Permanent Porous Materials from Discrete Organic Molecules—Towards Ultra‐High Surface Areas

Abstract

In recent years, the development of porous materials derived from discrete organic molecules made a substantial progress towards high-surface-area materials with distinct properties. One major advantage in comparison to existing, well-established porous polymers is their solubility, making such compounds potential valuable precursors for "processing porosity". One important parameter of porous compounds is their specific surface area. The possibilities to reach ultra-highsurface-area materials from this new type of porous compounds are critically discussed.

Thermally robust and porous noncovalent organic framework with high affinity for fluorocarbons and CFCs

“…This study opens up several questions 42 . Can the arms of 1 be extended to yield an isoreticular series 47 of more porous structures?…”

“…We have focused on fluorocarbons, hydrocarbons 42 and CFCs [43][44][45] as guests. The experimental design is illustrated in Fig .…”

Hydrogen Bonding in Supramolecular Crystal Engineering

“…But, in contrast to those well-established analogues, one major advantage of HOFs is solubility, which should allow easy characterization, purification, solution processability to thin films or membranes, and regeneration. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in organic molecular crystals that show permanent porosity [110,111].…”

Self assembled macrobicycle and tricycle cages containing pyrrole rings by dynamic covalent chemistry method

“…Organic cage molecules with three dimensional cavities containing functional groups remain an emerging field of research because of their applications in several areas [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Such cage molecules have been reported to recognize several analytes such as carbohydrate [9,10], hydrocarbons [11] and anions [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20], and have also been demonstrated for applications such as gas sorption [21][22][23][24], separation [25,26] and sensing [27,28].…”
