Abstract

Atom economy is one of the main concerns for material synthesis. Here, the facile synthesis of Lewis acidic boron-containing porous organic polymers (B-POPs) via hydroboration polymerization reaction of commercially available borane dimethyl sulfide complex (BH₃ ∙SMe₂ ) with multi-alkynes under mild reaction conditions is presented. This new synthetic method for B-POPs has the advantage of high atom economy. The resulted porous alkenyl borane polymers (PABPs) have unique features such as high boron content, strong Lewis acidity, and high surface areas. Owing to the strong Lewis acid-base interactions, PABPs exhibit excellent adsorptive capacity toward triethylamine (up to 841 mg g^-1 ) and pyridine (up to 1396 mg g^-1 ) vapor.

Keywords: atom economy; boron-containing porous organic polymers (B-POPs); hydroboration polymerization; lewis acidity; triethylamine and pyridine capture.
