Covalent organic framework
Videos
Covalent organic frameworks are a class of porous polymers that form two- or three-dimensional structures through reactions between organic precursors resulting in strong, covalent bonds to afford por
COF topological control through judicious selection of precursors that result in bonding directionality in the final resulting network. Adapted from Jiang and coworkers' Two- and Three-dimensional Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs).
Reversible reactions for COF formation featuring boron to form a variety of linkages (boronate, boroxine, and borazine).
Reversible reactions for COF formation featuring nitrogen to form a variety of linkages (imine, hydrazone, azine, squaraine, phenazine, imide, triazine).
Reversible reactions for COF formation featuring a variety of atoms to form different linkages (a double stage connecting boronate ester and imine linkages, alkene, silicate, nitroso).

…COFs particularly attractive for applications in gas storage, catalysis, sensing, and energy-related technologies. While at University of Michigan, Omar M. Yaghi (currently at UC Berkeley) and Adrien P Cote published the first paper of COFs in 2005, reporting a series of 2D COFs. They reported the design and…
