This project will explore the use of polymers decorated with functional monomers as catalysts for small molecule transformations. More specifically, the project will develop copolymers of inexpensive vinyl monomers with either Lewis acids or Lewis bases. Significant steric bulk on the functional monomers enforces an inability of the Lewis acid and base to react together, creating latent reactivity like in a frustrated Lewis pair. This unique system will then serve as a recyclable main group catalyst for a number of catalytic transformations and bond activations. The work will involve monomer synthesis, polymer synthesis, catalytic reactivity studies, and extensive polymer characterization.

该项目将探索使用功能单体修饰的聚合物作为小分子转化的催化剂。更具体地说，该项目将开发廉价的乙烯基单体与刘易斯酸或刘易斯碱的共聚物。官能单体上的显著空间体积使刘易斯酸和碱不能一起反应，产生潜在的反应性，如在受挫的刘易斯对中。这种独特的系统将作为一个可回收的主族催化剂，用于许多催化转化和键活化。这项工作将涉及单体合成，聚合物合成，催化反应性研究，和广泛的聚合物表征。
