Abstract:
Development of a new preparative procedure for hyperbranched polystyrene having Cl end groups (HPS-Cl) enables to prepare HPS-NR(3)(+)Cl(-), for which the hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity is tunable by the R groups. The resulting ammonium salts behave as a good support of platinum nanoparticles, which is useful for catalytic biphasic hydrogenation of alkenes.
