Abstract The polymer framework of a resin‐based catalyst built up with Pd nanoclusters (ca. 3 nm) dispersed inside the nanoporous domains of a thermally stable gel‐type polyacrylic resin exhibits a good chemical stability under 5 bar H 2 at 40 °C for reasonable contact times. Chemical and physico‐chemical integrity of the polymer framework are checked with a variety of instrumental analytical methods. Catalyst reusability turns out to be quite good.
