Polysiloxanes grafted

While polymers most commonly consist of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen, hybrid materials containing metals or other elements represent an important class of materials [76-78]. Hybrid materials too have been used as hyperbranched grafts. Two examples of such materials are described here. The first is a polysiloxane graft. The second is a dendritic coordination polymer based on a thermally and oxygen stable Pd(II) pincer complex [79].

The application of polymer-supported catalysts has now been extended to the synthesis of complexes between transition metal derivatives and structurally ordered macromolecular ligands to give catalytic systems exhibiting high activity and stereoselectivity. Polystyrene and polymethacrylate resin and polystyrene-divinylbenzene-polystyrene-polybutadiene block copolymers, as well as vinyl-functionalized polysiloxanes grafted onto silica, are very suitable polymers for heterogenization of mostly Pt and Rh complexes. Moreover, polyamides exhibit much higher thermal stability than conventional polystyrene supports (114).
