Abstract In recent years, the development of porous materials derived from discrete organic molecules made a substantial progress towards high‐surface‐area materials with distinct properties. One major advantage in comparison to existing, well‐established porous polymers is their solubility, making such compounds potential valuable precursors for “processing porosity”. One important parameter of porous compounds is their specific surface area. The possibilities to reach ultra‐high‐surface‐area materials from this new type of porous compounds are critically discussed.
