The catalyst is soluble in one of the reagents and remains soluble when
the other reagent is added. As the reaction goes on, and the product
builds up, the catalyst precipitates from the mixture as oil. This oil
liquid clathrateremains to be an active catalyst, as the reagents are
able to penetrate into it. When all the reagents are converted into
products, the oily catalyst turns into a sticky solid, which can be easily
separated and recycled.
