Cover Story: It is crucial to design efficient adsorbents for uranium from natural seawater with wide adaptability, effectiveness, and environmental safety. In this work, two new porous organic polymers (POPs) were rationally designed and constructed by linked with macrocyclic pillar[5]arene and hexachlorophosphate via a macrocycle-to-framework strategy. Both pillar[5]arene-containing POPs exhibited high uranium adsorption capacity compared with macrocycle-free counterparts. Additionally, the stability and adsorption capacity of both polymers can be regulated by the monomer ratio between pillar[5]arene and hexachlorophosphate. This work provides a new idea for the design and construction of uranium adsorbents from macrocycle-derived POPs. View this paper
