Abstract
The conducting and redox properties of polyaniline coupled with its easy preparative protocol from inexpensive starting materials, high environmental stability, and easy acid doping/base dedoping has prompted its use as a support to hold metal complexes securely during catalytic reactions. Synthesis of polyaniline-supported palladium, indium, and iron catalysts, their characterization and use in coupling, addition and acylation reactions have been reviewed in this article
