Article Abstract
Lignin, a byproduct of the pulp and paper industry and the second-most abundant biomacromolecule, exhibits distinctive characteristics including an aromatic skeleton, complex structure, and challenges related to its utilization. In this study, a triarylimidazole was synthesized from veratraldehyde, a potential lignin derivative, and employed as a monomer for the preparation of ionic hyper-cross-linked polymers characterized by a fibrous and porous microstructure. The presence of methoxy groups endows the resulting ionic hyper-cross-linked polymers with a chemical structure comprising electron-rich aromatic rings and adjacent imidazolium groups, which facilitate synergistic noncovalent interactions with cationic organic pollutants, thereby promoting effective adsorption. The chemical structure, microstructure, adsorption performance toward organic cationic pollutants, and the underlying adsorption mechanisms of the synthesized ionic hyper-cross-linked polymers were comprehensively investigated. The findings provide valuable insights for the high-value utilization of lignin, expand the molecular design strategies for functionalized ionic hyper-cross-linked polymers, and contribute to their sustainable development.

A series of tertiary amine suspended hyper-cross-linked ionic polymers (HCIPs), characterized by a rich mesoporous structure, high ionic liquid (IL) density, and good CO adsorption capability, were readily prepared via a postsynthetic method. The self-polymerization of 1,3,5-tris(bromomethyl) benzene (TBB) or its copolymerization with 4,4'-bis(bromomethyl) biphenyl (BBP) in varying ratios, followed by grafting with ,,','-tetramethyl-1,3-propanediamine (TMPDA), yielded the target TMPDA-HCIPs. These HCIPs constitute one of the limited categories of heterogeneous water-tolerant catalyst types ever developed for the cycloaddition reaction between CO and epoxides.

Multifunctionalization of porous organic polymers (POPs) toward cooperative CO catalysis has attracted so much attention in recent years, but it still remains a huge challenge to scientists. In this contribution, a concise and efficient method to construct aluminum porphyrin-based hyper-cross-linked ionic polymers has been demonstrated for the first time, which are featured with high surface areas and hierarchical structures. Obviously, the preparation of metalloporphyrin-based hyper-cross-linked polymers with tetraphenylmethane-derived three-dimensional structures is beneficial for the introduction of abundant ionic active sites and the formation of hierarchical porous structures.

There is an immediate need for meticulous design of easily accessible, cost-effective, chemically stable and eco-friendly materials for effectively removal of water contaminant. Herein, targeting typical water contaminants, endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), three cationic hyper-cross-linked porous polymers (ciHCP-1, ciHCP-2, ciHCP-3) with multiple adsorption sites were designed with 2-hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride chitosan (HACC) as precursor. The ciHCP-3 with large surface area (806 m g) exhibited high sorption capacity (137-366 mg g), and fast adsorption kinetics (5 min) for the EDCs, which is superior to the reported sorbents.

Ionic liquid-based functional materials have attracted significant attention for their distinctive structure in the field of CO capture and conversion. In this work, a series of hydroxyl-functionalized ionic hyper-cross-linked polymers are prepared through a one-step Friedel-Crafts reaction involving hypoxanthine (HX) and benzimidazole (BI) as the monomers, along with various halohydrocarbon crosslinking agents. These polymers demonstrate a high specific surface area (558-1480 m·g), well-developed microporous structure, and unique ion sites, enabling them to exhibit remarkable and reversible CO adsorption properties.
