Abstract:

Covalent organic polymers are an emerging class of materials with potential applications in areas including molecular separation, gas sorption, and catalysis. A novel fully conjugated organic polymer bearing bis(imino)pyridine (COP-BIP) and its catalytic function are reported here. Unlike previous COP materials, the imine bonds of COP-BIP act as both linkages and complexation sites for the binding of metal ions. A clear structure is presented based on ultraviolet-visible, Fourier transform infrared, and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry characterization. The COP-BIP materials are thermally stable up to 440 ℃ and are insoluble in conventional solvents. In addition, COP-BIP complexes Pd ions on bis(imino)pyridine sites and forms a heterogeneous catalyst, which exhibits excellent catalytic activity in the Suzuki-Miyaura C-C coupling reaction.
