After comparison of inorganic, hybrid and organic porous materials, tetrazine based organic porous material was chosen as a target material since it was rigid material providing micro- to mesoscale pores and could do post-synthetic modifications through inverse electron demand Diels-Alder Reaction with different dienophiles. Such networks own the potential as catalysts after modifying with different metal chelation sites. Here, three strategies were provided to synthesize such materials. During of construction of building blocks through double Diels-Alder Reaction, reactivities of tetrazines and dienophiles were studied. The coupling study provided the information of which type of coupling reaction could be used as well as how it was proceeded. The Direct synthesis of tetrazine-based network through formation of tetrazines then broadened the variety materials that could be synthesized.
