“…43,[48][49][50][51] Likewise, other polymers such as vinylbenzyl-tributylammonium, methacrylate dimethylheptylammonium and diallyldimethyl ammonium based PIL-10, PIL-12a-c and PIL-13a-j have also been probed for their CO 2 uptake. 42,52,53 Instead of using the aforementioned cations, recently Einloft et al 54 adopted two different approaches to fabricate novel polyurethanebased PIL-16 to PIL-18; first route involved a single step cationic polymer synthesis while second method produced the anionic polyurethane in two steps ( Figure 3). Imidazolium cation incorporated in backbone of polyurethane (PIL-16) showed lower CO 2 sorption (56.3 mol %) relative to the imidazolium used as a counter-cation in PIL-17a (62.3mol %) at 5 bar.…”
