COFs = Covalent Organic Frameworks
A Tutorial Review Covalent Organic Frameworks Xiao Feng, Xuesong Ding, and Donglin Jiang Chem. Soc. Rev. 41, 6010-6022 (2012) (Review). DOI: 10.1039/C2CS35157A A Recent Comprehensive Review Covalent Organic Frameworks: A Materials Platform for Structural and Functional Designs Nature Reviews Materials 2016, 1, 16068. DOI: 10.1038/natrevmats.2016.68 COFs are composed of organic building blocks that are linked with covalent bonds, and can be designed via reticular chemistry. COFs are crystalline materials and possess permanent porosity. Organic porous polymers with low crystallinity or amorphous organic materials are not classified as COFs. COFs can be 2D and 3D in topology. The 2D COFs consist of layered two-dimensional polymer sheets and one-dimensional channels, whereas the 3D COFs consist of tetrahedral centers in the skeletons. The pores and skeletons of COFs can be precisely designed through the combination of monomer units with different geometry, size, and functions. The synthesis of COFs remains a challenge in organic and polymer chemistry. We focus on the synthesis of COFs utilizing dynamic covalent chemistry. We also focus on exploring the functions and applications of COFs, for challenging energy and environmental issues. http://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2012/cs/c2cs35157ahttp://www.nature.com/articles/natrevmats201668shapeimage_3_link_0shapeimage_3_link_1
