A kind of pseudo-hypercrosslinked polymer resin was firstly synthesized via a continuous Friedel--Crafts alkylation poly-merization of benzene, diphenyl and their dichloromethyl derivatives. And the micromorphology and adsorption properties of theseresins were investigated. The results demonstrated that the novel resins have high-specific surface area (581.26-974.88 m2/g), high-pore volume (0.56-1.65 mL/g), small average porous radius (1.93-3.67 nm) and excellent adsorption properties for small non-polarorganic molecules.2008 Si Guo Yuan.
