Mimicking enzymatic systems: modulation of the performance of polymeric organocatalysts by ion-specific effects

Abstract

Like natural enzymatic systems, our study has demonstrated that the activity of the polymeric organocatalysts can be modulated by ion-specific effects via the combination of anion-specific salting-in/out effects and anion-specific polarization of hydrogen bonding induced stabilization of the transition state.
