A series of TENF-functionalized polymers with variable linker-lengths and sphere-sizes were designed, synthesized and fully characterized. All polymers, under the adsorption conditions studied, were selective for nitrogen compounds, while the percentage concentration of sulfur in the feed remained unchanged. The synthesized polymers were restored to their original state after regeneration.
