“…In our previous work, 3V-PPh 3 polyhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.molcata.2015.05.008 1381-1169/© 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. mer (POL-PPh 3 ), possessing high thermal stability, high BET surface area and hierarchical porosity, was synthesized through solvothermal polymerization of vinyl-functionalized PPh 3 (3V-PPh 3 ), and supported Rh/POL-PPh 3 catalyst has been developed for hydroformylation of 1-octene with excellent performance [25]. However, the chemical nature and structure property of the Rh/POL-PPh 3 catalyst have not been understood profoundly, owing to characterizing amorphous non-soluble POPs immobilized metal species catalysts is definitely the greatest challenge in POP-based catalysis nowadays [23,24].…”
