EPILOGUE
Boy Cornils has worked at the Ruhrchemie AG in Oberhausen, Germany,
where homogeneous catalysis started with the hydroformylation
reaction found by Otto Roelen, and with the former Hoechst AG in
Frankfurt, Germany. In both locations he was director of the
research. He is editor of several bestselling titles.
Wolfgang A. Herrmann is president of the Technical University of
Munich and has received several awards for his work in
organometallic chemistry, like the Otto-Bayer Medal, the DFG
Leibniz Award, the ACS Award in Organometallic Chemistry, Max
Planck Research Award, the GDCh Wilhelm Klemm Award and many more.
He has authored a plethora of publications and is the editor of
numerous bestselling books.
Matthias Beller is director of the Leibniz-Institute for Catalysis
and Professor for Catalysis at the University of Rostock. He has
received several awards such as the Otto-Roelen Medal, the DFG
Leibniz Award, the first European Prize for Sustainable Chemistry,
the Emil Fischer Medal and the Wohler Prize of the German Chemical
Society and the Gay-Lussac-Alexander-von-Humboldt Prize.
Rocco Paciello is a research manager at BASF SE in Ludwigshafen,
Germany. After experience as a research chemist and assistant plant
manager, he became responsible for the homogeneous catalysis group
at BASF and has led it for the last fifteen years. The group is
focused on finding new technical applications of transition metal
catalyzed homogeneous catalysis, such as hydroformylations,
carbonylations
and hydrogenations.
