A tetraphenylcyclopentadiene based multifunctional, solution processable, fluorescent, ultramicroporous polymer exhibiting high hydrogen uptake was employed for encapsulation of dyes to obtain enhanced white light emission in solution, nanoparticles, gel and transparent thin film. Hybrid nanoparticles showed a quantum yield of 35% with a high color rendering index.
