Abstract
The concept of immobilising organometallic complexes in a thin film of supported ionic liquids was utilised to synthesise novel bi-functional catalysts combining soft Lewis acidic and strong Brønsted acidic functions; the materials showed exceptional catalytic activity for the addition of aniline to styrene, providing the Markownikoff product under kinetically controlled conditions and mainly the anti-Markownikoff product in the thermodynamic regime.
