Introduction to Room?Temperature Catalysis
Highlighting sustainable catalytic processes in synthetic organic chemistry and industry, this useful guide places special emphasis on catalytic reactions carried out at room temperature.
It describes the fundamentals, summarizes key advances, and covers applications in industrial processes in the field of energy generation from renewables, food science, and pollution control. Throughout, the latest research from various disciplines is combined, such as homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, biocatalysis, and photocatalysis. The book concludes with a chapter on future trends and energy challenges for the latter half of the 21st century.
With its multidisciplinary approach this is an essential reference for academic and industrial researchers in catalysis science aiming to design more sustainable and energy-efficient processes.

Summary This chapter provides an overview and points out some of the most relevant catalytic systems that allow carrying out catalytic reactions at room temperature. The catalytic systems will be divided in two main groups depending on the nature of the catalyst involved, namely: ionic liquids and homogeneous and heterogeneous catalyst?containing transition metals from groups 9 to 11 of the periodic table. Homogeneous catalysts are often superior to heterogeneous ones in terms of activity and, in particular, selectivity. Heterogeneous catalysis overcomes some of the main drawbacks in homogeneous catalysis, such as the recovery and recycling of the catalysts. The chapter surveys some of the most relevant homogeneous and heterogeneous catalytic reaction systems reported in literature, allowing reactions to be carried out at room temperature. Application of catalytic systems relying on ionic liquid catalysts and/or reaction media is a rather new direction in room?temperature catalysis that may offer added advantages, as highlighted in selected examples.
