Chemistry in Interphases-A New Approach to Organometallic Syntheses and Catalysis.
Combining the advantages of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis is still a problem that has not been satisfactorily solved. Chemistry in interphases offers a new approach for overcoming the difficulties, as is described in this article. Owing to the swellable or porous matrix, an interphase represents a state which in the most favorable case is similar to that of a solution. Moreover the proper choice of a mobile hybrid copolymer enables the control of the density and accessibility of the reactive centers, which results in a distinct improvement of the activity of the catalysts (two examples are shown schematically).
