Abstract

The past decade has seen the development of microporous materials (i.e., materials containing pores of dimensions <2 nm) derived wholly from organic components. Here we review this nascent area with a particular emphasis on amorphous polymers that possess intrinsic microporosity (IM), which is defined as microporosity that arises directly from the shape and rigidity of component macromolecules. Although IM can be readily identified within soluble non-network polymers and oligomers, for network polymers it is harder to differentiate IM from template effects that are responsible for the microporosity within hyper-cross-linked networks. The numerous examples of microporous polymers assembled from rigid monomers by the formation of rigid linking groups are surveyed and their IM assessed. The potential applications of these materials are highlighted.
