The efficient syntheses of tetrakis(thiophenol)methane and of a new poly(disulfide) hyper‐crosslinked polymer based on the former monomer are described. Controlled de‐polymerization as well as surface post‐functionalization are successfully conducted on this novel material. Direct prove of post‐functionalization is obtained through solid‐state fluorescence emission spectroscopy, and the number of unreacted thiol‐functions on the surface of the polymeric material is indirectly quantified by de‐polymerization of the post‐functionalized material.
