Stereoselective synthesis: bond formation, methodologies, and activation modes
F O C U S Non-porous hydrogenation catalysts The key to this invention is the combination of a lanthanide metal with a precious metal on a non-porous base. US 8,822,370, UOP LLC, Des Plaines, IL, USA, 2 Sep 2014
Catalyst regeneration process Heavily coked zeolite catalysts used in petrochemical processes are regenerated with the use of steam during regeneration, in addition to oxygen.

BOOKSHELF Advances in organometallic chemistry and catalysis The Proceedings of the XXVth ICOMC meeting held in Lisbon, Portugal, in Sep 2012. This was a very large, important meeting. The book is not the Proceedings, but aims to present recent advances and topics of current interest. I will mention only one subject covered – ionic liquids for hydrogen storage. A.J.L. Pombeiro (ed), 2014, John Wiley & Sons, Hoboken, NJ, USA, ISBN 978-1-118-51014-8, 714 pp, £108
Innovative catalysis in organic synthesis This book is derived from a COST meeting in Ankara, Turkey, in 2010. There are 52 contributors from 15 countries, P.G. Andersson (ed), 2012, Wiley-VCH, Weinheim, Germany, ISBN 978-3-527-33097-3, 356 pp, £104
Stereoselective synthesis: bond formation, methodologies, and activation modes This is an overview from 2000, with 36 contributors from 9 countries. R.R. Torres (ed), 2013, John Wiley & Sons, Hoboken, NJ, USA, ISBN 978-1-118-20353-8, 662 pp, £124
