In this book we have emphasized the importance of the stmcture-fonction relationship in the design of the synthetic strategy. The employed synthetic route paves the way for the formation of the targeted framework having desired properties owing to its individual components. These obtained attributes, such as high surface area, conjugation of Jt electrons, presence of catalytically active moieties etc., can be exploited in various fields of gas sorption, optoelectronics and catalysis. Based on the same correlation between structure and properties, we will justify how PAFs are comparable or better in some cases than other microporous polymer frameworks. A comparison of different porous polymers with respect to their structural framework, pore size, surface area and major applications has been tabulated (Table 1.1).
