“…Significant thermal, chemical, and tunable physicochemical stability along with pore size, large surface area, and low skeleton density remain very important among them. − In this particular work, we have utilized the advantage of incorporation of viologens, an N , N ′-disubstituted-4,4′-bipyridinium moiety, which is an electron-accepting dicationic organic structure with an excellent reversible redox property and fast electron transfer ability, to generate an ionic porous organic polymer (iPOP-Bpy). The polymer contains an electron-withdrawing triazine moiety in the core, which is a suitable electron acceptor with favorable electron-conducting properties. − The cationic nature of the polymer, nitrogen-rich structure, physicochemical stability, and presence of an aromatic skeleton make it a suitable candidate to explore its capacity for iodine adsorption. The importance of iodine adsorption study lies in the fact that in the nuclear power energy sector, among various nuclear toxic wastes, the generation of volatile radionucleotides of iodine 129 I and 131 I is considered one of the dangerous atomic wastes due to its volatility which is hard to control, and it can readily diffuse in the environment and contaminates it.…”
