“…In particular, C-C bond formation reactionsnamely, Pd-catalyzed Sonogashira-Hagira [6][7][8][9][10][11] and SuzukiMiyura cross-coupling reactions, 12,13 Ni-catalyzed Yamamototype Ullmann reaction, 14-21 cyclotrimerization [22][23][24] and FriedelCrafts reactions 25 -played a significant role in the synthesis of several nanoporous polymers, including, conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs), 6-9, 12, 16 porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs), 14,15,17,22,26,27 porous polymer networks (PPNs), 18,20 porous organic polymers (POPs) [28][29][30][31] and hypercrosslinked polymers (HCPs). 25,[32][33][34] Especially, PAFs and PPNs showed exceptional surface areas up to 6461 m 2 g -1 along with good physicochemical stability.…”
