Strategies for the Post-synthetic Modification of Porous Polymers

1 Strategies for the Post-synthetic Modification of Porous Polymers 

Protection and deprotection of functional groups is an important strategy in organic S3Tithesis. Particularly, trimethylsilyl ether (TMS), methotymethyl acetal (MOM) and tert-butoty carbamate (Boc) are three frequently used effective reagents in the protection of alcohols, phenols, amines, carbotylic 

Carbonization is another PSM strategy. This approach fabricates porous carbon by thermal treatment of POFs with or without a template. In the carbonization process, chemical bond breaking accompanies the formation of a novel porous framework, as well as shrinking of the pore size. Generally, the carbonized porous material exhibits strong host-guest interactions due to the overlapped force field and the enhanced polarity.
