Relationships Between Defectivity and Porosity in High Surface Area Porous Aromatic Frameworks (James R. Bour and co-workers) @BourLab onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Relationships Between Defectivity and Porosity in High Surface Area Porous Aromatic Frameworks **

Owing to their high apparent surface areas and robust chemical stability, porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs) are being investigated to address a variety of technological challenges where material...

This work also offers some insight as to why the apparent ultra high surface areas are so sensitive to changes in conditions, monomer purity, etc.

Check out our latest in ACIE. Here we show that high microporosity in PAFs is associated with efficient coupling reactions that generate few defects. This insight has implications on the design of new, potentially more scalable, approaches to these remarkable materials.

Our team's first paper is now out in Chem Comm. Check it out here👇👇 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti… Our studies of high surface area organic polymers were breaking the bank so we took a short detour to come up with a more friendly and scalable synthesis. 1/4

A Ni(COD)2-free approach for the synthesis of high surface area porous aromatic frameworks†

Porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs) are attractive materials for applications where high surface area and material stability govern performance. Most of the

Our solution was to adapt classic nickel mediated electrophile coupling conditions to the unique challenges in synthesizing these polymers. We now use this approach to make these materials on >1g scales without the need for a glovebox (Schlenk line still required). 3/4

Organometallic synthesis bootcamp day 2: a 1972 classic and the product of a long day of freeze-pump-thaws, cannulations, cannula filtrations. Next up, putting it to good use.
