Abstract: Some basic polymers, such as poly-4-vinylpyridine and poly-2-vinylpyridine, were adsorbed on the surface of silica gel with the aid of the weak acidity of silica. The supported polymers were then complexed with PdCl2 and reduced with NaBH4, the title catalysts were synthesized. The structures of the catalysts were characterized by XPS, UV/Vis, scanning and transmission electron microscope etc. The influence of preparation conditions and composition of the catalysts on the catalytic activity, stability and life period was examined. The catalysts synthesized possess a high catalytic activity for the hydrogenation of methylacrylate.
