Hydrotreating catalysis with transition metal sulphides is one of the most important areas of industrial heterogeneous catalysis. The present book deals with the chemical and catalytic aspects of transition metal sulphides, focusing on their use in hydrotreating catalysis. The book¿s 12 chapters present reviews of solid-state, coordination and organometallic chemistry, surface science and spectroscopic studies, quantum chemical calculations, catalytic studies with model and real catalysts, as well as refinery processes. A presentation of state-of-the-art background to pertinent work in the field. Can be used as an introduction to the chemical and catalytic properties of transition metal sulphides as well as an advanced level reference.

During the whole period of my PhD, spent in co-tutorship between Università degli Studi dell'Insubria and UPMC in Paris, I have directed my efforts towards the study of C-O and C-N bonds formation by new transition metal-catalyzed reactions.Pursuing our ongoing project on intra- and intermolecular transition metal-catalyzed amination and alkoxylation reactions involving C-H functionalization, we tried to perform two intramolecular alkoxylation procedures of carbon-carbon multiple bonds to obtain oxygenated heterocycles and one intermolecular oxidative allylic amination to accomplish nitrogen-based scaffolds.Performed at intramolecular level, transition metal-catalyzed reactions offer a versatile strategy to obtain cyclic molecules, not easily obtainable by conventional synthetic methods and starting from readily available starting materials, and represent one of the key methodologies for the progress of green and sustainable chemistry. Dealing with alkoxylation protocols, two different research lines based on transition metal catalysis applied to domino reactions were investigated. Domino processes are efficient tools to rapidly increase the molecular complexity through the formation of more than one bond in a single step, respecting the rule of step economy. While the domino approach involving alkenes and allenes is well investigated, examples involving alkynes are somewhat limited in the literature.
