Interfacial Catalysis examines experimental systems in phase transfer catalysis and theoretical analyses of interfacial photocatalytic environments.

Interfacial Catalysis comprehensively discusses

• two-phase nucleophilic substitution reactions
• electrochemical polymerization reactions at the liquid—liquid interface
• interfacial catalysis in metal extraction systems
• interfacial aggregation of metal complexes

Interfacial Catalysis is an invaluable compendium for nanoscientists, nanotechnologists, electrochemists, photochemists, biochemists, biophysicists, surface scientists, colloid scientists, chemical engineers, and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
