Novel 3-(perfluoroalkanoyl)-(1R)-camphorate nickel complexes immobilized to poly(dimethylsiloxane) phases are presented. Immobilized 3-(perfluoroalkanoyl)-(1R)-camphorate nickel complexes with a trifluoromethyl (CF(3); nickel(II)-bis[(1R,4S)-3-trifluoromethanoyl-10-propylenoxycamphor]-polysiloxane Ni(tfpc)(2)@PS) and a heptafluoropropyl-substituent (C(3)F(7); nickel(II)-bis[(1R,4S)-3-heptafluorobutanoyl-10-propylenoxycamphor]-polysiloxane Ni(hfpc)(2)@PS) were synthesized, characterized and immobilized to polysiloxane. Ni(hfpc)(2)@PS was immobilized with a selector content
