Project description
 

The aim of this research project is to develop novel types of ligand-containing polymer structures as a macromolecular support of a (copper)catalyst and to apply them for various metal-catalyzed reactions (e.g. ATRP polymerization). The synthesis of these novel macromolecular ligands will be "click" chemistry. Three types that will be investigated are: ligand-polymers, ligand-polymer beads and ligand-cryogels.
