Abstract

The Diels-Alder reaction is striking as a prominent synthetic tool for the rapid construction of complex molecular frameworks, but the synthesis of porous organic polymers (POPs) via the Diels-Alder reaction is rare. Herein, we report the solvothermal synthesis of a new type of POPs (DA-POPs) via the furan/alkynyl Diels-Alder reaction. These polymers show favorable porous properties and high specific surface areas (up to 1041 m²·g^-1). Meanwhile, the high porosity in conjuction of ether bridges in the DA-POPs enable a fine adsorption performance for the removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions.
