Combining the Benefits of Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Catalysis with Tunable Solvents and Nearcritical Water

The greatest advantage of heterogeneous catalysis is the ease of separation, while the disadvantages are often limited activity and selectivity.  We report solvents that use tunable phase behavior to achieve homogeneous catalysis with ease of separation.  Tunable solvents are homogeneous mixtures of...
