Due to their tailored porosity, high catalytic activity and excellent chemical/thermal stability, porous organic polymers and their metal complexes hold promising potential in CO 2 capture and conversion. In this work, two kinds of melamine-based porous polymers (TPAMP and TPBMP) and their zinc complexes (Zn-TPAMP and Zn-TPBMP) were synthesized. Zn-TPAMP and Zn-TPBMP present high CO 2 uptake of 11.7 wt.-% and 16.8 wt.-% at 273 K and 1 bar, respectively. In particular, Zn-TPAMP demonstrates high catalytic activity for the cycloaddition of CO 2 with epoxides (TOF: 1383 h -1 ). The high CO 2 For the past decades, the overwhelming CO 2 emission has caused the overall global warming, and 40 % of the CO 2 emissions are released from the fossil fuel-based power plants. Therefore, the post-combustion CO 2 capture is considered to be an effective way for reduction of the CO 2 level in the atmosphere. On the other hand, CO 2 can be served as a cheap and non-toxic block for C 1 chemistry. [1] Thus, CO 2 capture and conversion from the fossil fuel-based power plants have been attracting increasing attention in recent years. In order to achieve effective CO 2 capture various solid materials such as zeolites, metal organic frameworks (MOFs), carbon material, and porous organic polymers (POPs) have been intensively investigated. [2] Among them, POPs hold promising potential due to their tailored porosity, high catalytic activity and excellent chemical/ thermal stability. However, their capability of CO 2 uptake is urgent to be improved to fulfil the practical requirements. Typically, there are two main methods to improve the CO 2 uptake for the POPs: i) Introducing functional groups especially nitrogen-rich functional groups on the skeleton of the POPs. These groups have strong affinity to CO 2 , inducing enhanced CO 2 uptake. Therefore, nitrogen-rich functional groups which have strong affinity to CO 2 , such as azo, [3] imidazole, [4] triazine [5] and amine groups [6] have been frequently grafted to the skeleton of the POPs. For example, Bhunia et al. reported a series of [a] College
