title: Immobilized catalysts in industrial research and application.
abstract: The present state of the art of the application of immobilized/heterogenized homogeneous catalysts in industrial research and production will be introduced. Special attention is drawn to catalysts which have been tested for the synthesis of chiral compounds. In a second part, commercially available immobilized catalyst systems will be presented, giving the reader an impression of what the favored directions of industrial development are and where future applications of such systems are most likely to occur.
