Chinese edition of popular catalysis textbook published
23 June 2020
Rothenberg's book covers homogeneous, heterogeneous and biocatalysis and includes a special chapter on computer applications and data mining in catalysis research. According to Wiley-VCH, publisher of the original edition in English, it is the most popular introductory textbook to catalysis. This book has now been translated by professors Hualong Xu, Wei Shen, Weiming Hua and Yinhong Yue from Fudan University, where Rothenberg was Senior Visiting Scholar in 2017.
Straightforward, accurate and simple
The strong relationship developed with colleagues at Fudan University led to the translation project. This helped to convince the editors at Wiley-VCH and at the Chinese publisher HEP, who gave the project their blessing and support. Every effort was made to keep the translation straightforward, accurate and simple. The Chinese paperback edition now sells at only 50RMB per copy (€6,50) on Tmall.com, the Chinese equivalent of Amazon. References and colour figures are accessible via QR codes that can be scanned in WeChat to access the original files.
