“…In this context, porous polymer (PP) materials are of growing interest, as a result of their potential applications in energy storage and removal of toxic environmental pollutants, such as CO 2 , dyes, iodine, chromates, metals, fluorides, and so forth. − In the last decade, many articles have been published on the synthesis and applications of such porous materials, and most of them consist of nitrogen-rich polymers (mostly polyaromatics) containing functionalities, such as amines, amides, triazine, and so forth. − In a majority of existing reports, a trade-off between the surface area and active functionality was noted and this restricts transportation of various guest species. Furthermore, post-polymer modification of PPs to enhance the surface functionality is also not fruitful, as it minimized the surface area and pore volume of the premodified systems . Therefore, hierarchical synthetic methodologies starting from molecular design to macroscopic network formation are highly recommended to maximize their performance.…”
