Replication Data for: A Hard Templating Approach to Functional Mesoporous Poly(norborn-2-ene)-Based Monolithic Supports

Further experimental for reproduction of experiments can be found in the Supporting Information. We report on the first ROMP-derived, poly(norborn-2-ene)-based monolithic supports with such tailored mesoporosity using a SiO2 nanowire (SNW) based hard templating approach that stongly differs form other hard templating approaches in that it provides access to defined mesopores.

The resulting macroporous/mesoporous polymeric monoliths have a tailored mesoporosity in the 10–15 nm regime, transport pores in the micrometer range and allow for high linear flow rates (>2 mm s−1) at low back pressure (<6 bar). Together with the functional (OH) groups present, which can be used for catalyst immobilization, this morphological control over the meso- and macroporous structure offers access for use as catalytic microreactors.
