Fluorescent microporous organic polymers: potential testbed for optical applications.
Fluorescent microporous organic polymers (MOPs) are an emerging class of porous organic materials with considerable technological relevance due to great promise in a range of applications, in addition to typical usage in gas storage and catalysis. In this respect, innovative optical materials have been developed based on MOPs. In this Concept article, a brief appraisal of the fabrication methodologies of fluorescent MOPs in the form of bulk solid as well as in nanoparticles, their optical attributes, and promising application potentials are presented.
