Abstract

We present a rational design and synthesis of a novel porous pyridine-functionalized polycarbazole for efficient CO₂ capture based on the density functional theory calculations. The task-specific polymer, generated through a one-step FeCl₃-catalyzed oxidative coupling reaction, exhibits a superior CO₂ uptake at 1.0 bar and 273 K (5.57 mmol g⁻¹).
