oa Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Catalytic Phenomena

At an international colloquium sponsored by the Centre National de la Recherche and held at Lyon in November 1977 the four principal lectures, and several of the supporting ones, featured the use of platinum group metals as catalysts. The main objective of this meeting was to bring together chemists working with heterogeneous catalytic reactions and others specialising in inorganic and organometallic chemistry in order that they could together consider the relations between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalytic phenomena.
