“…1,2 The usefulness of this approach to heterogenization of molecularly well-defined transition-metal catalysts was demonstrated in syntheses of polysiloxanebound phosphines, 3,4 ether phosphines [5][6][7][8] and an aminophosphine. 9 Hydrogenation 3,6,8 and N,N-dimethylformamide synthesis 4,10 were carried out under catalysis by these materials, in the latter case with turnover numbers exceeding 100 000. Polysiloxane-bound cyclopentadienylmetal complexes made by the sol-gel method were reported only in one case of a polysiloxane-bound ferrocene, 11 despite the great importance of cyclopentadienyl metal complexes in organometallic chemistry.…”
