Conjugated polymers derived from thiophene or 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene derivatives have been widely investigated for use in organic thin-film transistors and organic photovoltaic devices. We describe here the synthesis of a series of conjugated microporous polymers formed by reaction of spiro-bis(...
