Description:	Molecular chemistry has laid down the rules for understanding and prepar- ingwell-definedorganometallicandmetallo-organiccomplexesthathavebeen centraltothedevelopmentofhomogeneouscatalysts.Thegoalofthisbookisto showthat molecular chemistryisalso atoolforstudying muchlarger systems, such as those involved in heterogeneous catalysis. Heterogeneous catalysts are typically made of oxide materials, metallic particles, or organometallic com- ponents. While the main part of the catalyst is constituted by the bulk of the material, the catalytic events take place at the interface between the reactant phase and the surface of the material, and more specifically at the active sites. Thus, these systems correspond to large ensembles of atoms (metal particles or oxides), which are composed of organometallic and metallo-organic build- ing blocks, and active sites, which can be described as organometallic and metallo-organic centres. It is therefore obvious that molecular organometallic (and inorganic) chemistry must play an essential role in the field of hetero- geneous catalysis whether discussing the method of preparation of catalysts, the understanding of catalytic phenomena on surfaces, or the rational devel- opment of better catalysts. In this book, we have therefore addressed these various questions through selected examples. The first two chapters focus on themolecularunderstandingofknownindustrialheterogeneouscatalysts.The third contribution discusses the synthesis and the properties of tailored oxide materials. The next paper addresses the use of surface science as a tool for un- derstanding the active sites of heterogeneous catalysts. The fifth chapter tack- les the preparation of well-defined active sites through surface organometallic chemistry and their relation to the understanding of industrial processes. The sixth contribution discusses the use of metal clusters as a model of metallic particles. Finally, the remaining two chapters focus on the use of well-defined organometallic complexes for the synthesis of nanoparticles and their use in catalysis.
