A new kind of reactive dyes containing both monoazo and anthraquinone chromophores was obtained by using 1,4-bis((4-aminophenyl)amino)anthrancene- 9,10-dione as diazo component and 1-amino-8-naphthol-3,6-disulfonicacid (H-acid) derivatives as coupling components. The dyes were characterized by UV–Vis, IR, MS, 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR. The results showed that the maximum absorption wavelengths of the dyes were all about 590 nm, which indicated that they were a kind of blue dyes. 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR results revealed that there were two kinds of tautomerisms in dye structure and a new conjugated system formed between the anthraquinone ring and the phenyl azo linkage. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations also proved the formation of the new larger conjugated system from which the blue colour was generated. The fixations of the dyes on cotton were over 88% and the light fastness reached 5 grade.

Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) incorporating porous covalent organic frameworks (COFs) as fillers have garnered significant attention in membrane separation for water purification. Covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs) possess high thermochemical stability, an inherent triazine conjugate structure, and tunable pore size. Despite these attributes, CTFs have been underutilized in MMMs. In this study, CTF-based porous MMMs were fabricated by blending 4,4′-biphenyldicarbonitrile (BPCN) monomer with polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and employing titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO 2 NPs) as a pore-forming agent. The nature of PAN also makes the mixed matrix membranes have better hydrophilicity and mechanical properties. The optimized CTF-MMM exhibited an impressive water permeance of ∼ 204 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 , accompanied by a remarkable dye rejection of ∼ 99 % and a low salt rejection. Moreover, the CTF-MMM demonstrated sustained water permeance and separation performance even after 48 h. This work introduces a synthesis strategy for fabricating high-performance CTF-based porous mixed matrix membranes, showcasing significant potential for applications in dye/salt separation.
