Reticular design and alkyne bridge engineering in donor–π–acceptor type conjugated microporous polymers for boosting photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

Abstract

Through the successful application of Suzuki and Sonogashira coupling reactions, we have synthesized Py–TPA and Py–TB–TPA CMPs, demonstrating impressive hydrogen evolution rates (HER) of 3633 and 16 700 μmol g −1 h −1 , respectively.
