摘要

Porous organic cages (POCs) with reversible post-synthetic modification (PSM) capabilities hold great promise for the development of stimuli-responsive materials. Herein, a reversible redox PSM process was established between the imidazoline-based organic cage 1 and the imidazolium iodide cage 2, mediated by I2 oxidation and NaBH4 reduction, respectively. Due to the redox active site and multiple non-covalent interaction sites, cage 1 delivers a high iodine vapor adsorption capacity of 4.71 g g−1, which is 1.35 times higher than that of a similar organic cage without imidazoline units. Moreover, cage 1 also demonstrates rapid iodine capture in solution (99% removal within 1 min) and good recyclability. This work pioneers reversible PSM in POCs and provides a strategic design for efficient, stimuli-responsive iodine adsorbents.
