We introduce the synthesis and in-depth characterization of platinum(II)-crosslinked single-chain nanoparticles (Pt -SCNPs) to demonstrate their application as a recyclable homogeneous catalyst. Specifically, a linear precursor copolymer of styrene and 4-(diphenylphosphino)styrene was synthesized via nitroxide-mediated polymerization. The triarylphosphine ligand moieties along the backbone allowed for the intramolecular crosslinking of single chains via the addition of [Pt(1,5-cyclooctadiene)Cl ] in dilute solution. The successful formation of well-defined Pt -SCNPs was evidenced by size exclusion chromatography, dynamic light scattering, nuclear magnetic resonance ( H, P{ H}, Pt), and diffusion-ordered spectroscopy. Finally, the activity of the Pt -SCNPs as homogeneous, yet recyclable catalyst was successfully demonstrated using the example of the amination of allyl alcohol.
