A cobalt harnessed phenanthroline and triphenylamine-based conjugated mesoporous polymer designed by a donor–acceptor approach for trifunctional electrocatalysis

Abstract

A conjugated mesoporous polymer with a donor-acceptor approach (TBPA-phen) is synthesized via tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium-catalyzed Sonogashira coupling and is exploited for in situ modification with cobalt (Co@TBPA-phen). The polymers exhibit a charge-separated...

Exploration of cobalt(ii) modification in a phenanthroline-based conjugated organic polymer towards trifunctional electrocatalysis

“…The increase in peak-to-peak separation from 7 to 954 Gauss was due to the incorporation of Co( ii ). 60,61 The powder XRD pattern revealed the characteristic amorphous nature of the polymer. The broad and widespread peak in the 2-theta range of ∼12–28° signified the high π–π conjugation (Fig.…”
