It is still a big challenge to efficiently catalyze cycloaddition of CO₂ and epoxide under the mild condition of atmospheric pressure and low temperature. Herein, a family of novel ionic polymers IP1-IP3 has been facilely synthesized via nucleophilic substitution reaction between the precursors of N-trimethylsilyl imidazole and dihalides with different functional groups to form repeating C-N bonds. IP1-IP3 have been fully characterized by FT-IR, scanning electron microscope, X-ray energy dispersive spectrum mapping, specific surface area and porosity analyses, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The ionic polymers IP1-IP3 efficiently catalyzed the cycloaddition of CO₂ and epoxides to afford cyclic carbonates at p_CO₂=101 kPa, but their catalytic activities varied with the spacers with different functional groups. Among the three ionic polymers, IP3 with a phenolic hydroxyl as the spacer showed the best catalytic performance. Under the optimized conditions of solvent-free, 80℃, 12 h, and p_CO₂=101 kPa, IP3 could quantitatively convert epichlorohydrin into its corresponding cyclic carbonate and showed broad substrate scope. Furthermore, IP3 could be recycled and reused 10 times without an obvious decrease in catalytic activity (Yield>92%), which indicates excellent stability.
