Graphical Abstract

Thumbnail image of graphical abstract

Three structurally diverse polymers of intrinsic microporosity reversibly adsorb significant quantities of hydrogen (1.4–1.7 % by mass at 77 K) and represent the first examples of a new type of purely organic hydrogen storage material, which can be tailored to meet the specific requirements of hydrogen physisorption.
