Cluster-containing polymers are obtained in two ways: by immobilization of cluster compounds on macroligands, or by copolymerization reactions of cluster-containing monomers (Rh[6](CO)[15](4-CH[2]=CH-C[6]H[4]N), Rh[6](CO)[14](m,h2-PPh[2]CH[2]CH=CH[2]) and (m-H)Os[3](m-OCNM[2])(CO)[9]PPH[2]CH[2]CH=CH[2]) with traditional vinyl monomers. It was found that Rh[6]- and Os[3]-containing monomers did not change either the ligand surroundings or the structure of cluster monomer framework during polymerization reaction. The molecular weight parameters of the obtained copolymers were studied. The catalytic properties of polymer-immobilized Rh[6]- and Os[3] clusters obtained were studied in varied reactions. Rh[6]-containing polymers showed a high catalytic activity in hydrogenation of cyclohexene, they can be used repeatedly without deactivation. Carbonylation of methanol in protonic medium proceeded effectively in the presence of Os[3] copolymer with styrene and resulted in formation of formic acid and trifluoroacetate. These polymer clusters were also efficient in hydrogenation of styrene under supercritical CO[2]. The catalytic hydroxylation of olefins by organic hydroperoxides in the presence of osmium-containing polymers were studied. It was shown that reaction proceeded with preferred formation of unsaturated alcohols. Oxidative dimerisation of olefins into nonconjugated dienes were also observed. The influence of nature of ligands and polymer matrix as well as a specific content of metal on catalytic activity and composition of products formed are discussed.
