Hollow porous organic capsules (HPOCs) with an entrapped active catalyst have nanosized cavities, providing the benefits of a nanoreactor, as well as separation of the catalysts from the reaction medium via pores acting as a size-exclusion gate. Such purpose-built HPOCs with desired molecular weight cutoffs offer the advantages of semipermeable membrane separation and a sustainable chemical process that excludes energy-extensive separation. Here, we report a newly synthesized HPOC with an entrapped Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 as the catalyst for demonstrating a Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction as a proof of concept.
