Synthesis and Characterization of Covalent Organic Polymer

Abstract:

Development of covalent organic polymer (COP) is a potential new class of adsorbent for gas separation due to their good hydrothermal stability, chemical tuning flexibility and low cost. COP-1 was prepared via one-step polycondensation of cyanuric chloride and piperazine under catalyst free and N₂ atmosphere condition. The properties of COP-1 were characterized using several analytical methods such as Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR), solid Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (s-NMR), Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and N₂ adsorption and desorption measurement. The C-N bond of COP-1 which has non-rigid framework was successfully linked in this study. It is found that COP-1 has low thermal degradation temperature i.e. 483 K. As compared to literature, lower surface area (75.5 m²/g) and slightly large pore size (8 nm) are noticed. The difference of physical properties of COP-1 synthesized between in this study and literature revealed the challenge of reproducibility for COP-1.
