Abstract
The design and synthesis of metal-free heterogeneous catalysts for
efficient hydrogenation remains a great challenge. Here we report a
novel approach to create conjugated nanoporous polymers with
efficient hydrogenation activities toward unsaturated ketones by
leveraging the innate steric encumbrance. The steric bulk of the
framework as well as the local sterics of the Lewis basic sites within
the polymeric skeleton result in the generation of the putative
catalyst. This approach opens up new possibilities for the development
of innovative metal-free heterogeneous catalysts.
