Once again, an article from the New Journal of Chemistry has been selected by the American Chemical Society as Noteworthy Chemistry (September 26, 2011). The groups of Thierry Muller and Stefan Bräse (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany) and of Piero Sozzani (University of Milan-Bicocca, Italy) developed new hyper-cross-linked polymers (HCLPs) using click chemistry via an unconventional route.
The adamantane-based compound shows remarkable efficiency for CO2 capture under the mild conditions of low pressure or at room temperature.
