Mesoporous polymer particles (MPPs) have been synthesized by using the spherical microparticles of siliceous mesocellular foam (MCF) as a hard template. The MPPs possessed a robust structure with ultralarge mesopores, and a clean and inert surface. The surface properties of the MPPs could be tailored for various applications by using different functionalized monomers. An imidazolium‐pyrrolidine ligand was successfully immobilized onto MPPs and used as a supported platinum organometallic catalyst in olefin hydrosilylation. The MPP‐supported catalyst provided superior activity and selectivity for this reaction as compared to the MCF‐supported catalyst.
