Radical polymerization reaction of carborane monomer closo-1-R-2-(4-vinylbenzyl)-1,2-C2B10H10 (R = Me (1), Ph (2)) produced carboranyl-functionalized polystyrenes, poly(1-R-2-(4-vinylbenzyl)-1,2-closo-C2B10H10) (R = Me (3), Ph (4)), in a yield of 56.3% and 85.0%, respectively. The polymers 3 and 4 were used to coat graphene oxides (GO) and the resulting products exhibited high oxidation resistance property when compared with pristine GO. Polymer 3 was also used to stabilize palladium nanoparticles (Pd-NPs) to form catalyst composite Pd-NPs/3. Composite Pd-NPs/3 was found to be efficient catalyst for selective oxidation of glycerol. All new compounds were fully characterized.
