From Nonporous to Porous: Carbazole-Integrated π-Conjugated Pillar[5]arene Crystals for Enhanced Iodine Capture
Abstract
Herein, we present a case of transforming from a nonporous crystal to a porous crystal, achieved by molecular functionalization of a perethylated pillar[5]arene using two carbazole units. The porous crystal demonstrates an enhanced iodine capture behavior and outstanding recyclability.
