A new class of diamino-substituted π-extended phenazine compound was synthesized, and its photophysical properties were investigated. The U-shaped diaminophenazine displayed photoluminescence in solution with moderate quantum yield. The diamino aromatic compound was found applicable to the poly-condensation with formaldehyde to form Tröger's base ladder polymer. The obtained microporous ladder polymer features high CO 2 adsorption selectivity against N 2 , most likely due to the presence of basic nitrogen atoms in the phenazine rings.
