Porous solids with high surface areas, thermal stability, and chemically robust nature have attracted great attention because of their applications in gas capture and storage, [1] water treatment, [2] and catalysis. [3] In addition to the commonly used porous materials in the industry such as zeolites, activated carbons, and molecular sieves, recent developments show that various classes of new porous solids have emerged, such as metal organic frameworks (MOFs), [4] covalent organic frameworks (COFs), [5] covalent organic polymers (COPs), [6] hypercross-linked polymers (HCPs), [3e,7] microporous organic polymers (MOPs), [8] porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs), [9] porous polymer networks (PPNs), [10] and benzimidazole-linked polymers (BILPs). [11] To be used in industrial scale, these materials are expected to be highly porous, thermally and chemically robust, and easily synthesized from inexpensive precursors. Although numerous materials have been reported so far, most have drawbacks such as difficult synthetic procedures, expensive and complex starting monomers, or require rare earth metals. So far, only a handful of these porous materials have proven relatively scalable with affordable synthesis. [12] Considering the availability of the precursors and reagents, Friedel-Crafts (FC) alkylation [13] is one of the most promising
