A recyclable indole-based polymer for trinitrotoluene adsorption<i>via</i>the synergistic effect of dipole–π and donor–acceptor interactions

Abstract

A new type of indole-based porous organic polymer with amine units (PAIN) has been constructed, which possesses encouraging and effective adsorption properties for trinitrotoluene by taking advantage of the synergistic effect of dipole–π and donor–acceptor interactions.
