Abstract

Membrane separation technology is successfully applied for the immobilization of a homogeneous catalyst (a (1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-perfluoroalkyl)-dimethylsilyl-substituted derivative of Wilkinson's catalyst) in a continuous process that uses supercritical carbon dioxide as solvent. The catalyst is separated from the products by a microporous silica membrane (see scheme).
