Abstract

A 3D Tröger's-base-derived microporous organic polymer with a high surface area and good thermal stability was facilely synthesized from a one-pot metal-free polymerization reaction between dimethoxymethane and triaminotriptycene. The obtained material displays excellent CO2 uptake abilities as well as good adsorption selectivity for CO2 over N2. The CO2 storage can reach up to 4.05 mmol g -1 (17.8 wt %) and 2.57 mmol g-1 (11.3 wt %) at 273 K and 298 K, respectively. Moreover, the high selectivity of the polymer toward CO2 over N2 (50.6, 298 K) makes it a promising material for potential application in CO2 separation from flue gas.
