Abstract

Microporous polymer networks (MPNs) possess a high potential for such applications where high specific surface areas and extended π-conjugation (causing semiconductive properties) are a must. Some relevant experimental results for chemical and electrochemical generation of functional microporous polymer networks gathered during the last decade in our groups are here presented. Smart design of rigid 3D building blocks (tectons) allows to produce microporous polymers with specific surface areas up to 2200 m2 g−1. Microporous monoliths have been e.g. used for oil trap** from aqueous mixtures while thin MPN films showed a high potential in the optical and electrochemical detection of nitroaromatic explosives up to low ppb concentrations.
