Abstract

A Rose bengal-functionalized porous organic polymer (RB-POP) was prepared with a specific surface area of up to 562 m2 g-1. In the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene, RB-POP supported Ag(0) nanoparticles exhibited excellent performance for catalyzing cyclization of propargyl alcohols with CO2 at 30 °C, achieving a TOF of 5000 h-1, the highest value among the reported ones.
