Porous coordination/covalent hybridized polymers synthesized from pyridine–zinc coordination compound and their CO2 capture ability, fluorescence and selective response properties

Abstract

Currently, porous polymers are mainly synthesized by linking coordination or organic covalent bonds. In this study, we propose the synthesis of a porous coordination/covalent hybridized polymer from di(4-vinylpyridine)-dichloro-zinc (ZnVP₂) by “coordination-polymerization” method. The resulting porous polymer demonstrated CO₂ capture ability and multi-responsive properties.
