Abstract

A new conjugated ionic porous organic polymer (AN-POP), incorporated with anthracene-extended viologen, has been rationally designed and prepared to explore its dual functions in photocatalytic oxidation and bacterial killing. Compared with its anthracene-free counterpart (BD-POP), AN-POP showed a superior photocatalytic oxidation performance and antibacterial activity demonstrating the critical role of an anthracene-extended viologen structure.
