  abstract     = {{Concerns about increasing greenhouse gas emissions and their effect on

 our environment highlight the urgent need for new sustainable

 technologies. Visible light photocatalysis allows the clean and

 selective generation of reactive intermediates under mild conditions.

 The more widespread adoption of the current generation of

 photocatalysts, particularly those using precious metals, is hampered by

 drawbacks such as their cost, toxicity, difficult separation, and

 limited recyclability. This is driving the search for alternatives, such

 as porous organic polymers (POPs). This new class of materials is made

 entirely from organic building blocks, can possess high surface area and

 stability, and has a controllable composition and functionality. This

 review focuses on the application of POPs as photocatalysts in organic

 synthesis. For each reaction type, a representative material is

 discussed, with special attention to the mechanism of the reaction.

 Additionally, an overview is given, comparing POPs with other classes of

 photocatalysts, and critical conclusions and future perspectives are

 provided on this important field.

 Visible light photocatalysis is an important tool in organic synthesis,

 enabling the clean and selective generation of reactive intermediates.

 Current precious metal-based photocatalysts face limitations like cost

 and toxicity, fueling the search for alternatives like porous organic

 polymers (POPs). This review examines POPs' role as photocatalysts in

 organic synthesis, discussing representative materials, mechanisms,

 comparisons with other photocatalysts, and future prospects. image}},
