The immobilization of organo- and metalcatalysts on dendrimers and nanoparticles towards the development of sustainable chemical processes is proposed in this collaborative project. The groups involved are investigating a number of different catalytic processes that form the basis of the joint efforts envisaged here. The focus of this collaborative project is on evaluating supports with globular structures [dendrimers, nanoparticles] to arrive at catalysts that can be employed in continuous setups using nanofiltration techniques. Applying these techniques catalytic transformations aiming at the conversion of furans, i.e. renewable resources, to arenes and coupling reactions of arenes will be investigated. Moreover the use of safe arylating agents (triarylbismuths), and green Lewis acids (Rare Earth triflates) will be investigated in reactions of industrial interest.
