title: Encapsulated molecular catalysts in polysiloxane gels: ruthenium cluster-catalyzed isomerization of alkenes.
abstract: Novel ruthenium-encapsulating polysiloxane gels are prepared by treatment of polymethylhydrosiloxane with diols in the presence of (mu(3),eta(2),eta(3),eta(5)-acenaphthylene)Ru(3)(CO)(7), and act as reusable catalysts in the isomerization of alkenes without leakage of the catalyst species.
