the properties of the more useful solid catalysts and supported reagents, and highlights their most valuable applications in the preparation of organic chemicals in liquid phase reactions....
