Iodine and Nickel Ions Adsorption by Conjugated Copolymers Bearing Repeating Units of Dicyclopentapyrenyl and Various Thiophene Derivatives

The synthesis of three conjugated copolymers TPP1–3 was carried out using a palladium-catalyzed [3+2] cycloaddition polymerization of 1,6-dibromopyrene with various dialkynyl thiophene derivatives 3a–c. The target copolymers were obtained in excellent yields and high purity, as confirmed by instrume...

description The synthesis of three conjugated copolymers TPP1–3 was carried out using a palladium-catalyzed [3+2] cycloaddition polymerization of 1,6-dibromopyrene with various dialkynyl thiophene derivatives 3a–c. The target copolymers were obtained in excellent yields and high purity, as confirmed by instrumental analyses. TPP1–3 were found to divulge a conspicuous iodine adsorption capacity up to 3900 mg g<sup>−1</sup>, whereas the adsorption mechanism studies revealed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Furthermore, recyclability tests of TPP3, the copolymer which revealed the maximum iodine uptake, disclosed its efficient regeneration even after numerous adsorption-desorption cycles. Interestingly, the target copolymers proved promising nickel ions capture efficiencies from water with a maximum equilibrium adsorption capacity (q<sub>e</sub>) of 48.5 mg g<sup>−1</sup>.
