Abstract

A new series of porous organic networks (PONs) internally decorated with several free -OH functional groups has been synthesized through acid catalyzed condensation reaction of terephthalaldehyde and nucleophilic aromatic compounds. These materials possess high Brunauer-Emmett-Teller specific surface areas (592-865 m² g^-1) and showed maximum CO₂ adsorption capacity of 4.31 mmol g^-1 and H₂ uptake of 8.23 mmol g^-1 at 273 and 77 K, respectively, under 1 bar.
