Tuning the Adsorption and Fluorescence Properties of Aminal-Linked Porous Organic Polymers through N-Heterocyclic Group Decoration
Aiming at tuning the adsorption and fluorescence properties of targeted porous organic polymer, four new aminal-linked porous organic polymers (NAPOPs) were synthesized through the reaction of 1,4-Bis(4,6-diamino-s-triazin-2-yl)benzene (BATB) with four kinds of aldehydes substituted with different N-heterocyclic groups. Among the polymers, NAPOP-3 decorated with 5-phenyl-tetrazole group shows the largest CO2 adsorption capacity (2.52 mmol g(-1) at 273 K and 100 kPa) because of its relative large surface area, while NAPOP-1 decorated with piperazine groups shows relative large CO2/N-2 adsorption selectivity (77 at 273 K and 100 kPa), attributable to its large CO2 adsorption heats and cabined pore (<4 angstrom). Meanwhile, NAPOP-1 and -3 exhibit high adsorption rate toward iodine with a high capacity (>240 wt %). In addition, different luminescence emissions were also observed for NAPOPs, indicating different intramolecular charger transfer occurred inside polymer networks. (C) 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
