Super combo: Superhydrophobic and porous solid bases are synthesized by co-polymerization of divinylbenzene (DVB) and 1-vinylimidazolate (VI). The materials show higher activities towards the transesterification of tripalmitin with methanol than conventional bases and VI mono-/polymer. Their performance is attributed to the synergy of superhydrophobicity combined with active VI sites. These catalysts also remain very active upon recycling.
