“…[10] The dimensional increase from linear conjugated polymers to 2D CPs is of particular interest due to the faster-evolving bandgaps [11] and enhanced chemical and physical properties, including chemical and thermal stabilities, and increased charge carrier transport compared to their linear counterparts. [12][13][14][15][16] Due to the atomically precise integration of (functional) building blocks into ordered and porous sp 2 -carbon-conjugated structures with π-delocalization in two dimensions, vinylenelinked 2D CPs have been demonstrated as an efficient light emitter, [17,18] artificial photosystem I, [19] in catalysis, [20,21] sensors, [22] energy storage, [23,24] and conversion. [25,26] Previously, the Knoevenagel [10,16,18,23,25,27] and other aldol-type polycondensations [20,24,28,29] have been employed for the synthesis of crystalline (cyano)-vinylene-linked 2D CPs.…”
