Weak interactions between substrates and the active site environment have been known to be vital in enzyme catalysis. Inspired by this, the authors synthesize hyper-crosslinked porous polymer-based catalysts with different H-bonds to enhance adsorption and modify the interfacial sites and reactivity.
