Macrocycle crosslinked mesoporous polymers for ultrafast separation of organic dyes†
Abstract
Mesoporous polymers were synthesized by interfacial polymerization of macrocycles (sulfonatocalix[4]arenes and pillar[5]arenes) and terephthaloyl chloride. These polymer films showed ultrahigh permeabilities and excellent selectivities for molecular separations of organic dyes in water.
