Notes:
Polymeric catalysts can typically be considered as being a polymeric carrier, to which a catalytically active species - well known in homogeneous catalysis - has been attached in an appropriate fashion. This heterogenization of homogeneous catalysis is of increasing importance due to certain advantages with respect to the ecology of industrial chemical processes. It is the intention of this contribution to discuss two approaches thus illustrating the general statement more specifically. Approach one is the application of ion exchange resins, generally in their protonated form, to perform acid catalyzed reactions in a solid matrix. Approach two is the immobilization of whole, living microbial cells to be applied in heterogeneous biocatalysis.
