Much effort has gone into the immobilization of homogeneous catalysts based on the idea that in this way the catalysts could be not only separated more easily from the product but also reused several times, thus reducing the cost of the catalyst use. So far none of these immobilized catalysts...
de Vries, illustrates the conclusion of their review article on "Why Does Industry Not Use Immobilized Transition Metal Complexes as Catalysts?" Much effort has gone into the immobilization of homogeneous catalysts in an attempt to create a catalyst that is easily removed and that can be reused ...
