Luminescent BODIPY-based Porous Organic Polymer for CO2 Adsorption

Luminescent porous materials have shown various applications such as electronic devices, gas adsorption, energy materials and photocatalysis. Consequently, we designed and prepared a new type borondipyrromethene (BODIPY) based porous organic polymer (POP) by using Sonogashira coupling reaction. This POP-1 exhibits high thermal stability with moderate surface area. In addition, POP-1 is highly emissive in a solid state. Due to enrichment of different kinds of heteroatoms in the skeleton of the porous polymer, POP-1 selectively captures carbon dioxide (CO2) with relative high adsorption selectivity of CO2/N2.
