Preparation of a microporous organic polymer by the thiol–yne addition reaction and formation of Au nanoparticles inside the polymer†
Abstract
A microporous polymer with sulfide and thiol groups was synthesized using the thiol–yne reaction. Au nanoparticles were prepared by in situ reduction reaction inside the polymer and were found to be well dispersed. The Au-containing polymer showed catalytic activity in the reduction of 4-nitrophenol.
