New network polymers with high surface areas (900-1000 m2g-1) were synthesized. This was achieved using a dibenzodioxane forming reaction between a porphyrin and a bis(catechol) monomer.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Polymer Chemistry
  • Organic Chemistry

Background:

  • Porous organic polymers are crucial for applications in gas storage and catalysis.
  • Developing efficient synthetic routes to high-surface-area polymers remains a key challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize novel network polymers with exceptionally large surface areas.
  • To explore the utility of a highly efficient dibenzodioxane forming reaction for polymer synthesis.

Main Methods:

  • The synthesis involved a dibenzodioxane forming reaction.
  • Reactants included meso-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin and a rigid bis(catechol) monomer.

Main Results:

  • Network polymers with surface areas ranging from 900 to 1000 m2g-1 were successfully prepared.
