New element organic frameworks viaSuzuki coupling with high adsorption capacity for hydrophobic molecules

Abstract

We present new highly microporous element organic frameworks synthesized by the Pd catalyzed Suzuki coupling reaction. They show specific surface areas of up to 1380 m2 g−1 with a strong hydrophobic character. Thus, they are interesting for the adsorption of non-polar substances. By variation of the organic linkers, the modular concept of the materials in analogy to the metal–organic frameworks is demonstrated. The polymeric materials have thermal stability up to 573 K and show no decomposition in aqueous environment, allowing excellent handling and processing. They are accessible by a basic synthetic approach, and by their chemical and thermal stabilities they may provide adequate properties for applications in many fields, especially in adsorptive separation processes and storage of non-polar gases.
