  • Preparation of heterogeneous catalysts including the steps of radiation grafting of an alpha unsaturated monomer to a metal or to an organic polymer
    Patent number: 4179401
    Abstract: A process for heterogenizing a metal salt or organometallic complex catalyst of the type containing a group VIII metal comprising the steps of radiation grafting a monomer having a .alpha. unsaturated bond to a metal or an organic polymer and complexing a nitrogen, halogen or phosphorous containing group to the monomer with the metal salt or organometallic complex. The resultant catalysts being useful in the hydrogenation, hydroformylation, isomerization, cracking or dehydrogenation of organic molecules.
