Abstract

Two new pyrene-cored covalent organic polymers (COPs), <b>CK-COP-1</b> and <b>CK-COP-2</b>, were synthesized via the one-step polymerization of two thiophene-based isomers, 1,3,6,8-tetra(thiophene-2-yl) pyrene (<b>L<sub>1</sub></b> ) and 1,3,6,8-tetra(thiophene-3-yl) pyrene (<b>L<sub>2</sub></b> ). The resulting pyrene-cored COPs exhibit rather different surface areas of 54 m<sup>2</sup> g<sup>-1</sup> and 615 m<sup>2</sup>g<sup>-1</sup> for <b>CK-COP-1</b> and <b>CK-COP-2</b>, respectively. The CO<sub>2</sub> uptake capacities of <b>CK-COP-1</b> and <b>CK-COP-2</b> also show different values of 2.85 and 9.73 wt % at 273 K, respectively. Furthermore, <b>CK-COP-2</b> offers not only a larger CO<sub>2</sub> adsorption capacity but also a better CO<sub>2</sub>/CH<sub>4</sub> selectivity at 273 K compared with <b>CK-COP-1</b>. <b>CK-COP-1</b> and <b>CK-COP-2</b> also exhibit considerable differences in their photophysical property. The different structure and properties of <b>CK-COPs</b> could be attributed to the isomer effect of their corresponding thiophene-based monomers. © 2017 Authors.
