Abstract

Porous organic polymers (POPs) have demonstrated promising task-specific applications due to their structure designability and thus functionality. Herein, an unusual 3,4-polymerization on 1,2,5-trisubstituted pyrroles has been developed to give linear polypyrrole-3,4 in high efficiency, with Mn of 20000 and PDI of 1.7. This novel polymerization technique was applied to prepare a series of polypyrrole-based POPs (PY-POP-1-4), which exhibited high BET surface areas (up to 762 m2 g-1) with a meso-micro-supermicro hierarchically porous structure. Furthermore, PY-POPs were doped in the mixed matrix membranes based on the polysulfone matrix to enhance the gas permeability and gas pair selectivity, with H2/N2 selectivity up to 84.6 and CO2/CH4 and CO2/N2 selectivity up to 46.8 and 39.6.
