title: Immobilization of monomeric organometallic molybdenum oxo and carbonyl complexes and their application in epoxidation reactions.
abstract: Various oxomolybdenum complexes are efficient and selective homogeneous catalysts in the presence of organic hydroperoxides. The increasing interest in the heterogenisation of such catalysts has led to an increased interest in finding suitable support materials for the complexes. These supports include ionic liquids, mesoporous materials and zeolites to name a few. Several methods are used to anchor the catalyst depending on the nature of the carrier material. The supported catalysts combine properties of homogeneous catalysts such as reactivity, control and selectivity with those of heterogeneous catalysts such as enhanced stability and recyclability.
