Construction of an organic cage-based porous ionic liquid using an aminal tying strategy
An aminal tying method was applied to post-synthetically modify a flexible organic cage, <b>RCC1</b>, to construct a porous ionic liquid (PIL). The resulting PIL, [<b>RCC1</b>-IM][NTf<sub>2</sub>]<sub>6</sub>, displayed melting behaviour below 100 °C, a transition to a glass phase on melt-quenching, CO<sub>2</sub> uptake, and its permanent porosity was confirmed using molecular dynamic simulations.
