We have introduced a Friedel-Crafts alkylation strategy of Ni-salphen complex as derived from 2-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzaldehyde, an isomer biomass vanillin, to construct based porous organic polymer (Ni@T-POP). The X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) analysis revealed the existence Ni-N2O2 core sites in Ni@T-POP framework, which demonstrates unprecedented catalytic efficiency towards oxidative decontamination sulfur mustards (HD's) compared its precursor.
