Abstract

Porous organic polymers (POPs) are chemically and thermally robust materials and have been often investigated for their gas sorption properties. From the related field of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) it is known that open ligation sites at metal centers can enhance the performance of gas sorption significantly, especially the selectivity toward one gas of a binary mixture, such as CO2/N2 or CO2/CH4. POPs that contain metal centers are rarer. One possibility to introduce metals into POPs is by the synthesis of metal-assisted salphen organic frameworks (MaSOFs), where the framework development is associated with the formation of the metal–salphen pockets. Based on a hexakissalicylaldehyde, a variety of three-dimensional isostructural porous MaSOFs with different metal ions (Zn2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Pd2+, and Pt2+) are introduced. All compounds show a very similar pore structure and comparable specific surface areas, which make these MaSOFs ideal candidates to study the influence of the nature of the incorporate...
