Abstract:
We synthesized conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) based on tetrakis(4-ethynylphenyl)stannane and diiodobenzene as tectons, using Sonogashira couplings under different conditions. Through variation of the reaction conditions (catalysts, bases and solvents), appearance, surface area and emission properties of the formed CMPs were significantly altered. Wet-chemical, acid-mediated digestion and analysis of the resulting struts of these otherwise insoluble networks give insight into the molecular setup.

Crystalline domains are the regions where polymer chains are aligned in an orderly manner and held together in proximity by intermolecular forces. For example, chains in the crystalline domains of polyethylene and nylon are bound together by van der Waals...
