CAFC9: 9th Congress on Catalysis Applied to Fine Chemicals

摘要

Fine chemicals have been defined in many ways, but one definition would be that they are chemical products with specific properties which give them a high added value. As a consequence these molecules are, in general, polyfunctional molecules that require highly selective synthetic methods. Therefore, catalysis plays a crucial role in fine chemicals synthesis,and any improvements in catalytic performance can have a very positive impact on the fine chemicals industry.
