AP-192 – Synthesis of Luminescent Covalent–Organic Polymers for Detecting Nitroaromatic Explosives and Small Organic Molecules

Zhonghua Xiang, Dapeng Cao* Three porous luminescent covalent–organic polymers (COPs) have been synthesized through self-polycondensation of the monomers of tris(4-bromophenyl)amine, 1,3,5-tris(4- bromophenyl)benzene, and 2,4,6-tris-(4-bromo-phenyl)-[1,3,5]triazine by using Ni-catalyzed Yamamoto reaction. All the COP materials possess not only high Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) specifi … Continue reading →
