In this NJC Letter, Janet Blümel and colleagues discuss the design of a linker scaffold that prevents the immobilized Rh catalyst from being deactivated by dimerization or contact with the support surface. Using a multipoint attachment approach, the authors show how the catalyst can be recycled for a record 30 times.
