In-Situ Spectroscopy of Catalysts

Weckhuysen (inorganic chemistry and catalysis, Utrecht University, The Netherlands) covers a range of analytical techniques for investigating the active site and the related reaction mechanism in a working catalyst, offering an overview of the possibilities and limitations of these analytical techniques and covering the latest developments in the field. Techniques are divided into sections on in situ vibrational spectroscopy, in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy, in situ magnetic resonance techniques, and other in situ characterization techniques. The book is for chemists and chemical engineers. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
