Abstract
The uses and production of radionuclides in nuclear energy production and medical therapy are becoming more significant in today's world. While these applications have many benefits, they can produce harmful pollutants, such as radioactive iodine, that need to be sequestered. Effective capture and storage of radioactive iodine waste remains a major challenge for nuclear energy generation and nuclear medicine. Here we report the highly efficient capture of iodine in a series of mesoporous, two-dimensional (2D) covalent organic frameworks, called COFamides, which contain amide sidechains in their pores. COFamides are capable of rapidly removing iodine from aqueous solution at concentrations as low as 50 ppm, with total capacities greater than 650 wt%. In order to explain the high affinity of the COFamide series for iodine and iodide species in water, we performed a computational analysis of the interactions between the COFamide framework and iodine guests. These studies suggest that the origin of the large iodine capacity in these materials can be explained by the presence of multiple, cooperative, non-covalent interactions between the framework and both iodine, and iodide species.

Using molecular straps to engineer conjugated porous polymer growth, chemical doping, and conductivity. Chem Sci 2023; 14:5510-5518. [PMID: 37234908 PMCID: PMC10207893 DOI: 10.1039/d3sc00983a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2023] [Accepted: 04/18/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Controlling network growth and architecture of 3D-conjugated porous polymers (CPPs) is challenging and therefore has limited the ability to systematically tune the network architecture and study its impact on doping efficiency and conductivity. We have proposed that π-face masking straps mask the π-face of the polymer backbone and therefore help to control π-π interchain interactions in higher dimensional π-conjugated materials unlike the conventional linear alkyl pendant solubilizing chains that are incapable of masking the π-face. Herein, we used cycloaraliphane-based π-face masking strapped monomers and show that the strapped repeat units, unlike the conventional monomers, help to overcome the strong interchain π-π interactions, extend network residence time, tune network growth, and increase chemical doping and conductivity in 3D-conjugated porous polymers. The straps doubled the network crosslinking density, which resulted in 18 times higher chemical doping efficiency compared to the control non-strapped-CPP. The straps also provided synthetic tunability and generated CPPs of varying network size, crosslinking density, dispersibility limit, and chemical doping efficiency by changing the knot to strut ratio. For the first time, we have shown that the processability issue of CPPs can be overcome by blending them with insulating commodity polymers. The blending of CPPs with poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) has enabled them to be processed into thin films for conductivity measurements. The conductivity of strapped-CPPs is three orders of magnitude higher than that of the poly(phenyleneethynylene) porous network.

Li J, Wang C, Mo Y. Selectivity Rule of Cryptands for Anions: Molecular Rigidity and Bonding Site. Chemistry 2023; 29:e202203558. [PMID: 36538660 DOI: 10.1002/chem.202203558] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2022] [Revised: 12/15/2022] [Accepted: 12/20/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Cryptands utilize inside CH or NH groups as hydrogen bond (H-bond) donors to capture anions such as halides. In this work, the nature and selectivity of confined hydrogen bonds inside cryptands were computationally analyzed with the energy decomposition scheme based on the block-localized wavefunction method (BLW-ED), aiming at an elucidation of governing factors in the binding between cryptands and anions. It was revealed that the intrinsic strengths of inward hydrogen bonds are dominated by the electrostatic attraction, while the anion preferences (selectivity) of inner CH and NH hydrogen bonds are governed by the Pauli exchange repulsion and electrostatic interaction, respectively. Typical conformers of cages are classified into two groups, including the C3(h) -symmetrical conformers, in which all halide anions are located near the centroids of cages, and the "semi-open" conformers, which exhibit shifted bonding sites for different halide anions. Accordingly, the difference in governing factors of selectivity is attributed to either the rigidity of cages or the binding site of anions for these two groups. In details, the C3 conformers of NH cryptands can be enlarged more remarkably than the C3(h) -symmetrical conformers of CH cryptands as the size of anion (ionic radius) increases, resulting in the relaxation of the Pauli repulsion and a dramatic reduction in electrostatic attraction, which eventually rules the selectivity of NH cryptands for halide anions. By contrary, the CH cryptands are more rigid and cannot effectively reduce the Pauli repulsion, which subsequently governs the anion preference. Unlike C3 conformers whose rigidity determines the selectivity, semi-open conformers exhibit different binding sites for different anions. From F- to I- , the bonding site shifts toward the outside end of the pocket inside the semi-open NH cryptand, leading to the significant reduction of the electrostatic interaction that dominates the anion preference. Differently, binding sites are much less affected by the size of anion inside the semi-open CH cryptand, in which the Pauli exchange repulsion remains the key factor for the selectivity of inner hydrogen bonds.

Abstract
N-rich organic materials bearing polyphenolic moieties in their building networks and nanoscale porosities are very demanding in the context of designing efficient biomaterials or drug carriers for the cancer treatment. Here, we report the synthesis of a new triazine-based secondary-amine- and imine-linked polyphenolic porous organic polymer material TrzTFPPOP and explored its potential for in vitro anticancer activity on the human colorectal carcinoma (HCT 116) cell line. This functionalized (-OH, -NH-, -C=N-) organic material displayed an exceptionally high BET surface area of 2140 m2 g-1 along with hierarchical porosity (micropores and mesopores), and it induced apoptotic changes leading to high efficiency in colon cancer cell destruction via p53-regulated DNA damage pathway. The IC30, IC50, and IC70 values obtained from the MTT assay are 1.24, 3.25, and 5.25 μg/mL, respectively.

Abstract
The targeted synthesis of a novel ionic porous organic polymer (iPOP) was reported. The compound (denoted as QUST-iPOP-1) was built up through a quaternization reaction of tris(4-imidazolylphenyl)amine and cyanuric chloride, and then benzyl bromide was added to complete the quaternization of the total imidazolyl units. It featured a special exchangeable Cl-/Br--rich structure with high permanent porosity and wide pore size distribution, enabling it to rapidly and effectively remove environmentally toxic oxo-anions including Cr2O72-, MnO4-, and ReO4- and anionic organic dyes with different sizes including methyl blue, Congo red, and methyl orange from water. Notably, QUST-iPOP-1 showed ultra-high capacity values for radioactive TcO4- surrogate anions (MnO4- and ReO4-), Cr2O72-, methyl blue, and Congo red, and these were comparable to some reported compounds of exhaustive research. Furthermore, the relative removal rate was high even when other concurrent anions existed.
