Highly Porous Poly(arylene cyano-vinylene) Beads Derived through the Knoevenagel Condensation of the Oil-in-Oil-in-Oil Double Emulsion Templates

Conjugated porous polymers through the emulsion-templating polymerization process are typically prepared as monoliths, and the emulsions are cured via metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. Herein, we report the design and synthesis of well-defined, millimeter-sized conjugated porous polymer beads by combining an oil-in-oil-in-oil (O/O/O) double emulsion as a de novo template and an amino-catalyzed Knoevenagel condensation reaction as a...
