Abstract

We report a modular approach in which a noncovalently cross-linked single chain nanoparticle (SCNP) selectively binds catalyst "cofactors"and substrates to increase both the catalytic activity of a Cu-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition reaction and the Ru-catalyzed cleavage of allylcarbamate groups compared to the free catalysts.
