For 'better solutions' - this practical guide describes how to take
advantage of supercritical fluids in chemical synthesis.
Well-established in extractions and materials processing,
supercritical fluids are becoming increasingly popular as media for
modern chemical syntheses. Historically, the application of
compressed gases has been restricted mainly to the production of
bulk chemicals. In the last decade, however, research has turned to
exploiting the unique properties of supercritical fluids for the
synthesis of fine chemicals and specialized materials. Now that the
necessary equipment is more readily available, the use of
supercritical fluids should become more widespread in both
laboratory and industrial scale syntheses.

More than merely a concise introduction to the properties of
supercritical fluids, here leading experts give a thorough,
up-to-date account of chemistry in these alternative media.
In-depth scientific commentary, detailed reaction protocols,
descriptions of necessary equipment, and an outline of
spectroscopic techniques add to the value of this handbook aimed at
innovative synthetic chemists.
