Study on Extraction of Heavy Metals by Porous Organic Cages (POCs)

Solids composed of shape-persistent organic cage molecules are an emerging class of porous materials. The nature of porosity in these materials makes them suitable for special application because of their unique properties. The cage molecules are synthesized in a simple one-step cycloimination reaction by various trialdehyde and diamine monomers. The molecules pack in the solid state by weak wan der Waals interactions. This study aims to synthesize and simulate crystalline and amorphous porous organic cages for potential applications in separation and extraction of metals
