Chemistry in interphases. The solid-phase synthesis of well defined rhodium and iridium phosphine complexes†

Abstract

After polyethylene glycol functionalized metal complexes were supported by the sol–gel technique the organometallic protection group was eliminated in a combined photochemical/oxidative procedure and the immobilized non-coordinated ligand was treated with organometallic fragments to give new supported well defined rhodium and iridium complexes.
