A novel route to synthesizing cyclodextrin polymers of high porosity and a great thermal stability was developed. The resulting porous polymers show great effi ciency in the adsorption of aromatic molecules from water and also can serve as a smart support for gold nanoparticles for the catalytic transformation of the adsorbed molecules. A hyper-crosslinked b -cyclodextrin porous polymer (BnCD-HCPP) was designed and synthesized facilely by b -cyclodextrin benzylation and subsequent crosslinking via a Friedel – Crafts alkylation route. The BnCD-HCPP shows an extremely high BET surface area, large pore volume, and high thermal stability, making it a highly e ffi cient adsorbent for removal of aromatic pollutants from water. The adsorption e ffi ciency in terms of distribution coe ffi cient, de fi ned as the ratio of adsorption capacity to equilibrium adsorbate concentration, ranged from 10 3 to 10 6 mL g (cid:1) 1 within a concentration of 0 – 100 ppm, one order of magnitude higher than that of other b -cyclodextrin-based adsorbents reported previously. The molar percentage of adsorbate to b -cyclodextrin exceeded 300%, suggesting that the adsorption occurred not only in the cyclodextrin cavities via a 1 : 1 complexation, but also in the nanopores of the BnCD-HCPP created during the hyper-crosslinking. The BnCD-HCPP can be further functionalized by incorporation of gold nanoparticles for catalytic transformation of adsorbed phenolic compounds such as 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol.
