title: Multiphasic heterogeneous catalysis mediated by catalyst-philic liquid phases.
abstract: This critical review addresses heterogeneous catalysis in systems where multiple liquid phases coexist and where one of the phases is catalyst-philic. This technique provides built-in catalyst separation, and product recovery for organic reactions. Focus is placed on the components of the multiphasic systems with emphasis on the constituents of the catalyst-philic phases (PEGs, onium salts, ionic liquids) that incorporate the catalysts, as well as on the effects on catalytic efficiency. It collects a wide body of scattered information that is often labelled with different terms.
