Abstract Porous aromatic framework (PAF) microporosity is known to be strongly dependent on synthetic approach but little about why certain reactions yield significantly and consistently more porous PAFs. This article explores the connections between pathway, PAF defectivity, microporosity. Using a network disassembly strategy, we show that defectivity highly defective PAFs are associated with lower surface areas pore volumes. empirical association corroborated through systematic introduction of defects modelPAF, which results in significant reduction apparent area Taken together, these data suggest only efficient coupling should targeted for synthesis ultra‐high frameworks.
