Abstract

<jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title><jats:p>Two methods of incorporating functional groups rich in nitrogen into low cost microporous hypercrosslinked polymers (HCPs) have been evaluated and the effects on the carbon dioxide CO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>/N<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> IAST selectivity were measured. Electrostatic incorporation of an ammonium salt into a sulfonic acid‐containing HCP polymer afforded a static CO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> uptake of 2.5 mmol g<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup> with a CO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>/N<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> IAST selectivity of 42:1 at 1 bar and 298 K. Using column breakthrough measurements with a 15:85 CO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>/N<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> mixture at 298 K and 1 bar, a selectivity of 17:1 was obtained. However, varying the counterion resulted in polymers with lower CO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>/N<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> selectivity values. Decoration of the parent polymer with CO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>‐philic imidazole followed by electrostatic ammonium salt incorporation blocked some of the micropores reducing the selectivity which re‐emphasizes the role and importance of pore width for CO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>/N<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> selectivity. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
