At UOP, Ipatieff had the opportunity to apply his former research in catalytic promoters and high-pressure technique to develop important catalytic petroleum processing technologies. In contrast to the way he conducted science, Ipatieff s technical efforts were conducted in teams comprised of a wide assortment of specialists. 

Tfctcro-Diels Alder reaction is a powerful methodology in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds. Using the high pressure technique has greatly extended the synthetic applications of this methodology. 

Diels-Alder reactions of furans are markedly reversible because of the aromatic character of the furan nucleus [la]. The lability of the cycloadducts, even at relatively low temperatures, as well as the sensitivity to acidic conditions of both furans and cycloadducts, preclude the use of strong Lewis acids and have therefore given importance to the high pressure technique.

Solvent exchange reactions have been reviewed several times in the last 10 years. A comprehensive review by Lincoln and Merbach was published in this series in 1995 (6). More recent reviews focused more on high pressure techniques for the assignment of reaction mechanisms (7-9) or on water exchange (10). This review is a follow up of the exhaustive Lincoln and Merbach review (6). The main features of solvent exchange on metal ions will be pointed out, taking into account developments and new results from the last 10 years. 

A prolific author, Professor van Eldik has been responsible for some 580 papers in refereed journals, and four books as editor or co-editor. His current research intrests are the application of high pressure techniques in mechanistic studies metal-catalyzed autoxidation processes and bioinorganic studies. As such he is eminently qualified to edit the prestigious Advances in Inorganic Chemistry. We are confident that he is a worthy successor to Professor Geoff Sykes and that he will maintain the high standards for which the series is known.

A number of electron-transfer reactions of biological interest have been studied using high-pressure techniques (4, 5). These include the oxidation of L-ascorbic acid by [Fe(CN)6]3- (148), [Fe(CN)5N02]3 - (149), and Fe(phen)2(CN)2] (150). The first two reactions are characterized by volumes of activation of -16 and 10 cm3 mol-1, respectively, which indicate that solvent rearrangement as a result of an increase in electrostriction must account for the volume collapse on going to... 

In this section a number of different reaction types are presented, for which the application of high-pressure techniques has resulted in important mechanistic information.

High-pressure techniques have been of considerable importance for the comprehension of the properties of energetic materials and explosives, as already mentioned in the case of the high-pressure reactions of nitrogen oxides. In this field, experiments have been carried out mostly in shock waves studying the mechanics of the process that lead to the rapid release of energy in the...

In the industrial manufacture of important starting compounds such as HteCCH2OH, HCaCCH(CHg)OH, and HOCH CsCCI OH, high pressure techniques are employed using alkali hydroxides or copper acetylide as catalyst. For extensive reviews on the alkynylation processes the reader is referred to the book [8] and review of Ziegenbein [6].
