Abstract
Chemical conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) to value-added useful chemicals like cyclic carbonates represents one potential solution to climate warming. Here, a kind of porous organic polymer (HAT-TP) with large surface area and excellent carbon dioxide uptake capacity is prepared via a condensation reaction to introduce hexaazatriphenylene (HAT) units into triptycene (TP)-based microporous polymer. HAT-TP can coordinate with zinc ions, and the resulting polymer (Zn/HAT-TP) can be utilized as an efficient recyclable catalyst for chemical conversion of CO2 into cyclic carbonates with epoxides.
