• induced thiol–yne click reaction. Using this reaction, we could greatly enhance the CMP nanomembrane synthesis and further broaden the variability of the LbL approach.

• storage and separation as well as in organic electronics [8]. Among the microporous materials, conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) [9][10] or porous aromatic frameworks (PAF) [11] have favorable properties for many applications, since they combine a high chemical and thermal stability, which is

• microporous polymers (CMPs) are materials of low density and high intrinsic porosity. This is due to the use of rigid building blocks consisting only of lightweight elements. These materials are usually stable up to temperatures of 400 °C and are chemically inert, since the networks are highly crosslinked via

• microporous polymers (CMPs) [5]. Most of these networks have the advantage of high porosity, but they are all made through precious metal-catalyzed reactions, which elevates the synthesis cost and limits their mass production. Another type of C–C bonded porous networks are hypercrosslinked polymers (HCPs) [6

• functionalities [1][2]. Designing and synthesizing structures that respect all these criteria is a challenging task. Chemical and thermal stability can be achieved best by having robust C–C bonded architecture like in porous polymer networks (PPNs) [3], porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs) [4] or conjugated
