Abstract:
The heterogenization of homogeneous catalysts is a current topic in sustainable chemistry and catalysis. Such immobilized molecular catalysts provide access to environmentally benign chemical syntheses due to the ease of product separation and concomitant waste decrease. This perspective focuses on the fabrication of nanostructured catalysts by using amorphous (non)porous silica or metal oxides and periodic mesoporous (organo)silicas PM(O)S as 1(st) and 2(nd) generation supports, respectively, as well as metal (silyl)amide complexes as tailor-made grafting precursors. The pertinent SOMC (SOMC = surface organometallic chemistry) places special emphasis on organometallic hybrid materials that display properties distinct from the respective molecular catalysts and on new catalytic avenues which originate from 2(nd) generation supports.

Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...
