It is a basic law of chemistry that pressure influences reactions. Thus, high-pressure reactions are no longer a rarity in chemistry today, but rather are indispensable tools – whether for innovative syntheses, new products or for explaining reaction mechanisms. The expert editors, Rudi van Eldik and Frank-Gerrit Klarner, provide a comprehensive overview of this fascinating field, ranging from the influence of high pressure on organic and inorganic reactions, via concrete applications in...
