Abstract
Single crystals of three-dimensional (3D) polymer were prepared by the topotactic conversion of two-dimensional (2D) polymer single crystals at a pressure of 15 GPa at 600 °C. The x-ray single crystal study revealed that the 3D polymer crystallized in a body centered orthorhombic space group , and spherical monomer units were substantially deformed to rectangular parallelepiped (cuboidal) shapes, each unit being bonded to eight cuboidal neighbors via cycloaddition. The 3D polymer was electron conductive, in contrast with the nonconductive behavior of 2D polymers.
