Hypercross-Linked Porous Ionic Polymers Based on Hydrogen-Bond Donors for CO2 Conversion Under Mild Conditions
摘要
The novel hypercross-linked porous ionic polymers combine the advantages of ionic liquids, hydrogen-bond donors and hypercross-linked polymers. In this regard, imidazolium-based ionic liquids with different hydrogen-bond donors (hydroxyl and carboxyl groups) were grafted on hypercross-linked polymers by taking advantage of the easier functionalization of ionic liquids. With the introduction of ionic liquids, the CO2 adsorption capacity of HCP-CH2IL-COOH was increased to 13.86 wt % (273 K, 1 bar). The catalytic performance of HCP-CH2IL-OH and HCP-CH2IL-COOH with containing hydrogen-bond donors was found better than that of HCP-CH2IL-Et without hydrogen-bond donor. In addition, HCP-CH2IL-OH showed the highest CO2 conversion efficiency after 48 h with a high yield (up to 94%) at room temperature and pressure due to high specific surface area, high CO2 adsorption capacity and the catalytic activity of ionic liquid, which achieved efficient CO2 conversion by metal-free catalytic system under mild conditions. The TON and TOF values were found to be up to 292 and 6 h−1, and the efficiency was comparable to that of the current metal-free heterogeneous catalytic systems. In addition, the catalyst can efficiently convert different terminal epoxides and show good universality. More interestingly, the catalytic activity of this catalyst was retained after five cycles, which endorse its recycling stability.
