Several years ago one of the important research subjects in catalytic engineering—correlation among the methods of preparation of solid catalysts and their physical and chemical structures and their selective activities—had scarcely been reported. Therefore, in 1954 we started a systematic study along this line and since then have received the continuous collaboration of many researchers in other institutes.

Coordination chemistry and organometallic chemistry enable molecular control of catalytic complexes by manipulation and choice of ligands. Such complexes can also be used as precursors to the catalytically active components of heterogeneous catalysts, resulting in homogeneous distribution of well-defined catalytic clusters. These developments create the promise of a molecular catalytic engineering approach.

Although in the chemical industry, the main focus is currently on heterogeneous catalysis, other fields (homogeneous, enzymatic, photochemical, electrochemical catalysis) should not be overlooked, as very often the industrial aim is to produce a certain chemical in the most optimal way, but not with a particular type of catalyst. The industrial importance of catalysis also dictates a necessity to have a book devoted to the fundamental aspects of catalytic kinetics, as well as catalytic engineering and, more specifically, transport phenomena.
