Abstract

Here we choose a dihydronaphthyl-functionalized C₆₀ fullerene as a building block and utilize a novel solvent knitting strategy based on Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction to construct two kinds of novel porous materials by using dichloromethane (DCM) and 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) as solvents and external crosslinkers. The resulting porous materials show relatively high apparent BET surface areas and gas uptake abilities.
