A novel nitrogen-rich amorphous porous organic polymer has been synthesized using a microwave-assisted process. Its high chemical stability, reusability and poor solubility enable the use of the porous polymer as a metal-free heterogeneous catalyst for CC bond formation at ambient temperature under environmentally benign conditions.
