Introdu ction Mank ind’ s ever-growing dem and for energy an d raw m aterials is gradually pushing natu ral resources to th eir limits, giving rise to more environmental problems. In this regard, chemistry has played a contradictory role, although it represents one of the most su cc essful and diverse sectors of manu factu ring industries in m any regions of the world. The r ange of chemical products is enormous, and they make invaluable contr ibutions to our quality of lif e. H ow- ever, these manufac turing processes also lead to millions of tons of waste. As a consequence, the role of chemistry is not generally accepted by govern- ments or the public; chemistry is actually considered by many as the cause of the problems. Hence, the so-c alled “ green chemistry” becomes increasingly importa nt, with t he objective to creat e new products, processes, and services tha t achieve s oci etal, e co - nomic, and environmental benefits. 1-5 The challenge for chemists include the discovery and evaluation of n ew synthetic pathways u sing alternative feedstocks, the elaboration and employ- ment of more favorable reactio n conditions and solvents for improved selectivity as well as energy minimization, and the design of less toxic and inher- ently sa fer chemic als. 6 In chemical synthesis, th e ideal will be the combination of a number of environ- mental, h ealth, safety, a nd e conomic tar gets.

Mank ind’s ever-growing dem an d for energy an draw m aterials is gradually pushing natu ral resourcesto th eir l imits, giving rise to more environmentalp r ob le m s . I n t h i s r e ga r d , ch e m is t r y h a s p la y ed acontradictory role, although it represents one of themost su ccessful and diverse sectors of ma nu factu ringindustries in m any regions of the world.

Moreover, impr oved cata lytic processes could lead t omore efficient consumption of energy a nd natu ralresources as well as sequestra tion of the greenh ousegas CO2.

With t he a im t o develop h igh-performa nce heter o-genized homogeneous cat alysts, t he concept of chem-

istry in interphases has recently been introduced.55

This term was imported from chromatography intothe area of supported transition metal complexes in1995.56 An interphase is defined as a region withina material in which a stationary and mobile compo-nent penetrate each other on a molecular level (seeFigure 1). The stationary phase is composed of aninert matrix, a flexible spacer, and an active center,whereas the mobile phase consists of a solvent or agaseous, liquid, or dissolved r eactant . In th e case of chromatography, the active center fulfills the functionof an interaction center, whereas in catalysis, thea ct i ve s it e i s a r e a ct i ve ce n t e r , f or e xa m p le , a norganometallic complex. In an ideal interphase, thereactive center is uniform, well-defined, and highly

mobile. Therefore, an interphase is able to simulatehomogeneous reaction conditions, and at the sametime it has the advantage of a heterogeneous catalyst.Rigid but highly porous materials can as well serveas supporting matrix provided that sufficiently longspacers lead to a satisfactory mobility of the reactivecenter s. Major dr awbacks of conventional su pportedcata lysts such as leaching, poor selectivity, an drestricted accessibility of the reactive centers can beovercome. These systems combine m any advan ta gesof homogeneous (high activity, high selectivity, highreproducibility) and heter ogeneous (easy sepa ra tiona n d r e cov er y of t h e ca t a l ys t s fr om t h e r e a ct i onmixture) catalysis.

II. Organic Groups as Reactive Centers 

Acids, bases, and oxidants are fundamental andimportant catalysts applied in a wide spectrum of  organ ic conversions, for example, in addition, con-densation, and redox reactions. However, the produc-tion of large amounts of waste and the costly sepa-r a t i on a n d ca t a l ys t r e cov er y h a v e a l wa y s ca u s e dproblems. An additional intricacy is that some or-ganic acids, such as peroxoacids, are not stable andtherefore are unsafe for use on a large scale. Clearly,

the immobilization of a cids, bases, a nd oxidantswithin a solid support is a major advantage in theprolonged quest for heterogeneous catalysts for or-ganic reactions, which results in an improvementwith respect to workup, r ecycling, and sta bility.61-67

A. Solid Acids

A typical example is the preparation of uniformlymodified polysilsesquioxanes from 1,4-bis(tr ieth oxy-

silyl)but-2-ene an d HP O(OEt)2 to get 1,4-bis(trieth-oxysilyl)-2-(diethylphosphonato)butane via a radicaladdition reaction, which was then transferred to aninsoluble product by an acid-catalyzed sol-gel pro-cess (Schem e 1).68 The corr esponding ph osphonic acid

modified polysilsesquioxane 1 was isolated aftert r e a t m e n t of t h e p h os p h on a t e w it h con ce n t r a t e dhydrochloric acid an d cha racterized by m ultinu clearsolid-stat e n uclear magn etic resonance (NMR) spec-troscopy.

Polymer 1 offers a new class of solid acids, whichhas been considered as a catalyst in the pinacol-

pinacolone rea rr an gement. Treat ment of pina col with1 at 140 °C resulted in a high conversion to pina-colone after 12 h (eq 1a). The same cata lyst was a lsosuccessful in the dehydration of cyclohexanol at 120°C, but with low activity (eq 1b; Table 1). Controlexperiments with mesoporous or microporous silica

I t should bepointed out that industrial processes for the accessto cyclohexene require high temperatures and pres-sur es wher e cyclohexanol is fed to a ctivat ed cata lystssuch as sil ica, alumina, or zinc aluminate at 380-450 °C.

Peroxoacids function as active straightforward

epoxidation reagents with wide applications. Theyar e often employed for th e epoxidat ion of un function-alized a lkenes and do not require further cata lysts.To immobilize peroxoacid, in a first step polysiloxane-supported nitriles are prepared by sol-gel processingof (2-cyanoethyl)triethoxysilane (CETS) in the pres-ence of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) (Scheme 2).69

Subsequent hydrolysis by aqueous sulfuric acid af-forded the polysiloxane-anchored car boxylic acids.Treatment of these m aterials with methan esulfonica ci d a n d h y d r og en p e r ox id e g a ve t h e s u p p or t e d

Thenumber of peroxoacid groups was determined byreductive t i tration with 0.1 M aqueous Na 2S2O3 inthe presence of iodide.

All three acids 2a ,b a n d 3 were successfully appliedin th e epoxidation of alken es (eq 2).

B. Solid Bases

The preparation of organically modified silica-bearing amine groups via the sol-gel method has

been known for some time, but their application assimple catalysts and reagents for organic synthesisis much less developed.71-74 In pa rticular, th e groupof Avnir wa s inter ested in t he pr epara tion of propyl-amine-anchored silica 4 ob t a in e d b y t h e s ol-ge lprocess of tetram ethoxysilane (TMOS) and 3-(di-ethoxymethylsilyl)propylamine (Scheme 3).75

The a ctivity of supported a mine 4 was determinedby dehydrobromination of 2-phenylethyl bromide or10-bromo-10,11-dihydro-5 H -dibenzo[a,d]-cycloheptan-5-one (eq 3; Table 1).

demonstrated that guanidines can be supported, buttheir successful application in organic synthesis islimited. Novel guanidine bases supported on silicaor micelle-templated silica (MTS) are typical ex-amples (Scheme 6).84

To prepare such systems, (chloropropyl)trimethoxy-silane was sol-gel processed with TE OS in eth an ol.Subsequent trimethylsilylation of the surfaces wasachieved with N ,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide. Treat-ment of this ma terial with 1,1,3,3-tetra methylguani-

Cyclohexenone was reacted with hydrogen peroxidein m ethanol at 20 °C to probe the catalytic activity(eq 6; Table 3). Excellent conversions and selectivities(89%) toward epoxides were achieved, whereas previ-ously supported guanidines led to a conversion of only42%.85 Similar results were obtained with cyclopen-tenone. Repeated use of the recovered catalyst indi-cates a significantly poorer performance, possibly dueto t he adsorption of small quantit ies of byproductssuch as diols at the active site.

C. TEMPO-Modified Sol−Gel Materials

Stable organic nitroxyl radicals belonging to the

2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) family

are outstanding catalysts for selective oxidations. 86

The radicals are soluble in water (∼1% w/w) where,

i n t h e p r e se n ce of a l k a l in e (p H 9-1 0 ) N a O C l a s

primary oxidant along with a catalytic amount of  

bromide, they mediate the conversion of  -CH 2OH

groups into car boxylic fun ctions with complete se-lectivity for the primar y a lcohols. Blum’s group h as

recently disclosed that sol-gel-processed TEMPO is

an effective catalyst for the oxidation of sugars with

N a O B r i n t o u r o n a t e s (S ch e m e 7 ).87 T h e T E M P O

moiety was tethered to (MeO)3Si(CH 2)3NH 2 by reduc-

tive a mina tion of 4-oxo-TEMPO (TEMPON). Then

the radical monomer was homogeneously entrapped

within a sil ica matrix by the sol-gel process with

TMOS as a co-polycondensation agent to produce 8.

Catalyst 8 promoted the oxidation of methyl R-D-

glucopyranoside to the corresponding uronic acid (eq

7 ) . I n e a c h r u n n o o t h e r p r o d u c t s a p a r t f r o m t h e

u r on a t e (t h e con t e n t of w h i ch w a s a l so m e a s u r e d

with the colorimetric test for uronic acids) were

detected in th e reaction mixture. In four consecutive

reaction cycles the catalyst retained its activity, as

well as its sh ape a nd a ppearan ce. Interestingly, after

each run a higher degree of oxidation (∼95%) was

found (Table 3). Fur thermore, n o leaching of en-

tra pped ra dicals into th e solut ion wa s detected (with

a spectroscopic limit of 10 ppm). This is important

because many heterogeneous oxidations can actuallybe promoted by catalysts leached into the solution.

By separating th e cata lyst from th e reaction m ixtur e

shortly (30 min) after the beginning of the oxidation,

t h e m ot h e r l iq u or h a s b ee n i n ve s t ig a t ed , w h ich

indicated no extra format ion of uronate. The r euse

activity of  8 was also confirmed by electron spin

resonan ce (ESR) spectroscopy prior to and after

consecutive reaction runs. Detailed aspects affecting

the catalytic properties of  8 (including the ratio of 

metal to water, amount of alcohol, pH value, tem-

perature, drying t ime, and other important param-

eters) have been patented.88

system Cp 2*TiCl2. I t was sti l l active in the absenceof butylli thium and could be reused. The authorssuggested that the variance in catalytic activity isattributed to variable methods of anchoring of thetitanium complexes using different qualities of TEOS,which lead to altered morphologies of the polysilox-anes and hence different availabilities for the cata-lytically active centers.95 Because in dependence onsynthetic procedures th e a ctive sites a re inside th ematrix and not on the surface of the materials, thereaction conditions need to be selected carefully sotha t the accessibility of the reactive centers is m ain-tained.

Organometallic chromium complexes are effectivein the regio- and stereoselective hydrogenation of  various unsaturated systems.97,98 Polysiloxane-boundchromium complexes were applied in the hydrogena-tion of meth yl sorbat e, 3-nonene-2-one, an d 1-octyne.As a catalyst served 10 , which was obtained by co-

condensation of η6-C6H 5Si(OEt)3Cr(CO)3 with TMOSand subsequent curing (Scheme 9; eq 9).99 As meth -

Subsequent poly-co-condensation with TEOS inthe presence of nitrogen ba ses gave catalysts 11 a-c(Scheme 10), which were characterized by ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption spectr oscopy, th ermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), electron paramagneticresonane (EPR), and electron spectroscopy imaging(ESI). Polymers 11 a-c were active in the epoxidationof ( Z )-cyclooctene u sing P hIO as oxidan t (eq 10). Thecatalytic activities of 11 a-c were less than those of the corresponding h omogeneous system, and the rat eof conversion was also lower (Table 5).

Another modified tetrakis(2,6-dichlorophenyl)por-phyrinmanganese species was heterogenized in thepresence of TEOS to give 12 a ,b (Schem e 10).111 Theseimmobilized complexes catalyzed the epoxidation of cyclooctene, using PhIO as oxidant (eq 10). In gen-eral, the reactions were complete after 24 h withyields of cyclooctene oxide bet ween 69 a nd 96% (Table5). It is obvious that the catalytic activity of 12 a ,b isb e t t e r t h a n t h a t o f   11 a-c . No leaching of the met-a l lop or p h y r in fr om t h e s t a t i on a r y p h a s e w a s ob -served during the reaction.

From (3-amin opropyl)tr iethyoxysilane an d meso-tetrakis(pen-tafluorophenyl)porphyrin t he monomer was formed.Subsequent hydrolysis and polycondensation in abiphasic CH 2Cl 2 /H 2O s ys t e m i n t h e p r e se n ce of acatalyst (HF or 1-methylimidazole) afforded 13 a ,b ,whereas 14 a a n d 14 b were produced by hydrolysisand co-condensation of modified porphyrin withTEOS in EtOH. The content of porphyrin in 13 a ,bwas higher th an in 14 a ,b . However, 13a ,b exhibitedlower specific sur face ar eas (30-1 0 5 m 2 g-1) t h a n14 a ,b (>6 90 m 2 g-1). Al l o f t h e m ca t a l yz ed t h eepoxidation of cyclooctene in high yields (>90%) aswell as th e hydr oxylation of cyclohexan e an d h eptan ewith PhIO with yields of ∼50% (eq 10; Ta ble 6). Thehybrid p olymers 14 a ,b promoted a lso the epoxidation

of cyclooctene with t -BuOOH in a yield between 45and 64%. Interestingly, the corresponding homoge-n e ou s ca t a lys t w a s d ea ct iva t e d u n d er t h e s a m ereaction condition. Some pr eliminar y results werealso described in the oxidation of an adamantane/  cyclohexane mixture (1:1) with PhIO. It was foundthat the adamantane/cyclohexane oxidation productr a t i o w a s m u ch h i gh e r for 14 a ,b t h a n for 13 a ,b ,which is tr aced back t o the difference in the specificsur face area . Hydr oxylation of cyclohexan e, which isless reactive an d bulky, was th us favored in t he caseof  13a ,b , where the metal center is less accessible.Similar results were achieved for the oxidation of acyclododecane/cyclohexane mixture (1:1). Catalysts

14 a ,b led to cyclododecanol/cyclohexanol ratios of ∼

2,whereas 13a ,b gave a ratio of 1.

Iam amoto et al. prepa red t he ironporphyrinosilica15 a-c 110 a n d 16a-c 111 according to Scheme 10 andcompared their properties with those of the corre-sponding manganese porphyrins (vide supra, Scheme10). The porphyrins 15a-c proved to be more activet h a n 11 a-c in the epoxidation of ( Z )-cycloocten e withPhIO as oxidant (eq 10; Table 5). The best perfor-mance was obtained by 15 a in which pyridine wasused as a template and t he yield was similar to thatof the homogeneous iron porphyrin. In particular,15 b ,c led to a lower product yield, caused by thereduction of iron(III) to iron(II) during the catalyst

preparation. The properties of  16 a-c were similarto those of   12 a ,b , and the catalytic epoxidation of  cyclooctene was possible using PhIO as oxidant (eq10). After a reaction time of 24 h, 16a ,c gave yieldsof 100% (Table 5). In contrast to surface-supportediron porphyr ins,115 no leaching in 15 a-c a n d 16 a-cwas observed during the reaction, which was con-firmed by UV-vis spectroscopy and further epoxi-dation tests of the filtered reaction mixture. Unfor-tu na tely, no recycling of th e catalysts wa s men tioned.

Multinuclear CP/MAS solid-stateNMR spectroscopy gave insight into the stereochem-istry of the metal complexes, the integrity of thespacer, th e polymer ba ckbone, an d th e mobility of th ereactive centers. In addition, extended X-ray absorp-tion fine structure (EXAFS), X-ray diffraction (XRD),

These materials were used in the hy-drogena tion of  n -butyraldehyde (eq 12; Table 8).Catalysts with a higher a mount of Q-silyl speciescould be well separated from t he reaction mediumbut suffered from a lower activity due to the non-flexibility of the matrices and occlusion of the com-plexes. Those with lower Q-type silicons and a small

However, the chemoselectivitiesdecreased a nd considerable am oun ts of the h ydroge-nat ion pr oduct n -butyl alcohol was formed. The betteractivities of  19b compared to 19 a at elevated tem-peratures are traced back to the stronger polarity of 19 b . Both materials 19a ,b could be recovered fromthe reaction mixture by simple centrifugation, and

after being washed with acetone and n -hexane, theyrevealed the same catalytic activities in the secondr u n .

Fu rt her poly(alum osiloxane)-boun d rut henium (II)complexes were made accessible by sol-gel pr ocess-ing of the trimethoxysilyl-functionalized ruthenium-(II) complexes cis-Cl(H)Ru(CO)(P∼O)3 [P∼O ) P h P -(CH 2CH 2OC H 3)(CH 2)n Si(OMe)3, n ) 3, 6, 8] with t hedifferent co-condensation agents TEOS, MTMS,DMOS, a nd aluminu m-2-propanolate [Al(OiP r )3](Schem e 14).132 All materials 20 a-i proved to be

successful as hydrogenation catalysts for 2-butenal(eq 11; Table 7). Catalysts 20 a , 20d , a n d 20 g dis-played conversions in t he ra nge of 35-38%, and theselectivities in the formation of unsaturated alcoholscompared to saturated aldehydes were approximately2.5:1.

chemoselectivities toward th e h ydrogenat ion of car-bonyl double bonds (20 c : 2-butenol/ n -butanol ) 6:1).Dynamic solid-state NMR investigations indicatedtha t t he mobility of the rea ctive centers is determinedby the length of the spacers and not by the type of  th e co-condensa tion a gent . Complete recycling of th ecatalysts from the reaction mixture by simple cen-trifugation after a catalytic run and a re-employmentwith constant activity after washing with acetone andn -hexane was demonstra ted.

Several (ether-phosphine)ruthenium(II) complexesof th e type cis-Cl(H)Ru(CO)(P∼O)3 [P∼O ) PhP(CH 2-CH 2OC H 3)(CH 2)nSi(OMe)3, n ) 3 , 6 , 8 ] w e r e co-condensed with TEOS, MTMS, and DMOS, respec-

hardly any catalytic activity at the applied reactionconditions. Increasing the spacer length from n -propyl to n -hexyl or n -octyl a fforded conver sions from15 t o 21% (see Table 7). The more flexible cat alysts21 g-i displayed even a higher activity and selectivity

with conversions between 44 and 51%. In the case of corresponding homogeneous cata lysts, the overallconversion wa s less a nd th e selectivities were poorer .An importan t point is the fact th at the activities of  sol-gel-immobilized r ut henium complexes can beadjusted by the properties of the carrier m atrix an dthe spacer. Enh an ced mobility increased th e activityand selectivity of  21 g-i . It was also concluded thatthe diffusion of the substrate into the matr ix is notthe rat e-determining st ep. Moreover, th ese cat alystscould be easily recovered from th e r eaction mixtureby precipitat ion of t he highly swollen gels withn -hexane followed by simple fi ltrat ion.

Independent of the prepar at ion conditions,the employment of methylphosphine 22c ,d resultedin higher activities, as compared to the phenylphos-phine congeners 22 a ,b (Table 9). For 22 c ,d a maxi-mum turnover number (TON) of 110800 correspond-i n g t o a T O F o f 1 8 6 0 h-1 at 100% selectivity wasatta ined under specific conditions (see Table 9).Leaching of active species from the catalysts couldbe neglected, because the filtrate exhibited no cata-lytic activity in subsequent activity t ests. Moreover,using the same catalyst for three consecutive experi-ments resulted in a marked increase of activity for

the second run, and i t remained stable in the thirdexperiment. The stabilizing effect of sol-gel-pro-cessed h omogeneous complexes was su pported by t helong-lastin g a ctivity of 22 a-d . However, no data for

turn over numbers were presented in th e literatu re.134

Fresh and used hydridometal catalysts, which werereinstalled for catalytic testing after storage underair for one year, showed no loss of activity. This is incontra st t o the findings with homogeneous ana logues,with which the reaction mixtures rapidly changedtheir color or precipitated, indicating decomposition.

In addition, the effects of reaction variables on the

Be-tween 100 and 300 min-1, th e kind of stirring doesnot influence the turn over frequency, indicating anegligible influence of externa l mass t ra nsport on thereaction rate under standa rd reaction conditions.W it h r e s pe ct t o t h e e ffe ct of d im e t h yl a m in e , t h e

reaction rate appeared to be of first order at lowerconcentr ation a nd of zero order at higher concentra -tion. The carbon dioxide partial pressure seemed tobe negligible in th e ra nge investigated. Kinetic dataindicated an approximately 0.6th order with regardto the dependence of the ra te on th e hydrogen par tialpressu re. An a ctivat ion en ergy of 69.8 ( 2.4 kJ mol-1

E. Cobalt, Rhodium, and Iridium Complexes

1. Cobalt Complexes 

An attractive topic is the nondestructive immobi-lization of cobalt Schiff base complexes (Scheme20).143 As an example, in a first step a cobalt (salen)compound was obtained by reaction of cobalt acetatewith a solut ion of aminopropyltrieth oxysilane andsalicylaldehyde. Then the silyl-modified salen com-plex was poly-co-condensed with TEOS to give 26 .Using cobalt (salen) as starting material in the sol-gel process n ot only avoided t he reverse Schiff basereaction but also accelerated the gelation rate due

to autocatalysis. The polysiloxane 26 was chara cter-ized by FT-IR, UV-vis, and XPS spectroscopy, lasera b la t ion I CP -M S, E P R , B E T, a n d T GA s t u die s.Oxidation of eth ylbenzene t o acetophenone (eq 15a;Table 11) by 26 was carr ied out in DMSO or DMF a t130 °C under an oxygen atmosphere in the presenceof pyridine and potassium tert -butoxide. After 72 h,

th e convers ion a chieved a value of 99.9%. Dur ing th ecatalytic reaction the rate of conversion decreased,which was attributed to a competitive adsorption of the reactants and products at the active sites. Ethyl-benzene oxidation could be conducted without anysolvent un der oxygen. Removal of water produceddur ing th e rea ction was necessary. Leaching of cobaltanalyzed with ICP-AES in th e fil trate amounted t o<0.1 wt %.

In another investigation i t was highlighted thatimmobilized cobalt (III) complexes a ct a s oxidat ioncatalysts (Scheme 21).144 Cyanoethylsilica was formed

Immobilized 27 was applied in t heaerial oxidation of neat ethylbenezene, chlorotoluen e,and toluene (eq 15a-c). After 22 h , 76% of eth ylben-

zene was oxidized with a selectivity to acetophenoneof 94% (Table 11). The rate of oxidation was almostlinear up to 70% conversion. U nder the same condi-tions 25% of pure 4-chlorobenzoic acid was isolated.Toluene was also oxidized to benzoic acid at 100 °Cin t he presence of 1% benzaldehyde a s a promoter,but th e yield was only 6% after 22 h . No leaching of cobalt took place in the above-mentioned reactionsas detected by atomic absorption spectroscopy. How-ever, pyridine was completely lost during the reac-tion, which resu lted in a failur e of repeat ed use. Upontreatment of the recovered catalyst with pyridine, the

cata lytic activity r eturned to close to i ts originalvalue.

Cobalt phthalocyanine complexes can also be an-chored to titanium dioxide (Scheme 22). 14 5 Cobalt-(II) tetrasulfonylphthalocyanine and cobalt(II) tetra-(chlorosulfonyl)phtha locyan ine were co-condensedwith titanium alkoxides upon sol-gel procedures toform 28 a-c a n d 29 a-d . S u lfi de a n d e t h a n e t h iolliquid-phase oxidations using the above-mentionedcatalysts were investigated in the presence of oxygen(eq 16; Table 12). In the oxidation of Na 2S, the mainproduct was elemental su lfur together with smallquantities of thiosulfate. Remarkably, the catalyticactivity did not change dur ing repeated u se. Catalyst

28 a was t he m ost active for sodium sulfide oxidation,the rate of th e conversion was 35.3 mol(S2-)/mol-(catalyst)‚min. In the oxidation of ethanethiol 28 a

a n d 29d showed the h ighest activities. They were a llstable in the reaction media, and no leaching of theactive component was established by checking t heactivity of the filtrate.

2. Rhodium Complexes 

Rhodium complexes incorporated into interphasesystems can be arranged according to T-silyl-modifiedphosphorus, cyclopentadienyl, nitrogen, sulfur, andoxygen ligands.

a. Phosphorus Ligands. Brzezinska et al. describedthe application of polymeric siloxyphosphine rhodiumcomplexes as cata lysts for the hydrogenat ion of  olefins, in particular, styrene. Hydrolysis of rhodium

complexes with the phosphines Cl3Si(CH 2)nP P h 2 (n) 2, 8) either with trichloromethylsilane or in thepresence of excess ligands afforded 30 a-c (Scheme23).146 The authors noticed that these materials wereeffective in the hydrogenation of olefins, but someactivity got lost on recycling (eq 17; Table 13).147

Polymer 30 c lost half of its activity after five cyclesand wa s the best candidate. The aut hors noticed tha tthe per formance and the activity were always higherfor catalysts conta ining a longer spacer, which isconsistent with the interphase concept.

A remarkable part of their work is devoted to theentrapment of catalytically active complexes intoplain SiO2 sol-gel mat rices. Cat alysts 32a ,b wereobtained by poly-co-condensat ion of TEOS with[(EtO)3SiCH 2CH 2P P h 2]4Rh 2(CO)2( µ-pz)2 an d [(Et O)3-

Fa vora bly the selectivity toward cis-stilbene was high(usually 98%), as long as the conversion of tolan didnot exceed 95%. When the cata lyst was recoveredfrom the reaction mixture and used again, hydroge-nation was observed with identical selectivity andonly slightly sm aller conversions. This finding de-

pends m ar kedly on the am oun t of th e co-condensationagent and on the polarity of the solvent. Raising therat io of th e co-condensat ion agent MeSi(OMe)2-(CH 2)6(MeO)2SiMe from 2:1 (catalyst 34 a ) t o 8 : 1(catalyst 34b ) l e d t o a n i n cr e a s e o f t h e t u r n o ve rfrequency (see Table 14). It can be seen that turnovernumbers and frequencies rise with increasing solventpolarity. The lower concentration of reactive centersin 34 a ,b prevented a dimerization of the catalysts,which resulted in a higher a ctivity compar ed to th eirmonomeric congener. To study leaching effects, thereaction solutions of four consecutive hydrogenationrun s were separ ated from th e polymer, concentrat ed,and subjected to catalysis. No hydrogenation of tolan

took place. To further check the accessibility of thereactive cent ers, r eactions of 34 a in solid/gaseous andsolid/liquid int erph ases with sma ll molecules such asCO, CH 2dCH 2, CS 2, a n d H 2  /pyridine were also in-vestigat ed. All reactions proceeded qua ntita tively,showing that the coordination centers were readily

accessible for the mentioned substrates, which is avaluable precondition for catalysis.15 5

To achieve recyclable catalysts in the hydroformy-l a t ion of ol efi n s , t h e p r e pa r a t i on of t h e s ol-gel-processed rhodium complexes 35a-c was described(Scheme 28).156 The bifun ctiona l co-condensa tionagent (MeO)3Si(CH 2)6Si(OMe)3 and a carbonylhydri-do(trisphosphine)rhodium complex with T-silyl-func-tionalized diphenyl phosphine l igands containingthree- or six-membered hydrocarbon spacers wereemployed as starting materials.

D u e t olonger spacers, 35 c was expected to exhibit a highermobility and thus an improved selectivity. However,t h e n / n + is o rat io and t urn over frequencies obtainedwith 35 c were inferior to those observed with 35 b(see Table 15). The behavior was attributed to the

lower actual concentr ation (millimoles of P pervolume unit of swollen catalyst bead) of phosphinefun ctions in 35 c (constan t P/Rh) in the swollenpolymer. Olefins higher tha n 1-hexene were a lsohydroformylated with 35 c , a n d s im ila r t u r n ove rfrequencies an d selectivities wer e obtained. 31P C P /  MAS and (1H , 31P) wide-line separ at ion (WISE) NMRspectr oscopic investigations gave an insight int o thedynamic behavior and mobility of these materials.

Supported 37 a showed anoverall selectivity for l inear aldehydes of 94.6%(linear t o bra nched aldehyde ra tio of 65, whereas t ha tfor 37 b is only 2.4). The authors attributed the high

selectivity of 37 a to its larger P-Rh-P bite an gel of 108° compar ed t o 93° for 37 b . Recycling capabilitiesof 37 a ,b were uncovered from a series of consecutiveruns. Selectivities remained high, and no leachingw a s fou n d b y r h od iu m e le m en t a l a n a l ys is of t h eproduct.

From detailedstudies it was evaluat ed th at 1-nonanol, obtained viathe hydrogenat ion of the corresponding aldehyde,was formed as a n u nexpected byproduct (3.6% at 20%conversion). Under sta nda rd hydroformylation condi-tions, 37 a and its hydrido species HRh(A)(CO)2

coexisted on the support. This dual system acted as

a hydroformylation/hydrogenat ion sequence cata lyst,giving selectively 1-nonanol from 1-octene; ulti-mately, 98% of 1-octene was converted to mainly1-nonana l and 97% of the nonan al was hydrogenatedto 1-nonanol (eq 22b).

If the atmosphere was

Recently, Tiripicchio a nchored rh odium(I) com-plexes to thiourea-functionalized xerogels and sils-esquioxanes a nd st udied th e mat rix effects dependen ton the selectivity in the hydroformylation of st y-rene.171 Catalysts 45 a-f  were prepa red a ccording toScheme 37 and contain (EtO)3Si(CH 2)3NCS, (EtO)3Si-

Optimizations of reaction conditionsfor the access to 47 were based on pH effects, themolar rat io of titanium/phosphorus, titan ium precur-sors, a nd solvents.

F. Palladium and Platinum Complexes

1. Palladium Complexes 

An area of intense research has been oriented tosupported palladium cata lysts for cross-couplingreactions, which repr esent excellent m ethods for t hesynthesis of various organic molecules.128,175-181 Clark 

et a l. developed a ra nge of heterogeneous palladiumcatalysts based on chemically modified mesoporoussilica gel, which was either commercially availableor prepared via sol-gel technology. The hybrid pal-ladium catalyst 49 was prepar ed by rea ction of sol-gel-processed aminopropyl-modified micelle-templat-ed silica (3-aminopropyl-MTS) with pyridinecarbalde-hyde, followed by complexation with palladium ac-etate (Scheme 41).182 To ensure stabili ty in subse-

In the first 6 h theconversion rate was ∼4% h-1 after a n inductionperiod of  ∼1 h . S u pp os ed ly t h e d ecr e a se of t h eactivity after 6 h to 2% h-1 is due to the congestionof the gel pores by the products. By decanting theliquid from the reactor the active polymer 49 could

Only after five ad-ditional runs (corresponding to a turn over num berof >2000) was a significan t dr op in activity observed.T h e r e w a s n o i n du ct i on p e r iod on r e p ea t e d u s e .Analysis by atomic absorption spectroscopy cor-roborated that no detectable amounts of palladiuml ea ch e d d u r i n g t h e r e a ct i on .

that the transition metal species did not dissociatefr om t h e s u p p or t d u r i n g t h e r e a ct i on . T h e s a m epolymer 49 was also successful in th e H eck r eactionof aryl iodides with allylic alcohols to give carbonylcompounds (see Table 20). Repeated use of  49 oc-cur red without noticeable loss of activity.

In the Suzuki C-C coupling between phenylboronicacid and bromobenzene in xylene in the presence of potassium carbonate a s a base catalyst 49 was alsoreported to give excellent results concerning theactivity and recycling ability (eq 31b; Table 20). 183

High yields of biaryls were obtained at 95 °C. Stablepalladium complex 49 was also effective for substi-tut ed br omobenzenes (see Table 20).

With th e aim t o mimic th e sur face of silica but withproperties that are more readily controlled than thoseof silica, heter ogenized homogeneous palladium(II)complexes on polysiloxanes with controlled solubilityha ve been pr epared a nd char acterized (Scheme 42).184

Both species 50 a ,b wereregioselective in t he case of asymmet ric alkynes su chas 2-hexyne and phenylacetylene. Regarding catalystrecycling, 50 a a n d 50 b were tested for the cyclotri-merization of 4-octyne. Both of them exhibited goodstability with a 4-octyne conversion of 99% in sixcycles.

2. Platinum Complexes 

Due to economic considerations, the recovery of platinum catalysts is a bsolutely indispensable.188-190

the solid polymer. Subsequent treatment with H 2-P t C l6 or Na 2P t C l4 resulted in the formation of   52 aa n d 52b . E ffects of the substr ates, solvents, concen-trat ions, and temperatur e on the catalytic O-silyla-tion of R3Si-H compounds were studied in detail (eq34). Regarding the substrate, two factors affect thereactivity: (i) the st eric factor in th e sequence n PrOH> iP r O H > t BuOH and (ii) the electronic factor withregar d t o th e n ucleophilicity of alcohols; for exam ple,

ethanol is less reactive than propanol. The reactionrate is slowed when polar solvents are used and isfaster at higher temperature. Furthermore, catalystsu s e d a t h i gh e r t e m p er a t u r e s w er e l es s a ct i ve onrecovery than samples used at lower temperaturesdue to decomposition. 52 a s h ow ed a r e m a r k a b lecatalytic activity, whereas 52 b was inactive. Withrespect to recovery and repeated u se, 52 a partiallyretained i ts activity after three different runs, andthe catalytic activity was highly reproducible withinthe same batch.

IV. Enzymes as Reactive Centers 

The immobilization of biological catalysts (e.g.,enzymes, cata lytic antibodies, and whole cells) inrobust matrices to enhance their lifetime as well astheir recovery and repeated use have been the focusof att ention for several years. 192,193 From economicaland ecological points of view, such catalysts areimport ant if they can be separa ted from t he rea ctionproducts and used again without significant loss of activity. A common approach is the encapsulation of ca t a ly t ic s p ecie s in s id e s ili ca v ia t h e s ol-ge lprocess.19 4-19 6 Although this is on the borderline of the concept of chemistr y in int erpha ses, some int er-esting examples are summar ized in this section. In1995, Reetz et al . demonstrated the entrapment of  

lipases into t he hydrophobic sol-gel mat erials, whichresulted in interphase catalysts with long-term sta-bili ty as well as pronounced degrees of enhancedactivity in esterificat ions an d t ra nsester ificat ions inorganic solvents.197 The catalysts were prepared viaa base-promoted hydrolysis of tr ialkoxysilanes RSi-(OMe)3 (R ) alkyl) or mixtur es of these or others il a n es w it h T MO S i n t h e p r e se n ce of a l ip a s e.Relative activities of 500-800% in esterificationr e a ct ion s w it h r e sp ect t o t h e t r a d it ion a l u s e of  corresponding enzyme powders in organic solventswere achieved. The aut hors foun d th at incorporat inghydrophobic alkyl groups in the silicon oxide matrixmarkedly improved the activity. Recently, they re-

ported also on the entr apment of certain lipases suchas SP 625 (Candida antactia B) or S P 523 ( Humicolalanuginosa) in sol-gel mat erials.194 The preparationm e t h od s a r e t h e s a m e a s t h o se a b ov e-m e n t ion e d .D iffe r e n t a l k ox ys i la n e s s u ch a s T M OS , M TM S ,n -C3H 7Si(OMe)3 (PTMS), HO[Me2SiO]nSiMe2OH(PDMS), or mixtures of them were chosen as sol-gel precursors. As a test reaction the hydrolysis of the propionic acid 4-nitrophenyl est er was selected.Relative enzyme activities of 93, 107, an d 110% forthe entrapped lipase in PDMS/TMOS (1:3), PDMS/ (MTMS (1:3), and PTMS/TMOS (5:1), respectively,were found. This means that enzyme activities inhomogeneous and heterogeneous systems are actu-

ally compara ble. In optimal cases, it was possible torecycle th e catalysts with l it t le or no decrease inenzyme activity. The catalysts with hydrophobic alkylgroups also showed higher activities.

Several difficulties emerge in the synthesis of sol-gel-encapsulat ed biological cat alysts. The resultingalcohol from the hydrolysis of SiOR functions oftenirreversibly decomposes the catalyst. Its activity isalso reduced by a reaction between silica precursors

and the active centers. In addition, shrinkage of thegel upon drying leads to localized pressure a nd areduction in enzyme activity and poor diffusionchara cteristics. Investigations of Gill an d Ba llester oshave highlighted a general approach to this prob-lem.198 An import an t key to th eir success was t o moveaway from stan dar d silica pr ecur sors su ch a s TMOSand TEOS, since both of th em eliminate alcoholsdecomposing the catalysts. Glycerol, which was liber-a t e d d u r in g t h e p r ep a r a t ion of t h e m a t e r ia ls , isbiocompatible and helps the gel to dry in a controlledfashion, leading t o stable matr ices for the enzyme.For a range of enzymes and whole cells (yeast, R .miehei, a n d P. oleovorans were all successfully en-

capsulated) th e a ctivity of the en capsulat ed catalystsis between 83 and 98% of the native material . Theamounts of biomaterial (20-30 wt %) encapsulatedi s m u c h h i gh e r t h a n w it h t r a d i t ion a l m e t h od s . Astriking example of the importance of the glycerol-based route over the traditional method is given bythe hydrolysis of the nerve a gent diethyl 4-nitrophe-nyl phosphat e by a ph osphata se enzyme. A hydrolysisof >95% was achieved under continuous conditionsover a period of 700 h, compared to 35-40% withconventional materials. Under the same conditionspolyurethane-encapsulated materials, initially veryactive, ha d lost ∼30% of th eir original a ctivity.

V. Summary and Outlook Chemistry in int erpha ses offers a versatile method

t o com b in e t h e a d va n t a g e s of h om og en e ou s a n dheter ogeneous catalysis. As such it ha s opened a widearea of heterogenized catalysts. By careful designhomogeneous cata lysts can be tr ansferred to inter-phase systems. In the case of highly swellable orporous polymeric materials a solution-like state isi m i t a t e d i n w h i c h t h e r e a c t i v e c e n t e r s a r e n e a r l yhomogeneously distributed across the entire polymerand ther efore are similarly a ccessible as in h omoge-neous phase.55 The polymeric part of the stationarypha se consists mainly of flexible polysiloxan es, bu t

oxides of alum inum, as well as polyalumosiloxanes,titan ium, an d phosphorus, were also introduced intothe framework.55,131,132,141,145,173 As a consequence of these favorable circumstan ces the activity of suchhybrid catalysts is markedly improved. Furthermore,they can be separated from the reaction products andreused with a considera ble reduction of the commondrawbacks. On the basis of these latest scientificfindings this review presents a survey of the prepa-rat ions a nd a pplications of new interph ase catalysts,w it h a n e m p h a s is on t h e ir r e cy cl a bi li t y. I t w a shighlighted th at the r eactive centers may r ange fromfunctional organic groups t o t ransition metal com-plexes an d also enzymes. Hybrid polymers, which ar e

provided with metal complexes as reactive centers,constitute the dominant part of this paper. Metalse n com p a s s t i t a n iu m , ch r o m iu m , m a n g a n e se , a n dm os t of t h e g r ou p 8 m e t a ls . A s p eci a l a p p e a l of  interphase catalysts is that they are able to promoteseveral kinds of reactions, such as specific hydrogena-tions,99,125,130-133,155,165-167,173 oxidations,69,87,110,111,121,143-145

hydroformylations,155-158,170,171 coupling rea ctions,182,183

an d O-silylations. 191 As has been demonstrated hy-

brid catalysts may be m ore efficient and displaybetter performances than their homogeneous coun-t e r p a r t s .133,137,158 Furthermore, embedding a highlyactive center into a polymer network often improvedits stabili ty and resulted in better handling.69,134,135

This not only enha nces the safety but also offersbetter storage possibilities over a longer period of t i m e, w h ich m a k e s t h e m a t t r a c t iv e f or i n du s t r i a lapplications.

An evaluation of Tables 1-2 0 r e ve a ls t h a t t h ecomparison of t he performan ce of th e catalysts isexceedingly difficult. The large variety of catalysts,the different preparation methods, and the diverselevels of char acterization of the hybrid polymers

complicate the extraction of common factors affectingthe catalytic activity. Furthermore, the complexityof the reaction system is increased as the influenceof the support is not well understood. As an example,th e BET sur face area an d th e pore size volume (Table21) ar e generally accepted par am eters t o cha ra cterizeth e su pport of immobilized catalysts; for example, th ecatalytic activity is enhanced the higher the surfaceand the larger the pore size volume are. In contra stto t his, if th e amount of organic building blocks isincreased in the so-gel-processed m at erials, in somecases th e BET su rface ar ea is st rongly reduced an dh a r d l y a n y p o r e s i z e i s g e n e r a t e d a s l o n g a s t h ematerial is dry. However, in an appropriate solventthe swelling ability of th is organ ic/inorganic hybridpolymer is improved, which can lead to an extremelygood performa nce of the cat alyst.15 5 Some rules arebecoming obvious as to how the catalytic performanceis related to chemistry in interphases. The length of the spacer, the density of the reactive centers, andthe a mount a nd k ind of copolymer a s well as t he waythe sol-gel process is performed have an impact onthe activity a nd selectivity of the active site. U nfor-tunately, each parameter has to be optimized for awant ed catalytic system. In genera l, compar ed to th ehomogeneous congeners the fixed catalysts in sta-tionary phases display lower reaction rates (TOF).

T h is i s m o r e t h a n com p e n s a t ed b y m u c h l on g erl ife t im e s of t h e a ct i ve s it e (T ON ), a s h a s b ee ndemonstrated in many cases.

Although some salient aspects of interphase cata-lysts have already been developed, it is apparent thata great number of opportun ities, challenges, an dapplications are to be expected. Thus, the fact t hatthere are examples of sol-gel-processed active cen-ters which promote reactions while their homoge-neous counterparts are inactive implies that there
