Abstract: Anew method for preparing polystyrylviologen resins was reported in this paper.The polystyrylviologen resins were obtained by the reactions of chloromethylated polystyrenewith 4,4'-bipyridine,then with benzyl chloride.The obtained resins were used as electron-transfer catalysts in the reduction of 2-chloronitrobenzene.Experimental results showed thatthe resins with viologen moieties have abilities to mediate the reduction of 2-chloroni-trobenzene at room temperature,affording 2-chloroaniline,and the structure of the resinscan also affect their electron-transfer catalytic activities. The resins can be reused.

Key words: Polystyrylviologen resin, Electron-transfer catalyst, Reduction, 2-Chloroni-trobenzene
