“Clickable” thiol-functionalized nanoporous polymers: from their synthesis to further adsorption of gold nanoparticles and subsequent use as efficient catalytic supports

Abstract

Thiol-coated nanoporous materials are engineered from polystyrene-<italic>block</italic>-poly(<sc>d</sc>,<sc>l</sc>-lactide) precursors having a disulfide junction. Further adsorption of GNPs on pore surface provides novel supported catalysts.
