Enhancing stability by trapping palladium inside N-heterocyclic carbene-functionalized hypercrosslinked polymers for heterogeneous C-C bond formations

Abstract

Catalyst deactivation caused by the aggregation of active metal species poses great challenges for supported metal catalyzed solid-liquid reactions. Here, the authors develop a hypercrosslinked polymer integrated with N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) as bifunctional support to stabilize palladium in heterogeneous C-C bond formations.
