Graphical Abstract
Polymerized N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are employed to covalently anchor Au and Ag atoms, resulting in bimetallic random copolymers, as reported by Ali Nazemi et al. in their Research Article (e202409800). When these polymers are used as substrates and undergo reduction, they produce polyNHC-capped alloy and core–shell AuAg bimetallic nanoparticles, whose structures are influenced by the proportion of each metal in the metallopolymer. These nanomaterials have been shown to be effective in electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction.
