Polymer supported Materials

Polymers are macromolecules, composed of repeating units of monomer units. Polymers have emerged as solid supports for reagents, scavengers, and catalysts to aid in the purification of solution phase libraries. Polymer-supported reagents and catalysts are used because of their easy recovery after completion of the reaction. A polymer-supported Pd complex catalyst is a solid-phase catalyst, which consists of the amphiphilic copolymer ligands, chloride and palladium. It takes up substrates and reagents of both a hydrophilic and hydrophobic nature in the vicinity of the palladium surface to smoothly promote the reaction. These polymer-supported palladium catalysts are insoluble both in water and organic solvent; hence they can be recovered easily and reused many times.
