Efficient synthesis of porous triazine-based macrocycles with 22-carbon and 6-nitrogen ring atoms and their adsorption/desorption of non-volatile organic compounds.

Porous triazine-based macrocycles with 22-carbon and 6-nitrogen ring atoms were efficiently synthesized and used for adsorbing bisphenol A, sulfamethoxazole, sodium dodecyl sulfate, and polyoxyethylene laural ether from aqueous media; after adsorption, simple extraction to desorb the guests from these porous macrocycles demonstrates a facile and efficient approach for porous materials to adsorb and desorb non-volatile organic compounds, thus being potentially applied to other surfactants or antibiotics.
