The ability to form self-organized thermotropic mesophases of amphiphilic cyclodextrins correlates well with their ability to establish an intermolecular H-bond network.
Several cyclodextrin (CD)-based hyper-crosslinked porous polymers (HCPPs) were designed and synthesized for selective CO2 adsorption and storage. A feasible way to tailor the porosity of the materials was also established.
