A series of thiophene-based conjugated microporous polymers (ThPOPs) have been synthesized on the basis of ferric chloride-catalyzed oxidative coupling polymerization of multi-thienyl monomers. The structures of ThPOPs were confirmed via solid-state 13C CP/MAS NMR spectroscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The ThPOPs possess high porosities and their high Brunauer-Emmett-Teller specific surface area results vary between 350 and 1320 m2 gā1. The presence of abundant ultra-micropores at 0.50ā0.63 nm allows ThPOPs efficient gas (carbon dioxide, methane, and hydrogen) adsorption.
