Abstract
As molecular complexes of definite structure, catalytically active metal derivatives are in principle more easily reproducible in their properties than a heterogeous metal catalyst. Moreover, by variation in the metal of the complex and the co-ordinating ligands some systematic variation is possible in their reactivity and selectivity as catalysts. Despite these merits, however, a soluble catalyst complex may present problems in relation to recovery of the hydrogenation products and of the catalyst itself. Reference to Chapter XI where examples of the use of homogeneous catalysts are described shows that in laboratory work the product and soluble catalyst have frequently been separated by chromatography, whereas similar reactions effected using a heterogeneous catalyst call only for separation by filtration.
