Abstract
Disclosed herein are supramolecular porous organic nanocomposites for heterogenous photocatalysis as well as methods of making and using the same. The nanocomposite comprises an admixture of a polymeric matrix and a macrocycle.
Claims33
A photocatalyst comprising a nanocomposite, the nanocomposite comprising an admixture of a polymeric matrix and a macrocycle, and a polyaromatic guest, wherein the macrocycle and the polyaromatic guest form a host-guest complex.

A method for preparing a nanocomposite or a photocatalyst, the method comprising:
- providing a first macrocycle solution comprising a macrocycle, a macrocycle solvent, and a first counterion,
- preparing a second macrocycle solution comprising the macrocycle, the solvent, and a second counterion, wherein the second counterion is different than the first counterion, providing a polymer solution comprising a polymer and a polymer solvent, mixing the second macrocycle solution and the polymer solution, thereby precipitating the nanocomposite or the photocatalyst from solution.
