Abstract:
Herein, we report the synthesis of a novel porous polymer, PS2, containing radially π-conjugated carbocycles and a linear phenylene backbone. The PS2-based membrane has a distinct small size cutoff (ca. 2.6 nm) and a major size at ∼1.5 nm for the size-selective separation of nanoparticles.
