Core engineering within BINOL-based porous organic polymers for efficacious sequestration of iodine and methyl orange

Abstract

The in situ BINOL formation strategy afforded, for the first time, core-engineered BINOL-based porous organic polymers (POPs) containing tetraphenylethylene and pyrene. These POPs exhibited volatile iodine vapor uptake of up to 371 wt% and photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange within 50 min, showcasing the potential of BINOL-based POPs for all-around decontamination.
