Supported transition metal complex catalysts hydroformylation

It is very clear that the field of supported transition metal complex catalysts is a rapidly expanding field. Indeed, only their application to hydrogenation, hydrosilylation, and hydroformylation reactions have received more than a preliminary skirmish. Already a number of points are becoming clear. 

Supported catalysts are of a considerable industrial interest and are the subject of many studies most of them are formed by transition metals or metal ions attached to polymers. They have been used for hydrogenations, hydroformylations, hydrosilylations and oxidations thus thio salts have been oxidized by poly(vinylpyridine)-bound copper complexes. ...
