"...a useful contribution to the literature of transition-metal catalysed organic chemistry, and will be of value to both academics and industrialists."
Organic Process Research & Development

"... this timely book is a concisely written and highly valuable reference that will find widespread use by scientists ..."
Journal of the American Chemical Society

"Directed towards graduate students and synthetic chemists at all levels in academia and industry, it represents an attempt to bring together and categorize, in a systematic and comprehensive manner, a very disparate collection of numerous rhodium-catalysed organic reactions... Although not exhaustive the coverage does provide an excellent perspective on the enormous and wide-ranging activity associated with the application of rhodium catalysis in synthetic organic chemistry. The book is well-written and presented... The book contains an excellent, comprehensive index, which represents a refreshing change from many similar texts of this genre and such attention to detail is to be applauded. ...this book provides, in one volume, a detailed account of the range of current methodologies and applications in organic synthesis that are available using rhodium catalysts. It should therefore serve not only as an excellent reference text but also as an excellent source of ideas from which to develop further the ever-widening subject of rhodium catalysis by the practitioners of synthetic organic chemistry. Finally, the asking price ... for a volume of this sort seems entirely reasonable in present-day terms.
Applied Organometallic Chemistry

"In 19 Kapiteln vermitteln 31 Autoren dem Leser einen insgesamt sehr guten Überblick über die zahlreichen Anwendungsmöglichkeiten von Rhodiumkomplexen in der organischen Synthese. ... Die einzelnen Beiträge sind sowohl inhaltlich wie auch technisch (Qualität der Illustrationen) insgesamt von hoher Qualität und vermitteln einen sehr guten Überblick über moderne Entwicklungen auf den jeweiligen Gebieten."
