Support materials play a significant role in heterogeneous nanocatalysis. In this work, β -cyclodextrin ( β -CD) was used directly as a monomer to construct polymer networks for gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) immobilization. Using the simple nucleophilic substitution reaction, β -CD based polymer netwo...
