Cooperative catalysis enables synthetic transformations that are not feasible using monocatalytic systems. Such reactions are often diffusion controlled and require multiple catalyst interactions at high dilution. We have developed a confined triarylpyrylium-based dual-catalytic single-chain polymer nanoreactor (SCNP) that enforces catalyst co-localization, leading to enhanced reactivity within a confined polymer system. Herein, we will discuss our homogeneous polymer-based system, which features rate acceleration in cooperative photoredox catalysis, ascribed to more efficient single-electron transfer. Our approach deviates from conventional methods, and tackles diffusion-limited cooperative catalysis, while enabling enhanced reactivity under single-chain polymer confinement.
