Abstract
A new polymer has been shown to be an effective hydrogenation catalyst: specifically, the polymer that results from copolymerization (through γ‐ irradiation) of the isocyanide complex 1 with dimethylacrylamide in the presence of N,N′‐methylenebisacrylamide. The PdII centers are initially pre‐hydrogenated to Pd0, after which the catalyst becomes stable, especially with respect to the loss of metallic centers. equation image
