Polymers functionalized with bronsted acid groups
Porous aromatic framework polymers functionalized with Bronsted acid moieties are prepared by polymerization of a three-dimensional organic aryl or heteroaryl monomer and its copolymerization with a second aryl or heteroaryl monomer functionalized with one or more Bronsted acid moiety. The polymers are characterized by a stable three-dimensional structure, which, in exemplary embodiments, includes interpenetrating subunits within one or more domain of the bulk polymer structure. The polymers are of use in methods of adsorbing ammonia and amines and in devices and systems configured for this purpose.
