nanoparticle catalysts under flow conditions directed toward organic synthesis is
described. Finally, multidisciplinary fields such as biological applications (chapter
“Nanocatalysis Meets Biology”) and asymmetric catalysis (chapter “Chiral Metal
Nanoparticles for Asymmetric Catalysis”) are introduced. In those chapters, new
ideas and technologies for more green and sustainable processes are discussed.
This volume comprehensively summarizes advances in metal nanoparticle catalysis across several aspects including reaction manners, mechanistic investigations,
and new synthetic methodologies to encourage the use of metal nanoparticle catalysts for future organic synthesis. It can direct next-generation fine chemical
synthesis.
I would like to thank all the authors for their great contributions. Professor Pierre
Dixneuf (Rennes), who encouraged me strongly to make this volume, is greatly
acknowledged. I am also grateful to Dr. Charlotte Hollingworth and Ms. Alamelu
Damodharan (Springer Nature) for their continuous assistance to complete this
volume.
Finally, I hope that this volume will lead to new ideas and research efforts in this
field.
