title: Alpha-zirconium phosphonates: versatile supports for N-heterocyclic carbenes.
abstract: alpha-Zirconium phosphonates derivatised with N-heterocyclic carbenes provide a versatile platform for organocatalysis and metal-catalysed transformations, including the ring-opening polymerisation of cyclic esters, and olefin metathesis and hydroformylations by surface-bound ruthenium, rhodium and iridium complexes.
