1-pot catalyst-free porous poly(aryl thioether) produced simply sodium sulfide and perfluorinated aromatics... bound together by sulfur linkers... single reaction create combination differing structures... polycondensation... bonds at particular atom over other possible atoms preventing random crosslink and enables control over porosity... pore size <1 nm, high surface area 753 m^2/g... remove organic micropollutants and toxic mercury ions water... photocatalysis and optoelectronics"
