Book description

Organometallic compounds are utilized as reagents in the preparation and processing of advanced nanostructured materials, as catalysts in the production of a wide variety of specialty chemicals and polymers, and as drugs. Supercritical fluid science and technology has a wide variety of applications ranging from extraction of pharmaceutically active compounds to the synthesis of advanced materials. The combination of organometallic chemistry and supercritical fluids has significant potential. This book covers the fundamental aspects and related applications in this rapidly growing area.

  • Covers the preparation of nanostructured composite materials using supercritical fluids
  • Focuses on the intersection of organometallic chemistry and supercritical fluids
  • Addresses the behavior of organometallic compounds in supercritical fluid environments
