The successful incorporation of a thermally fragile imidazolium moiety into a covalent triazine framework resulted in a heterogeneous organocatalyst active in carbene-catalyzed umpolung reaction. The structural integrity of the imidazolium moiety was confirmed by combining solid-state NMR and XPS experiments.
