Zn( ii ) assisted synthesis of porous salen as an efficient heterogeneous scaffold for capture and conversion of CO 2

We have designed a unique strategy to obtain a zinc-salen functionalized porous polymer (Zn@SBMMP) with high zinc content (15.3 wt%) by an easy one-step, cost effective and scalable process, which shows unprecedented catalytic efficiency in the CO 2 fixation reaction via cycloaddition of CO 2 with e...

Description
Summary:We have designed a unique strategy to obtain a zinc-salen functionalized porous polymer (Zn@SBMMP) with high zinc content (15.3 wt%) by an easy one-step, cost effective and scalable process, which shows unprecedented catalytic efficiency in the CO 2 fixation reaction via cycloaddition of CO 2 with epoxides. We hypothesize that a high density of Zn-Schiff base/salen units present in the porous polymer network is responsible for the exceptionally high catalytic performance of Zn@SBMMP.
