Ferrocenyl building block constructing porous organic polymer for gas capture and methyl violet adsorption

Abstract

Ferrocene-based porous organic polymer (FcPOP) was constructed with ferrocene and porphyrin derivatives as building blocks via Schiff-base coupling. FcPOP was well characterized, and exhibited good thermal stability, high porosity, microporous structure, and homogeneous pore size distribution. Ferrocene blocks with highly electron-rich characteristics endowed FcPOP with excellent adsorption capacity of CO₂ and methyl violet. The kinetic study indicated adsorption of methyl violet onto FcPOP mainly complied with pesudo-second order model. The maximum adsorption capacity of FcPOP derived from Langmuir isotherm model reached up to 516 mg/g. More importantly, FcPOP could be easily regenerated and repeatedly employed for removal of methyl violet with high efficiency. Overall, FcPOP in the present study highlighted prospective applications in the field of gas capture and dyeing wastewater treatment.
