Abstract

This paper explores the synthesis of hyper-crosslinked porous polymers (HCPs) with controlled -OH or -CH3 groups to tune the environment of active sites for selective hydrogenation. The HCP-OH catalysts enhanced hydrogenation of carbonyl groups, while HCP-CH3 promoted non-H bond substrate activation. This highlights the functional groups' role in substrate adsorption and catalytic site tuning, enabling selectivity control in multifunctional substrate hydrogenation.
