Abstract

A series of tetrahedrally linked conjugated microporous polymer networks were prepared using a variety of bond-forming chemistries including Sonogashira−Hagihara coupling, Yamamoto coupling, thermal alkyne condensation, and “click” chemistry. These thermally stable polymers exhibit high surface areas (up to 3200 m2/g) and adsorb up to 2.34 wt % hydrogen by mass at 1.13 bar/77 K and 7.59 wt % carbon dioxide by mass at 1.13 bar/298 K.
