The synthetic control and functions of porous organic polymers (POPs) with N-heterocyclic carbene gold (I)(Au-NHC@ POPs) are described in this article. A series of Au-NHC@ POPs with tunable physical properties such as surface area and pore size distribution were first synthesized via Sonogashira chemistry by differing monomer strut lengths and concentration during polymerization; a controllable transition from nonporous to microporous and the ...
