Single-chain polymer nanoparticles (SCNPs) with catalytically-active pendants are utilized for their ability to improve organic reactions under mild conditions. While organic catalysts are beneficial for their minimization of toxic waste, metal-based photoredox catalysts are often more potent in organic reactions. Herein, we discuss the synthesis and characterization of metal-based SCNPs, and their use as confined catalysts in organic reactions. These results will be compared to the results of similar experiments performed with similar small-molecule catalysts or entirely organic polymers.
