abstract
Examples where soluble polymers have been used in homogeneous catalysis were first noted 50 years ago, but this role for soluble polymers remained relatively unexplored until the 1990s. Since then, the use of new polymers, new developments in polymer synthesis, new separation strategies, and the imaginative ways soluble polymers' structure and physical properties can be used to influence a covalent or ligated catalyst have led to increasing interest in soluble polymers as tools in catalysis.
