Abstract
The activity of new catalysts based on poly(p-xylylene) films containing co pper nanoparticles in the reaction CCl4 + C10H22 = CHCl3 + C10H21Cl was stu died. It was shown that the specific activity of nanocatalysts increases sh arply with the copper concentration and reaches the maximum value near the percolation threshold. The obtained catalysts exhibited the largest activit y and an extremely high selectivity among the known catalysts for the metat hesis of the C-Cl bond. The high catalytic activity of the nanocatalysts wa s explained by the mutual charging of the clusters in the polymer matrix.
