Covalent organic frameworks
Abstract
The first members of covalent organic frameworks (COF) have been designed and successfully synthesized by condensation reactions of phenyl diboronic acid C6H4[B(OH)2]2 and hexahydroxytriphenylene C18H6(OH)6. The high crystallinity of the products (C3H2BO)6 (C9H12)1 (COF-1) and C9H4BO2 (COF-5) has allowed definitive resolution of their structure by powder X-ray diffraction methods which reveal expanded porous graphitic layers that are either staggered (COF-1, P63/mmc) or eclipsed (COF-5, P6/mmm). They exhibit high thermal stability (to temperatures up to 500- to 600-C), permanent porosity, and high surface areas (711 and 1590 m2/g, respectively) surpassing those of related inorganic frameworks. A similar approach has been used for the design of other extended structures.
