Abstract

A series of polyphosphazene nano-frameworks with electron-withdrawing capability have been produced and exhibited high activity as non-acidic heterogeneous catalysts for the dehydration of fructose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural under mild conditions with good stability and recyclability. The unique cyclotriphosphazene unit and electron-withdrawing nature of the polymer backbone are essential for the catalytic performance.
