Abstract:
A novel ferrocene-linked organic-inorganic hybrid porous polymer has been successfully prepared by Friedel-Crafts reaction of octavinylsilsesquioxane and ferrocene. The relationship of structure/property was investigated by FTIR, NMR, XRD, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) etc. The obtained porous polymer exhibited a high surface area of 1015 m2 g-1 and a hierarchical pore structure. It could be applied to wastewater treatment with the absorption capacity of up to 1683 mg g-1 for Congo red (CR), 1083 mg g-1 for crystal violet (CV), 1003 mg g-1 for rhodamine B (RB), 441 mg g-1 for methylene blue (MB), 191 mg g-1 for Hg2+ , and 328 mg g-1 for Pb2+ . Remarkably, it could be easily regenerated and the removal efficiency remains almost constant even after six cycles.

Ions as Acids and Bases
Salts are ionic compounds composed of cations and anions, either of which may be capable of undergoing an acid or base ionization reaction with water. Aqueous salt solutions, therefore, may be acidic, basic, or neutral, depending on the relative acid-base strengths of the salt’s constituent ions. For example, dissolving the ammonium chloride in water results in its dissociation, as described by the equation:
Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
