Design and Synthesis of PIMs

It is important to note here that for the non-network polymers to have quite significant intrinsic microporosily (IM), limited rotational freedom is an essential requirement/ It is also interesting that one can manipulate the solubility of PIMs in solvents by varying the ratio of the aromatic ort/zo-dihalide and catechol units in the network/
