Polymers exhibiting solubility, conjugation and microporosity are processable and useful for a variety of applications. The polymers comprise repeating units which are linked together to form rigid macromolecular structures which do not exhibit space-efficient packing. The polymers may comprise aromatic structures, e.g. fused aromatic structures and/or multiply bonded aromatic structures, and may comprise solubilising groups such as for example branched alkyl groups or siliyl groups.
