Fluorinated vs. non-fluorinated tetrahedral Tri4Tri4 porous organic cages for H2, CO2, and CH4 adsorption†
Abstract
We present the synthesis of two porous complementary tetrahedral Tri4Tri4 imine cages, exhibiting Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface areas of 591 m2 g−1 and 753 m2 g−1, suitable for the adsorption of H2, CO2, and CH4. Comparisons in terms of crystallinity, thermal stability, porosity, and selectivity highlight the promising properties of fluorinated and non-fluorinated porous organic cages as functional materials.
