Abstract
Membrane-based gas separations are crucial for an energy-efficient future. However, it is difficult to develop membrane materials that are high-performing, scalable, and processable. Microporous organic polymers (MOPs) combine benefits for gas sieving and solution processability. Herein, we report membrane performance for a new family of microporous poly(arylene ether)s (PAEs) synthesized via Pd-catalyzed C-O coupling reactions. The scaffold of these microporous polymers consists of rigid three-dimensional triptycene and stereocontorted spirobifluorene, endowing these polymers with micropore dimensions attractive for gas separations. This robust PAE synthesis method allows for the facile incorporation of functionalities and branched linkers for control of permeation and mechanical properties. A solution-processable branched polymer was formed into a submicron film and characterized for permeance and selectivity, revealing lab data that rivals property sets of commercially available membranes already optimized for much thinner configurations. Moreover, the branching motif endows these materials with outstanding plasticization resistance, and their microporous structure and stability enables benefits from competitive sorption, increasing CO2 /CH4 and (H2 S+CO2 )/CH4 selectivity in mixture tests as predicted by the dual-mode sorption model. The structural tunability, stability, and ease-of-processing suggest that this new platform of microporous polymers provides generalizable design strategies to form MOPs at scale for demanding gas separations in industry.

Abstract
Construction of macrocyclic hosts with a novel structure and excellent property has emerged as an intriguing undertaking for the past few years. Here, we reported the synthesis of shape-persistent triptycene-derived pillar[6]arene (TP[6]). The single crystal structure analysis revealed that the macrocyclic molecule adopts a hexagonal structure, featuring a helical and electron-rich cavity capable of encapsulating electron-deficient guests. In order to obtain chiral TP[6] from an enantiomerically pure triptycene building block, an efficient resolution of chiral triptycene was successfully developed through introducing chiral auxiliaries into triptycene skeletons. The 1H NMR and isothermal titration calorimetry investigations demonstrated that chiral TP[6] exhibited enantioselectivity toward four pairs of chiral guests containing a trimethylamino group, implying a significant promising application in area of enantioselective recognition.

Abstract
While polymers containing chain or ring motifs in their backbone are ubiquitous, those containing well-defined molecular cages are very rare and essentially unknown for the inorganic elements. We report that a rigid and dinucleophilic cage (PNSiMe3)2(NMe)6, which is chemically robust and accessible on a multi-gram scale from commercial precursors, serves as a linear and divalent connector that forms cage-dense inorganic materials. Reaction of the cage with various ditopic P(III) dihalide comonomers proceeded via Me3SiCl elimination to give high molecular weight (30 000-70 000 g mol-1), solution-processable polymers that form free-standing films. The end groups of the polymers could be tuned to engender orthogonal reactivity and form block copolymers. Networked cage-dense materials could be accessed by using PCl3 as a tritopic P(III) linker. Detailed mechanistic studies implicate a stepwise polycondensation that proceeds via phosphino-phosphonium ion intermediates, prior to Me3SiCl loss. Thus, metathesis between the dinucleophilic cage and polyhalides represents a general strategy to making cage-dense polymers, setting the stage for systematically understanding the consequences of the three-dimensional microstructure on macroscopic material properties.

Abstract
Although a large number of polymers that contain triptycene units in the main chains have been developed, no polymer design using 1,8-substituted triptycene has been reported to date. In this study, we investigated the properties of linear homo- and copolymers obtained by ring-opening polymerization of a triptycene monomer bearing a macrocyclic olefin linked at its 1,8-position and its copolymerization with cyclooctene, respectively. We found that the introduction of triptycene with this substitution pattern leads to nanoscale molecular ordering, thereby greatly improving the physical properties of the polymers. The key to this remarkable behavior of 1,8-substituted triptycene-containing polymers is the formation of a particular two-dimensional assembly of the triptycene units by nested hexagonal packing, which aligns one-dimensionally while folding the polymer chains into a well-defined layered structure. The polymer design using 1,8-substituted triptycene can be applied to other polymers, unless their main chain contains functional groups capable of a strong intermolecular interaction such as hydrogen bonding.

Abstract
Efficient olefin/paraffin separation is a grand challenge because of their similar molecular sizes and physical properties, and is also a priority in the modern chemical industry. Membrane separation technology has been demonstrated as a promising technology owing to its low energy consumption, mild operation conditions, tunability of membrane materials, as well as the integration of physical and chemical mechanisms. In this work, inspired by the physical mechanism of mass transport in channel proteins and the chemical mechanism of mass transport in carrier proteins, recent progress in channel-based and carrier-based membranes toward olefin/paraffin separations is summarized. Further, channel-based membranes are categorized into membranes with network structures and with framework structures according to the morphology of channels. The separation mechanisms, separation performance, and membrane stability in channel-based and carrier-based membranes are elaborated. Future perspectives toward membrane-based olefin/paraffin separation are proposed.

Abstract
Chemosensors play an important role in environmental protection, medical diagnosis and energy conservation. Although polyaniline and its derivatives and two-dimensional (2D) materials have been applied as chemosensors in many reports, the concept of two-dimensional (2D) polyaniline derivatives has not been achieved in chemosensors. Here, two kinds of two-dimensional (2D) polyaniline derivatives are designed and synthesized by template-free chemical polymerization. It can be found that these two two-dimensional (2D) chemosensors exhibit high selectivity and sensitivity to Cu2+ and N2H4. Moreover, it is noteworthy that one of the two-dimensional materials can achieve the limit of detection (LOD) of 45 nM and 8 nM for Cu2+ and N2H4, respectively. Especially, these results imply that this two-dimensional polyaniline derivative is promising as the chemosensor in sensing field.

Abstract
The vast majority of industrial chemical synthesis occurs in organic solution. Solute concentration and solvent recovery consume ~50% of the energy required to produce chemicals and pose problems that are as relevant as the synthesis process itself. Separation and purification processes often involve a phase change and, as such, they are highly energy-intensive. However, novel, energy-efficient technologies based on polymer membranes are emerging as a viable alternative to thermal processes. Despite organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) could revolutionize the chemical, petrochemical, food and pharmaceutical industry, its development is still in its infancy for two reasons: (i) the lack of fundamental knowledge of elemental transport phenomena in OSN membranes, and (ii) the instability of traditional polymer materials in chemically challenging environments. While the latter issue has been partially solved, the former was not addressed at all. Moreover, the few data available about solute and solvent transport in OSN membranes are often interpreted using inappropriate theoretical tools, which contributes to the spread of misleading conclusions in the literature. In this review we provide the state of the art of organic solvent nanofiltration using polymeric membranes. First, theoretical models useful to interpret experimental data are discussed and some misleading conclusions commonly reported in the literature are highlighted. Then, currently available materials are reviewed. Finally, materials that could revolutionize OSN in the future are identified. Among the possible applications of OSN, isomers separation could open a new era in chemical engineering and polymer science in the years to come.

Two new monomers [a pentiptycene-based dianhydride (PPDAn) and a pentiptycene imide-containing diamine (PPImDA)] and a pentiptycene-based polyimide [PPImDA-4,4'-hexafluoroisopropylidene diphthalic anhydride (PPImDA-6FDA)] have been synthesized and characterized by FTIR and 1 H NMR spectroscopy, gel-permeation chromatography, mass spectrometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, BET surface area, and X-ray diffraction. High-molecular-weight PPImDA-6FDA has remarkable thermal stability and excellent solubility in common organic solvents. It also has an extraordinarily high fractional free volume (0.233) owing to the presence of -C(CF3 )2 - units, the rigid diamine, and the pentiptycene moiety in the polymer structure. It has high CO2 permeability (812 Barrer) owing to poor chain packing, which is caused by the fact that its rigid groups veil the influence of the ethereal oxygen groups in its backbone. It has the highest CO2 permeability among all reported pentiptycene-containing polymers (about six times higher than that of the most permeable one) without sacrificing selectivity. The high free volume, good microporosity, high solubility in many solvents, and remarkable thermal stability of PPImDA-6FDA point to the great potential of this polymer for CO2 removal.
