Title: Chemically Controllable Porous Polymer–Nanocrystal Composites with Hierarchical Arrangement Show Substrate Transport Selectivity

Abstract

Functional organic–inorganic hybrid materials with tunable properties are useful across many application areas, ranging from gas storage to electronics, flame retardants, separations, and catalysis. Combining polymers, with a suite of functional groups and conformational flexibility, and inorganic nanoparticles, with tunable surface chemistry and composition, yields hybrids with novel functional properties. Specifically, in catalysis, control of the electronic environment at a metal interface is paramount in determining the catalytic properties. In this contribution, we describe a modular process to prepare porous polymer–nanocrystal (NC) composites in a hierarchical, multilayered synthesis, in which multiple parameters can be accurately tuned: polymer functional groups and the corresponding pore structure, the polymer layer thickness, and the NC size, shape, and composition. This process provides for a variety of controlled materials with high surface area, tunable chemistry, and thermal and chemical stabilities. Furthermore, we demonstrate their utility for shape- and size-selective catalytic conversions both in oxidation and hydrogenation reactions, where they show increased selectivity by orders of magnitude compared to conventional polymer-supported metal catalysts. In light of the high degree of control in the composite structure, this method allows for the design and realization of catalysts for several reactions and reaction environments and for nanomaterials with othermore » applications.« less
