A polyester was prepared by condensing 1,3,5-benzenetricarbonyl trichloride with phloroglucinol using two different solvents. Techniques used for characterization include FTIR, XRD, TGA, BET surface area and pore size analysis, FESEM and CO2 adsorption measurements. The highest CO2 uptake of 5.16cm3/g (0.23 mmol/g) at 273 K and 1 bar was achieved by polyester synthesized in DMAc, indicating its superior performance than the polyester prepared using 1,4-dioxane due to the more porous nature and better surface area. Such types of thermally stable polyesters are expected to be the good candidates for CO2 adsorption in harsh environmental conditions.
