In chemistry, homogeneous catalysis is catalysis where the catalyst is in same phase as reactants, principally by a soluble catalyst in a solution. In contrast, heterogeneous catalysis describes processes where the catalysts and substrate are in distinct phases, typically solid and gas, respectively. [ 1 ]

Tetramethyldivinyldisiloxane is a colorless liquid that is employed as a ligand in organometallic chemistry and also as a homogeneous catalyst. [1] The ligand is a component of Karstedt's catalyst. It was first prepared by hydrolysis of vinyldimethylmethoxysilane, (CH 2 =CH)Me 2 SiOMe. [2]
Ziegler–Natta catalysts of the third class, non-metallocene catalysts, use a variety of complexes of various metals, ranging from scandium to lanthanoid and actinoid metals, and a large variety of ligands containing oxygen (O 2), nitrogen (N 2), phosphorus (P), and sulfur (S). The complexes are activated using MAO, as is done for metallocene ...
Many examples of homogeneous catalysis involving organometallic complexes involve shuttling of complexes between 16 and 18 electron configurations. 16-electron complexes often form adducts with Lewis bases and, if low-valent, undergo oxidative addition. CH 3 I + cis-[Rh(CO) 2 I 2] − → [(CH 3)Rh(CO) 2 I 3] −
Catalysts are usually classified into two broad classes: homogeneous and heterogeneous. Homogeneous catalysts dissolve in the solvent that contains the unsaturated substrate. Heterogeneous catalysts are solids that are suspended in the same solvent with the substrate or are treated with gaseous substrate.
In homogeneous catalysis, MACHO catalysts are metal complexes containing MACHO ligands, which are of the type HN(CH 2 CH 2 PR 2) 2, where R is typically phenyl or isopropyl. Complexes with ruthenium(II) and iridium(III) have received much attention for their ability to hydrogenate polar bonds such as those in esters and even carbon dioxide . [ 1 ]
In polymer chemistry, ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) is a type of chain-growth polymerization involving olefin metathesis. [1] The reaction is driven by relieving ring strain in cyclic olefins. [2] A variety of heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts have been developed for different polymers and mechanisms. [3]
