Catalysis with Soluble Complexes in Gas-Liquid-Liquid Systems
Catalysis with soluble complexes in biphasic media has made a major impact in applications of homogeneous catalysts due to easy separation of catalysts from products. In this paper an overview of important developments in gas-liquid-liquid catalytic reactions has been presented. The types of biphasic catalysts, their distinguishing features, industrial applications and reaction engineering aspects have been discussed.
