Thermoresponsive self-assembled cyclodextrin-end-decorated PNIPAM for aqueous catalysis†
Abstract
The catalytic performance of thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) functionalized at the terminal position with randomly methylated β-cyclodextrin was demonstrated by the aqueous Rh-catalysed hydroformylation of higher olefins.
