TL;DR: This study might provide a new possibility for the design and synthesis of functional CMPs containing electron-rich building units for effective capture and reversible storage of volatile iodine to address environmental issues.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple crosscoupling reaction was used to synthesize a CMPN with a surface area of up to 1368 m2 g−1 for CO2 and I2 adsorption.

TL;DR: Using an easy dip-coating method, superhydrophobic activated carbon-coated sponges were fabricated; those exhibited excellent absorption selectivity for the removal of a wide range of organics and oils from water, and also recyclability, thus showing great potential as efficient absorbents for the large-scale removal of organic contaminants or oil spills from water.

TL;DR: Two conjugated microporous polymers containing thiophene-moieties obtained by the polymerization of 3,3',5,5'-tetrabromo-2,2'-bithiophene and ethynylbenzene monomers through the palladium-catalyzed Sonogashira-Hagihara crosscoupling reaction show high thermal stability and ultrahigh absorption performance for iodine vapour.
