title: Metastable ionic diodes derived from an amine-based polymer of intrinsic microporosity.
abstract: A highly rigid amine-based polymer of intrinsic microporosity (PIM), prepared by a polymerization reaction involving the formation of Tröger's base, is demonstrated to act as an ionic diode with electrolyte-dependent bistable switchable states.
