Abstract We report herein for the first time the incorporation of a versatile organocatalyst, 4- (N, N-dimethylamino) pyridine (DMAP), into the network of a nanoporous conjugated polymer (NCP) by the “bottom-up” approach. The resulting DMAP-NCP material possesses highly concentrated and homogeneously distributed DMAP catalytic sites (2.02 mmol g− 1). DMAP-NCP also exhibits enhanced stability and permanent porosity due to the strong ...
