Carbon formation using inorganic support

Table 2.3 Examples of heterogeneous asymmetric carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond formation using inorganic supports. 

Since 1985, several thousands of publications have appeared on complexes that are active as catalysts in the addition of carbon monoxide in reactions such as carbonylation of alcohols, hydroformylation, isocyanate formation, polyketone formation, etc. It will therefore be impossible within the scope of this chapter to review all these reports. In many instances we will refer to recent review articles and discuss only the results of the last few years. Second, we will focus on those reports that have made use explicitly of coordination complexes, rather than in situ prepared catalysts. Work not containing identified complexes but related to publications discussing well-defined complexes is often mentioned by their reference only. Metal salts used as precursors on inorganic supports are often less well defined and most reports on these will not be mentioned. 

We pioneered the use a noncoherent IR radiation for a formation of the metal -carbon film on a surface of porous inorganic support. In this research the film was obtained from a mixture PAN and ammonium perrhenate solutions in dimethylformamide on the surface of the porous stainless steel. 

Other type of carbons including CNTs, active carbons and even advantageous with respect to other inorganic supports. It can be expected that the use of these G-supported catalysts to promote oxidation reaction will expand to cover other types of oxidations, in particularly oxidations of hydrocarbons leading to the selective formation of epoxides, alkenes, alcohols, and ketones.
