title: Microporous organic polymers with ketal linkages: synthesis, characterization, and gas sorption properties.
abstract: A series of microporous organic polymers with ketal linkages were synthesized based on the condensation of aromatic acetyl monomers with pentaerythritol. Fourier transform infrared and solid-state cross-polarization/magic-angle-spinning (13)C NMR spectroscopy were utilized to confirm the ketal linkages of the resulting polymers. The morphology can be observed from scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy images. The materials possess Brunauer-Emmet-Teller specific surface area values ranging from 520 to 950 m(2) g(-1), and the highest hydrogen sorption capacity is up to 1.96 wt % (77 K and 1.0 bar), which is superior to that of most of microporous organic polymers. The facile and cost-effective preparation process and excellent gas sorption properties make these kinds of materials promising candidates for practical applications.
