Abstract
The chemical fixation of carbon dioxide to afford value added chemicals under solvent free and ambient conditions has gained considerable attentions. In this work, we successfully synthesized the porphyrin-based porous organic framework (PPOPs) through Schiff base reaction using 5,10,15,20-tetra(4-aminbiphenyl) porphyrin (TAPP) and 4,4′-biphenyldicarbaldehyde (BDA) as starting materials, which was then coordinated with cobalt to yield related metal complex (Co-PPOPs). The chemical structure and morphology of Co-PPOPs were characterized by absorption spectrum, FT-IR, X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and nitrogen physisorption. Co-PPOPs showed excellent catalytic activity towards the conversion of carbon dioxide to cyclic carbonates under ambient conditions. Furthermore, Co-PPOPs was recovered easily and could be used repeatedly (more than five times) without losing any catalytic activity. Thus, the as-prepared Co-PPOPs was a promising heterogeneous catalyst for carbon dioxide conversion, providing high turnover number than the previously reported catalysts.
