Capture and catalytic conversion of CO2 into value-added chemicals is a promising and sustainable approach to relieve global warming and the energy crisis. Nitrogen-rich porous organic polymers (POPs) are promising materials for CO2 capture and separation, but their application in the additive-free catalytic conversion of CO2 into cyclic carbonates is still a challenge. Herein, a nitrogen-rich click-based POP (CPP) was developed for the cycloaddition reaction of CO2 with epoxides in the absence of metal, solvents, and additives. The introduction of imidazolium-based ionic liquids on the CPP host backbone could modulate the porosity, CO2 adsorption/desorption, CO2 selectivity over N-2, and catalytic activity in the chemical transformation. A tentative catalytic pathway was proposed to account for the superior catalytic activity of the catalytic systems, in which the incorporated ionic liquid and porous properties of CPP synergistically contributed to the catalytic reaction. This study provides a platform to understand the cooperative effects of porous properties and nucleophilic anions on the cycloaddition reaction of CO2 with epoxides.
