Structure and Redox Activity of Copper Sites Isolated in a Nanoporous P4VP Polymeric Matrix

摘要

In the recent years,metal-containing polymers have become very attractive owing to their possible applications as catalysts for organic synthesis.Several examples can be found of functionalized microporous polystyrenes(PSs)characterized by very low surface areas,whereby the reactive sites are accessible to the reactants only upon swelling by the solvent.Swelling usually does not occur for gaseous species and this property usually prevents the use of polymer-based catalysts for gas-phase synthesis.
