“…In the last years a great effort has been made to prepare heterogeneous catalysts [7][8][9][10][11] which overcome these problems. Different supports having osmium salts in different loadings (osmium/support ratio), such as polymers (0.25-5 mol%) [12][13][14][15], silica (0.25 mol%) [16], cinchona modified silica gel (1 mol%) [17][18][19], hydrotalcites (8.5 mol%) [20,21], dendrimers (0.25-1 mol%) [22,23], polysiloxane (1 mol%) [24], imigolite (0.25 mol%) [25] fullerenes (3.8 mol %) [26], magnetically recoverable quaternary ammonium salts (2 mol%) [27], or zeolites (0.6 mol%) [28] have been reported for this purpose, as well as other strategies including microencapsulation (5 mol%) [29][30][31], ionexchange technique (0.5-2.5 mol%) [32][33][34][35], and the use of poly(ethylene glycol) (0.5 mol%) [36] or ionic liquids (0.5-2 mol%) [37,38].…”
