Abstract

Conjugated microporous polymers are synthesized through facile one-step direct arylation polymerization of a single monomer unit, 8,11-dibromodithieno[3,2-a:2′,3′-c]phenazine, without preactivation of C–H bonds using organometallic reagents. The resulting polymers exhibit hierarchical porous structures and a narrow bandgap of 1.5 eV.
