TL;DR: This template-free strategy enables the preparation of stable frameworks with mesopores exceeding 15 nm, which was previously unattained in the synthesis of MOFs by the ligand-extension method.

TL;DR: In situ cross-linking strategy for the preparation of polymeric molecular sieve membranes with hierarchical and tailorable porosity is reported, which could provide a possible alternative to 'classical' methods for the Preparation of porous membranes and, in some cases, the only viable synthetic route towards certain membranes.

TL;DR: In this article, a 3D Troger's-base-derived microporous organic polymer with a high surface area and good thermal stability was facilely synthesized from a one-pot metal-free polymerization reaction between dimethoxymethane and triaminotriptycene.

TL;DR: A soft chemistry synthetic strategy based on a Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction is developed for the textural engineering of phenolic resin with a robust mesoporous framework to avoid serious framework shrinkage and maximize retention of organic functional moieties.
