Two series of organic–inorganic composite materials were synthesized through solvothermal imine condensation between diketopyrrolopyrrole dialdehyde DPP-1 and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-aminophenyl)porphyrin (TAPP) in the presence of varying amounts of either amino- or carboxy-functionalized superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (FeO). Whereas high FeO loading induced cross-linking of the inorganic nanoparticles by amorphous imine polymers, a lower FeO content resulted in the formation of crystalline covalent organic framework domains. All hybrid materials were analyzed by magnetization measurements, powder X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, IR, and UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy. Crystallinity, chromophore stacking, and visible absorption features are directly correlated to the mass fraction of the components, thus allowing for a fine-tuning of materials properties.
Superparamagnetic nanocomposite microparticles, compromised of magnetite nanoparticles in a silica matrix, have been synthesised and surface-modified to act as adsorbers for substances (e.g. toxic heavy metals or valuable resources) dissolved in fluids like water. The particles can be used for a magnetic-extraction-assisted separation process of these target substances which thereby can be recovered from the fluid.
