Selective CO2 capture and versatile dye adsorption using a microporous polymer with triptycene and 1,2,3-triazole motifs

摘要

Polymerization of 2,6,14-triethynyltriptycene and 1,3,5-tris(azidomethyl)-2,4,6-trimethylbenzene to yield a new microporous organic material (TTMP) is described. TTMP is thermally stable polymer with a high surface area, rendering it suitable to act as an adsorbent for gases such as CO2 and H-2 as well as for organic small molecule adsorbates such as toxic organic dyes present in effluents discharged from textile industry. TTMP has the potential as a material with applications in the domain of gas storage/separation and water pollution control.
