Abstract
Chromium carbene complexes have been immobilized in a silica matrix by sol-gel processing based on the polycondensation of (trialkoxy)silylethylphosphane ligands and tetraalkoxysilanes. The microstructure of the material obtained depends on the gelation conditions. In situ gelation of alkoxy- or aminocarbene complexes with tetramethoxysilane (TMOS) affords mesoporous materials with a homogeneous distribution of the metal complex. The metal carbene moiety is accessible for small substrates as demonstrated for the aminolysis of the incorporated methoxy(phenyl)carbene complex which slows down with increasing bulk of the amine.
