Abstract
In this chapter we shall be concerned with the introduction of the catalytically active metal site on to the support. Whilst the first supported catalysts involved ion-exchange resins in which a cationic metal complex ion was linked electrostatically to the support, the majority of supported metal complex catalysts involve covalent bonds between the metal and the support. Accordingly, after a brief look at ion-exchange based catalysts, this chapter will consider the coordination of metal complexes by functionalised supports, then the polymerisation of functionalised monomers, before examining the reactions between organometallic and metal-carbonyl complexes with metal oxide supports. The chapter concludes with a brief consideration of supported Ziegler-Natta catalysts, surface supported metal salts and finally complexes formed by transition metal oxides with main Group metal oxides.
