Selective generation of multi-metallic sites on substrates and associated products
First Claim
1. A method of incorporating metals on a substrate, comprising the steps of:
- a) reacting a pretarget metal complex with an active group on a substrate to form a target metal species, said target metal species capable of reacting with a secondary metal complex in an oxidation-reduction reaction; and
b) reacting the secondary metal complex with the target metal species in an oxidation-reduction reaction to form a multi-metallic compound on the substrate.

Abstract
A method for forming multi-metallic sites on a substrate is disclosed and described. A substrate including active groups such as hydroxyl can be reacted with a pretarget metal complex. The target metal attached to the active group can then be reacted with a secondary metal complex such that an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction occurs to form a multi-metallic species. The substrate can be a highly porous material such as aerogels, xerogels, zeolites, and similar materials. Additional metal complexes can be reacted to increase catalyst loading or control co-catalyst content. The resulting compounds can be oxidized to form oxides or reduced to form metals in the ground state which are suitable for practical use.
