Acknowledgments
The majority of this work was funded by the National Science
Foundation (CHE-0717213). T. R. R. is grateful to the UCA STEM
grant for summer-stipend support. The UCA College of Natural
Sciences and Mathematics provided funding for the purchase
of the microwave synthesizer. We are grateful to Prof. R. Tarkka
and P. Cook (UCA Chemistry) for their early work on microwave
synthesis of scorpionates that provided impetus for this work.
We thank Prof. L. Yang (UCA Chemistry) for supplying the cop-
per(I) salt starting materials used in this work. We also thank
Prof. J. Telser for helpful comments on the copper EPR work.

details progress in polymer-supported mainstream metal chelates in-
cluding phosphines, salens, porphyrins, and metallocenes. The omission
of scorpionates from this review is significant. Progress during the recent
intervening decade will change this.
