摘要
The cycloaddition reaction between epoxides and CO_(2) is an effective method to utilize CO_(2) resource.Covalent organic frameworks(COFs)provide a promising platform for the catalytic CO_(2) transformations on account of their remarkable chemical and physical properties.Herein,a family of novel vinylene-linked ionic COFs named TE-COFs(TTE-COF,TME-COF,TPE-COF,TBE-COF)has been facilely synthesized from N-ethyl2,4,6-trimethylpyridinium bromide and a series of triphenyl aromatic aldehydes involving different numbers of nitrogen atoms in the central aromatic ring.The resulting catalyst TTE-COF with excellent adsorption capacity(45.6 cm3·g^(-1),273 K)exhibited outstanding catalytic performance,remarkable recyclability and great substrate tolerance.Moreover,it was also observed that the introduction of nitrogen atom in the precursor led to a great improvement in the crystallinity and CO_(2) adsorption capacity of TE-COFs,thus resulting to a progressively improved catalytic performance.This work not only illustrated the influence of monomer nitrogen content on the crystallinity and CO_(2) adsorption capacity of TE-COFs but also provided a green heterogeneous candidate for catalyzing the cycloaddition between CO_(2) and epoxides,which shed a light on improving the catalytic performance of the CO_(2) cycloaddition reaction by designing the covalent organic frameworks structures.
