In a nutshell, porous -organic- polymers are highly crosslinked and rigid analogues of conjugated polymers, which offer high accessible surface areas and hydrothermal stability. They can either be crystalline (a.k.a. covalent organic frameworks (COFs)) or amorphous (e.g. porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs), polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs)) depending on the reaction style. Although being promising for many applications, unveiling their full potential can only be possible through on-target syntheses.
