A three-dimensional metal-containing porous organic polymer (Fe₂-POP) was synthesized using ferrous chloride, 2, 6-diformyl-4-methylphenol dioxime (H₃DFMP) and tetra(4-(dihydroxy)borylphenyl)methane (TBPM) through one-step coordination and boric acid esterification dehydration polymerization reaction. Binuclear iron as the linear unit was formed by coordination between iron ion and H₃DFMP, while TBPM was used as the tetrahedral linking unit, so that the three-dimensional porous organic polymer Fe₂-POP with dia topology was produced. X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis of the model compound (MC-1) verified the structural characteristics of the dinuclear ferrous unit. Infrared spectroscopy and solid-state nuclear magnetism characterizations proved the formation of C=N and B-O in Fe₂-POP. Fe₂-POP had a high specific surface area of 510 m²·g^-1 and uniform pore size (0.6-0.8 nm). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicated the presence of divalent iron in Fe₂-POP. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy showed that Fe₂-POP was composed of 50-100 nm sphere-shaped particles. Electrochemical tests showed that Fe₂-POP exhibited excellent electrochemical properties towards oxygen evolution reaction, and it only needed a small overpotential of 258 mV to deliver a current density of 10 mA·cm^-2, and the Tafel slope was 71.0 mV·dec^-1.
