A porous covalent porphyrin framework with exceptional uptake capacity of saturated hydrocarbons oil spill cleanup

Abstract

Yamamoto homo-coupling reaction of tetra(4-bromophenyl)porphyrin afforded a porous covalent porphyrin framework, PCPF-1, which features strong hydrophobicity and oleophilicity and demonstrates exceptional adsorptive capacities for saturated hydrocarbons and gasoline.
