Metal-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation, Volume 68 in the Advances in Catalysis series, fills the gap between journal papers and textbooks across diverse areas of catalysis research. For more than 60 years, this series has recorded and presented the latest progress in the field of catalysis, giving the scientific community comprehensive and authoritative reviews. Chapters in this new release include Asymmetric hydrogenation of functionalized olefins, Asymmetric hydrogenation of unfunctionalized olefins or with poorly coordinative groups, Asymmetric hydrogenation of imines, Asymmetric hydrogenation of ketones, Asymmetric hydrogenation in industry, and Computational insights into metal-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation.

This series is an invaluable and comprehensive resource for chemical engineers and chemists working in the field of catalysis in both academia and industry, with this release focusing on solid acids, surface acidity and heterogeneous acid catalysis.

Über Autor(innen)

Diéguez, Montserrat
Montserrat Diéguez studied chemistry at the Rovira i Virgili University (URV) in Tarragona (Spain), where she earned her Ph.D. in 1997, working in the group of Prof. C. Claver. After completing a postdoctoral fellowship where she worked with Prof. R.H. Crabtree at Yale University, in New Haven (USA), she returned to Tarragona in 1999 and accepted a lectureship position at the URV, becoming part of the permanent staff in 2002. In 2011 she was promoted to full Professor in Inorganic Chemistry at the URV.

She has been involved in more than 60 research projects in the fields of organometallic chemistry, steroselective synthesis, and asymmetric catalysis. She is the author/co-author of more than 150 articles in SCI-indexed journals and book chapters, and of several contributions to conferences. She received distinction from the Generalitat de Catalunya for the promotion of University Research in 2004 and from the URV in 2008. She has also been awarded the ICREA Academia Prize from the Catalan Institution for Research and Advanced Studies 2009-14 and 2015-20, for research excellence, facilitating research priority dedication. Her main research interests are focused on the sustainable design, synthesis, and screening of highly active and selective chiral catalysts for reactions of interest to the biological, pharmaceutical, and organic nanotechnological industries. Her areas of interest include organometallic chemistry, stereoselective synthesis, and asymmetric catalysis, using combinatorial and biotechnological approaches.
