In situ formation of well-dispersed palladium nanoparticles immobilized in imidazolium-based organic ionic polymers†
Abstract
A new strategy for in situ generation of well-dispersed palladium nanoparticles (NPs) immobilized in imidazolium-based organic ionic polymers was presented. Without extra addition of palladium species, the as-synthesized ionic polymers showed excellent catalytic activity and good reusability in the hydrogenation of nitroarenes.
