Abstract
Among the porous organic polymers, Covalent Triazine Polymers (CTPs) have emerged as an important class of materials with versatile applications such as energy storage and conversion, gas adsorption and separation, photocatalysis and heterogeneous catalysis. Particularly, CTPs have been often used as catalyst/catalyst support due to their excellent thermal and chemical stability, as well as recyclability in catalytic reactions. Moreover, the expanding methods available for the synthesis of CTPs, convenient functionalization and presence of nitrogen sites in the framework make them a suitable candidate to develop catalysts for organic transformations. In this review, the methods of synthesis, characterization of CTPs and mainly their applications as catalyst/ catalyst support in organic transformations are summarized.
Keywords: Covalent Triazine Polymers, organic transformations, catalyst support, heterogeneous catalyst, organic polymers, aromatic nitriles.
