Chem Commun (Camb). 2016 Nov 3;52(90):13288-13291. doi: 10.1039/c6cc07662a.

Abstract

A bifunctional cationic porous organic polymer based on a Salen-(Al) metalloligand (Al-CPOP) containing imidazolium functionality exhibited enhanced activity and good recyclability in the cycloaddition of carbon dioxide to produce cyclic carbonates without the addition of co-catalysts at atmospheric pressure.
