Abstract

Abstract: The adsorption method is considered to be one of the most promising organic pollutants emission reduction strategies. The design and synthesis of high-performance porous adsorbents are one of the most important but challenging works. In this work, we constructed a new class of porous molecular cage switches by a simple reaction using phenolphthalein as the raw material. The molecular cage switches displayed interesting on-off behavior towards organic guests, which is highly responding to organic pollutants with rapid color change and is also able to adsorb these organic pollutants through an open-to-close pathway. This molecular cage switch also has excellent regenerative cycling properties and water resistance, which is expected to be employed in the handling of organic pollutants in the future.

Key words: Porous organic cage, Molecular switch, Phenolphthalein, Organic pollutant, Sensor
