Three silicon and nitrogen-centered cyanate monomers tetrakis(4-cyanatophenyl)silane, tetrakis(4-cyanatobiphenyl)silane, and tris(4-cyanatobiphenyl)amine were designed and synthesized, which were then polymerized via thermal cyclotrimerization reaction to create highly porous cyanate resin networks with systematically varied nodes and linking struts. The chemical structures of monomers and polymers were confirmed by 1 H NMR, FTIR, solid-state 13 C CP/MAS NMR spectra, and elemental analysis. The products are amorphous with 5% weight-loss temperatures over 428 °C. The results based on N 2 and CO 2 adsorption isotherms show that the pores in these polymers mainly locate in the microporous region, and the BET surface areas are up to 960 m 2 g −1 , which is the highest value for the porous cyanate resin reported to date. The nitrogen-and oxygen-rich characteristics of cyanate resins lead to the networks strong affinity for CO 2 and thereby high CO 2 adsorption capacity of 11.1 wt % at 273 K and 1.0 bar. The adsorption behaviors of H 2 , CO 2 , benzene, n-hexane, and water vapors were investigated by correlating with the chemical composition and porosity parameters of the networks as well as the physicochemical nature of adsorbates.

The generalized nonlocal nonlinear Hirota (GNNH) equation has been widely concerned, it can be regarded as the generalization of the nonlocal Schrödinger equation, and can be reduced to a nonlocal Hirota equation. In this paper, we mainly study a GNNH equation and its determinant representation of the N-fold Darboux transformation. Then we derive some novel exact solutions including the breather wave solitons, bright solitons, some characteristics of solitary wave and interactions are considered. In particularly, the dynamic features of one-soliton, two-soliton solutions and the elastic interactions between the two solitons are displayed. We find that unlike the local case, the q(x,t) and $q^{*}(-x,t)$ of the GNNH equation have some novel characteristics of solitary wave, which are different form the classical Hirota equation.
