Structural Modulation in Viologen-Based Ionic Porous Organic Polymers for Catalytic Non-Redox CO₂ Fixation

Part of Topic

Sustainable Planet (SDGs 2, 11, 13, 14 and 15)

The rational design of metal-free, porous, and heterogeneous catalysts with large specific surface areas for efficient CO2 capture and utilization has remained a significant challenge. In this study, two structurally distinct viologen-based novel ionic porous organic polymers (iPOPs) featuring a triazine core are developed, employing different polymerization methods to modulate their porosity and catalytic properties. The alkyne-linked SC-iPOP, synthesized through Sonogashira polycondensation, exhibits high porosity (specific BET surface area: 616 ± 9 m2 g−1) over BHC-iPOP with secondary amine linkages fabricated by Buchwald-Hartwig polymerization. SC-iPOP demonstrates superior catalytic efficiency in the metal-free cycloaddition of CO2 with epoxides to form cyclic organic carbonates under atmospheric pressure and solvent-free conditions, with excellent recyclability. This enhanced catalytic performance, compared to BHC-iPOP, is attributed to the high porosity of SC-iPOP and the presence of abundant CO2-philic ionic active sites. The current study emphasizes the role of structural modifications in designing efficient porous catalysts for metal-free CO2 fixation.
