Heterogeneous C-C coupling and polymerization catalysts prepared by ROMP.

This contribution summarizes the latest developments in the area of catalytic supports prepared via ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). In particular, the synthesis of heterogeneous catalytic systems active in Pd-mediated C-C coupling reactions such as Heck, Sonogashira-Hagihara and Suzuki couplings, as well as in ruthenium-mediated olefin metathesis reactions will be summarized. The general concept for the synthesis of these supports will be outlined in detailed.
