N-Heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed ketone/imine hydrosilylation, silane alcohol condensation and asymmetric ketone hydrosilylation reactions were demonstrated for the first time over solid, main-chain poly-NHC particles. The stable and robust poly-NHC particles were easily recovered, and exhibited good catalytic recyclability. A novel chiral induction protocol with a cheap and easily accessible secondary alcohol as the chiral source was also developed in this catalytic system.

Novel mesoscopic organic nanosheets were developed by functionalizing bulk 2D organic covalent framework polymers with small molecules. The water-soluble fluorescent nanosheets are promising as nanocarriers for biological applications.
