Abstract
The adsorption/desorption of N2 at 77 K and the adsorption from aqueous solution at 298 K of four organic probe molecules of different sizes (phenol, 4-nitrophenol, orange II, naphthol green B) were studied for a phthalocyanine network polymer of intrinsic microporosity (PIM) and for an activated carbon (Darco 20-40 mesh). N2 sorption analysis gave similar surface areas for the PIM and the carbon (610 and 545 m2 g-1, respectively) but showed differences in pore size distribution, the PIM being essentially microporous (pore size <2 nm), with a high proportion of ultramicropores (
