The past decade has witnessed significant progress in dynamic covalent chemistry (DCC), and it has enabled easy access to a variety of combinatorial libraries, 2-D shape-persistent macrocycles, and 3-D molecular cages that target many important applications, such as drug discovery, biotechnology, molecular separation, light harvesting, etc. This presentation will focus on the design and synthesis of imine- or ethynylene-linked porous organic polymers via reversible metathesis reactions. The high chemical and thermal stability of these porous polymers and their great tunability in both pore volume and surface functionality represent great advantages. The structure-property relationship of these porous materials will also be discussed.
