This report deligates about the creation of porous polymeric organic framework (POF) from dialkynes and poly(alkyne) with their discovery as an efficient set of purifier. POF showed efficient physisorption for dyes-fluorescein and rhodamine B. The material POF selectively released rhodamine B and not fluorescein. The material was recyclable over number of cycles during the adsorption-release cycle. Moreover, the thiol-functionalized POF expectedly showed chemisorption for mercury. Therefore, the prime attractive cause for such a material is its ability to recycle as well as its thiol functionalization toward the removal of heavy metal such as mercury.
