Patent ID: 8501032

Claim:
An immobilized composition comprising a structure selected from a group consisting of a formula as set forth in Formula 1, 2, and 2b structures: wherein independently: R 1 is CH 3 CN, or a halide, a hydride, a carboxylate, a sulfonate, or any neutral or anionic ligand; R 2 is CH 3 CN, or a halide, a hydride, a carboxylate, a sulfonate, or any neutral or anionic ligand, or R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , and R 4 can each separately and independently be a hydrogen, CH(CH 3 ) 2 , C(CH 3 ) 2 , or any alkyl or aryl group, including heteroaryl, or any other substituent, and L is CH 3 CN, halide, hydride, carboxylate, sulfonate, or any neutral or anionic ligand, X is an anion, and optionally a halide, a hydride, a carboxylate or a sulfonate, m is a cation having an appropriate balance of charge for anion X when the overall charge of the complex is zero, p is C 5 H 5 or a C 5 H 5 substituted with an alkyl or an aryl group or groups or a heteroaryl, or Cp is an indenyl or benzene, or an indenyl or benzene substituted with an alkyl or an aryl group or groups, or an heteroaryl, or a Tp (tris-pyrazolylborate) or a Tp substituted with an alkyl or an aryl group or groups, or a heteroaryl, and the composition is immobilized.
