The cost-effective synthesis of furan- and thienyl-based microporous polyaminals for adsorption of gases and organic vapors†
Abstract
This work reveals that furfural and 2-thenaldehyde can readily react with melamine via “one-step” polycondensation to yield hyper-cross-linked sulfur-, nitrogen- and oxygen-rich microporous polyaminals with promising applications in adsorption of gases and toxic organic vapors.
