Stable and soluble oligomers of porous organic cages through post-synthesized modification

Abstract

The homologous oligomers of porous organic cages (POCs) were fabricated through post-synthesized modification in a controlled way and moderate yields. The structures of these POC oligomers were confirmed by NMR, Maldi-TOF, FT-IR and DLS. The obtained POC oligomers exhibit very stable and symmetric structures and high solubility in common solvents.
