Abstract:
Porous organic polymers have recently received great attention because of their promising applications in the removal of thiophene compounds in liquid fuels and for the nuclear waste (such as radioactive iodine isotopes) treatments. Herein, a series of conjugated mesoporous hyper-cross-linked polymers (CMHPs) were prepared through our newly developed silicon-promoted cationic polymerization in a straightforward manner. The CMHPs exhibited extended π-conjugation, intrinsic porosity, high surface area, and excellent physicochemical stability. They showed an outstanding dibenzothiophene uptake capacity of ∼1335 mg g-1, which far exceeded many reported porous organic polymers. Meanwhile, these CMHPs showed high adsorption capacity for iodine vapor. Altogether, the CMHPs prepared by the facile and metal-free cationic reactions have great potential in adsorption of harmful substances and environmental protection.

Structure of Conjugated Dienes
Conjugated dienes are compounds characterized by the presence of alternating double and single bonds. In a conjugated system like 1,3-butadiene, the unhybridized 2p orbital on each carbon overlaps continuously, allowing the π electrons to be delocalized across the entire molecule. In contrast, this type of overlap does not occur in cumulated and isolated dienes, such as 2,3-pentadiene and 1,4-pentadiene, respectively. Instead, the π electrons remain localized between the double...
Stability of Conjugated Dienes
A comparison of the enthalpies of hydrogenation of dienes reveals that conjugated dienes release less heat on hydrogenation, rendering them more stable than their nonconjugated analogs.
