Check out our latest publication in Angewandte Chemie, amazing work by Patrick W. Fritz and Eylül Attar Çalıkyılmaz. In this work, we designed a new tetraoxacirculene-based porous organic polymer for gold capture from e-waste. We also showed that the resulting material can serve as a heterogeneous catalyst for the two-step annulation reaction to yield a quinoline derivative. We demonstrated that by simply changing the solvent, it is possible to realize product divergence using the same heterogeneous catalyst! 

This research has been funded by NCCR Catalysis.

Congratulations to Patrick and Eylül for this excellent work!
