Sulfonated hyper-cross-linked polymers based on 4,4'-bis(chloromethyl)-1,1'-biphenyl (BCMBP) were synthesized via metal-free (SHCP-1) and conventional Lewis acid-catalyzed (SHCP-2) Friedel-Crafts alkylation routes. The sulfonated possessed BET surface areas in excess of 500 m2·g-1. SHCP-1 was investigated for its ability to extract Sr Cs ions from aqueous solutions the ion-exchange reaction sulfonic acid moiety. Equilibrium uptake data could be accurately modeled by Dubinin-Radushkevich...
The first metallated hypercrosslinked polymers have been synthesised, characterised and found to remarkable capacity for uptake of fluoride ions.
Functionalized hypercrosslinked polymers (HCPs) with surface areas between 213 and 1124 m2/g based on a range of monomers containing different chemical moieties were evaluated for CO2 capture using pressure swing adsorption (PSA) methodology under humid conditions elevated temperatures. The networks demonstrated rapid uptake reaching maximum uptakes in 60 s. most promising demonstrating the best selectivity highest applied to setup simulated flue gas streams. carbazole, triphenylmethanol...

A rhodium carbonylation catalyst is supported on dispersible microporous polymer nanoparticles, facilitating in situ kinetic measurements for a key step of the catalytic cycle.
A porous molecular crystal (TSCl) was found to crystallise from dichloromethane and water during the synthesis of tetrakis(4-sulfophenylmethane). Crystal structure prediction (CSP) rationalises driving force behind formation this TSCl phase intermolecular interactions that direct its formation. Gas sorption analysis showed is permanently with selective adsorption CO2 over N2, H2 CH4 a maximum uptake 74 cm3 g-1 at 195 K. Calculations revealed assembles via combination weak hydrogen bonds...
Most covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are synthesized using solvothermal conditions (>120 °C, >72 h) in harmful solvents. We report a strategy for rapidly synthesizing imine-linked COFs (< 60 min) aqueous acetic acid sonochemistry, avoiding most of the downsides methods. first seven known this method and obtained crystallinity porosity comparable to or better than materials from previously reported routes. This sonochemical even works highly sustainable solvents, such as...
Abstract A dispersible porous polymer (PEG 113 ‐ b ‐DVB 800 co ‐AA 200 ) based on the controlled radical polymerization of divinylbenzene and acrylic acid with a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) macrochain transfer agent (macro‐CTA) is synthesized postsynthetically modified anthracene. This blue‐emitting used to encapsulate yellow‐emitting fluorophore rhodamine B into its core, resulting in white‐light emitting dispersion quantum yield 38% commission internationale de l’éclairage coordinates ( X...
