They have succeeded in the synthesis of a mesoporous solid support for direct fixation of metal complex catalysts on the pore surface, which enabled easy recovery and recycle uses of homogeneous catalysts preserving the high activity. This result is expected, and greatly contribute to reduce the manufacturing cost of medicines and prevent the contamination of medicines with metals of catalyst.
