卟啉-硫醚基共价有机框架材料用于氧还原反应电催化剂

氧还原反应（ORR）是能进行能量存储的核心电化学过程。由于它的动力学速率缓慢,因此亟需制备出高活性的电催化剂来促进这一反应的速率。二维共价有机框架材料（2D COFs）的π-π堆积结构可赋予骨架高导电率,并且一维有序的孔道有利于促进中间反应体传输。因此,其在可再生能源领域中具有良好的应用前景,并有望作为能量存储与转化的强大催化平台。本文通过向2D COFs中引入金属卟啉单元及硫醚单元成功制备了两个2D COFs （JUC-600和JUC-601）。通过多种表征手段证明,这两个2D COFs均具有AA堆积的sql拓扑结构。通过电化学测试表明,Co²⁺配位的JUC-601具有更正的ORR起始电势（0.825 V）和半波电势（0.7 V）、更高的活性表面积（7.8 mF/cm²）,更低的Tafel斜率（58 mV/dec）。这主要是由于JUC-601的高比表面积和高孔隙率使得中间产物能更易在COFs的表面和孔道中接触和传输。此外,Co²⁺-卟啉单元以及硫醚单元的存在使其骨架整体的电子结构发生了变化,更有利于电子转移。这一工作不仅开发了新的二维卟啉-硫醚基COFs材料,同时也拓展了2D COFs材料在电催化领域的应用。     

Stable Immobilization of Nickel Ions on Covalent Organic Frameworks for Panchromatic Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution

Post-coordination design on covalent organic frameworks (COFs) is an efficient strategy for elevating the photocatalytic activity of organic moiety. However, the rigid skeletons and densely layered stacking of two-dimensional (2D) COFs cannot be flexibly adapted for specific conformations of metal complexes, thereby impairing the metal-COF cooperation. Here, we adopt a solvothermal method to immobilize nickel(II) ions into a 2,2′-bipyridine-containing 2D COF, forming a stable coordination motif. Such the complex remarkably enhances the photocatalytic performance, giving an optimized H₂ evolution rate of as high as 51 300 μmol h⁻¹ g⁻¹, 2.5 times higher than the pristine COF. The evolved hydrogen gas can also be detected upon 700-nm light irradiation, while its analog synthesized by the traditional coordination method is photo-catalytically inert. This work provides a strategy for optimizing the metal-COF coordination system and strengthening a synergy for electronic regulation in photocatalysis.     

Bimetallic Covalent Organic Frameworks for Constructing Multifunctional Electrocatalyst

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a new class of crystalline porous polymers comprised mainly of carbon atoms, and are versatile for the integration of heteroatoms such as B, O, and N into the skeletons. The designable structure and abundant composition render COFs useful as precursors for heteroatom-doped porous carbons for energy storage and conversion. Herein, we describe a multifunctional electrochemical catalyst obtained through pyrolysis of a bimetallic COF. The catalyst possesses hierarchical pores and abundant iron and cobalt nanoparticles embedded with standing carbon layers. By integrating these features, the catalyst exhibits excellent electrochemical catalytic activity in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), with a 50 mV positive half-wave potential, a higher limited diffusion current density, and a much smaller Tafel slope than a Pt-C catalyst. Moreover, the catalyst displays superior electrochemical performance toward the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), with overpotentials of −0.26 V and −0.33 V in acidic and alkaline aqueous solution, respectively, at a current density of 10 mA cm⁻². The overpotential in the catalysis of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) was 1.59 V at the same current density.

Selection of the friction electrode materials is crucial to the performance of a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG). In the present study, a metal–organic coordination complex containing organosulfonate counteranions with electron-donating ability was synthesized through the coordination-driven self-assembly approach under mild reaction conditions and was chosen as a positive electrode material to construct a triboelectric nanogenerator, exhibiting high-output performance with a peak value of short circuit current density of 98.6 μA and an output voltage of 1180 V. As a practical application, it was shown to light up 1488 commercial green LEDs and power an anticorrosion system device to protect metals from corrosion.

Research Progress in Covalent Organic Frameworks for Photoluminescent Materials

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are an emerging kind of crystalline porous polymers that present the precise integration of organic building blocks into extensible structures with regular pores and periodic skeletons. The diversity of organic units and covalent linkages makes COFs a rising materials platform for the design of structure and functionality. Herein, recent research progress in developing COFs for photoluminescent materials is summarised. Structural and functional design strategies are highlighted and fundamental problems that need to be solved are identified, in conjunction with potential applications from perspectives of photoluminescent materials.     

Linkages Make a Difference in the Photoluminescence of Covalent Organic Frameworks

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with structural designability and tunability of photophysical properties enable them to be a promising class of organic luminescent materials by incorporating well-designed fluorescent units directly into the periodic skeletons. The photophysical properties of COFs are mainly affected by the structural features, which determine the conjugation degree, charge delocalization ability, and exciton dynamics of COFs. To understand the relationship between COF structures and their photophysical properties, two COFs with the same pyrene chromophore units but different linkages (imine or vinylene) were designed and synthesized. Interestingly, different linkages endow COFs with huge differences in solid-state photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) for imine- and vinylene-linked pyrene-based COFs, which possess PLQY values of 0.34 % and 15.43 %, respectively. The femtosecond-transient absorption spectra and time-dependent density functional theory reveal the different charge-transfer pathways in imine- and vinylene-linked COFs, which influence the exciton relaxation way and fluorescence intensity. In addition, an effective white-light device was obtained by coating the vinylene-linked COF on a light-emitting diode strip.

Tetrathiafulvalene-based covalent organic frameworks for ultrahigh iodine capture

To safeguard the development of nuclear energy, practical techniques for capture and storage of radioiodine are of critical importance but remain a significant challenge. Here we report the synergistic effect of physical and chemical adsorption of iodine in tetrathiafulvalene-based covalent organic frameworks (COFs), which can markedly improve both iodine adsorption capacity and adsorption kinetics due to their strong interaction. These functionalized architectures are designed to have high specific surface areas (up to 2359 m² g⁻¹) for efficient physisorption of iodine, and abundant tetrathiafulvalene functional groups for strong chemisorption of iodine. We demonstrate that these frameworks achieve excellent iodine adsorption capacity (up to 8.19 g g⁻¹), which is much higher than those of other materials reported so far, including silver-doped adsorbents, inorganic porous materials, metal–organic frameworks, porous organic frameworks, and other COFs. Furthermore, a combined theoretical and experimental study, including DFT calculations, electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy, reveals the strong chemical interaction between iodine and the frameworks of the materials. Our study thus opens an avenue to construct functional COFs for a critical environment-related application.

The synergistic effect of physical and chemical adsorption of iodine in tetrathiafulvalene-based covalent organic frameworks (COFs) has been explored. The iodine adsorption capacity of these materials is higher than other materials reported so far.     

Embedding Hydrogen Atom Transfer Moieties in Covalent Organic Frameworks for Efficient Photocatalytic C−H Functionalization

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have emerged as efficient heterogeneous photocatalysts for a wide range of relatively simple organic reactions, whereas their application in complex organic transformations, like site-selective functionalization of unactivated C−H bonds, is underexplored, which can be mainly attributed to the lack of highly active organophotocatalytic cores. Herein through bonding oxygen atoms at the N-terminus of quinolines in nonsubstituted quinoline-linked COFs (NQ−COFs), we successfully realized the embedding of active hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) moieties into the skeleton of COFs. This novel designed COF (NQ−COF_E5−O), serving as both an excellent photosensitizer and HAT catalyst, exhibited much higher efficiency in C−H functionalization than the corresponding NQ−COF_E5. Specially, we evaluated the photocatalytic performance of NQ−COF_E5−O on ten different substrates, including quinolines, benzothiazole, and benzoxazole, all of which were transferred to desired products in moderate to high yields (up to 93 %). Furthermore, the as-synthesized NQ−COF_E5−O displayed excellent photostability and could be reused with negligible loss of activity for five catalytic cycles.     

Covalent organic frameworks

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a class of crystalline porous polymers that allow the atomically precise integration of organic units to create predesigned skeletons and nanopores. They have recently emerged as a new molecular platform for designing promising organic materials for gas storage, catalysis, and optoelectronic applications. The reversibility of dynamic covalent reactions, diversity of building blocks, and geometry retention are three key factors involved in the reticular design and synthesis of COFs. This tutorial review describes the basic design concepts, the recent synthetic advancements and structural studies, and the frontiers of functional exploration.     

3D Microporous Base‐Functionalized Covalent Organic Frameworks for Size‐Selective Catalysis

The design and synthesis of 3D covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have been considered a challenge, and the demonstrated applications of 3D COFs have so far been limited to gas adsorption. Herein we describe the design and synthesis of two new 3D microporous base‐functionalized COFs, termed BF‐COF‐1 and BF‐COF‐2, by the use of a tetrahedral alkyl amine, 1,3,5,7‐tetraaminoadamantane (TAA), combined with 1,3,5‐triformylbenzene (TFB) or triformylphloroglucinol (TFP). As catalysts, both BF‐COFs showed remarkable conversion (96 % for BF‐COF‐1 and 98 % for BF‐COF‐2), high size selectivity, and good recyclability in base‐catalyzed Knoevenagel condensation reactions. This study suggests that porous functionalized 3D COFs could be a promising new class of shape‐selective catalysts.     

Simple method for identification of skeletons of aporphine alkaloids from 13C NMR data using artificial neural networks

This paper describes the use of artificial neural networks as a theoretical tool in the structural determination of alkaloids from (13)C NMR chemical shift data, aiming to identify skeletal types of those compounds. For that, 162 aporphine alkaloids belonging to 12 different skeletons were codified with their respective (13)C NMR chemical shifts. Each skeleton pertaining to aporphine alkaloid type was used as output, and the (13)C NMR chemical shifts were used as input data of the net. Analyzing the obtained results, one can then affirm the skeleton to which each one of these compounds belongs with high degree of confidence (over 97%). The relation between the correlation coefficient and the number of epochs and the architecture of net (3-layer MLP or 4-layer MLP) were analyzed, too. The analysis showed that the results predicted by the 3-layer MLP networks trained with a number of the epochs higher than 900 epochs are the best ones. The artificial neural nets were shown to be a simple and efficient tool to solve structural elucidation problems making use of (13)C NMR chemical shift data, even when a similarity between the searched skeletons occurs, offering fast and accurate results to identification of skeletons of organic compounds.     

Radical Covalent Organic Frameworks: A General Strategy to Immobilize Open‐Accessible Polyradicals for High‐Performance Capacitive Energy Storage

Ordered π‐columns and open nanochannels found in covalent organic frameworks (COFs) could render them able to store electric energy. However, the synthetic difficulty in achieving redox‐active skeletons has thus far restricted their potential for energy storage. A general strategy is presented for converting a conventional COF into an outstanding platform for energy storage through post‐synthetic functionalization with organic radicals. The radical frameworks with openly accessible polyradicals immobilized on the pore walls undergo rapid and reversible redox reactions, leading to capacitive energy storage with high capacitance, high‐rate kinetics, and robust cycle stability. The results suggest that channel‐wall functional engineering with redox‐active species will be a facile and versatile strategy to explore COFs for energy storage.     

Tuning Local Charge Distribution in Multicomponent Covalent Organic Frameworks for Dramatically Enhanced Photocatalytic Uranium Extraction

Optimizing the electronic structure of covalent organic framework (COF) photocatalysts is essential for maximizing photocatalytic activity. Herein, we report an isoreticular family of multivariate COFs containing chromenoquinoline rings in the COF structure and electron-donating or withdrawing groups in the pores. Intramolecular donor-acceptor (D-A) interactions in the COFs allowed tuning of local charge distributions and charge carrier separation under visible light irradiation, resulting in enhanced photocatalytic performance. By optimizing the optoelectronic properties of the COFs, a photocatalytic uranium extraction efficiency of 8.02 mg/g/day was achieved using a nitro-functionalized multicomponent COF in natural seawater, exceeding the performance of all COFs reported to date. Results demonstrate an effective design strategy towards high-activity COF photocatalysts with intramolecular D-A structures not easily accessible using traditional synthetic approaches.     

Functionalized COFs with Quaternary Phosphonium Salt for Versatilely Catalyzing Chemical Transformations of CO2

Currently, it encounters great challenges to accomplish catalyzing various kinds of carbon dioxide(CO₂) conversion reactions efficiently with single catalyst, let alone control the interplay among catalytic efficiency and selectivity evenly. Here, we prepared a functional covalent organic framework, [PTPP]_X%-TD-COF[PTPP=3-bromopropyltriphenylphosphonium; TD=1,3,5-tri(4-aminophenyl)benzene-1,4-diformylbenzene], by immobilizing the quaternary phosphonium salt onto the skeleton of COFs through a post-synthesis strategy for versatilely catalyzing reduction of CO₂ and CO₂ fixation on epoxide and aziridine facilely. With the typical features of COFs(such as porosity and ordered structure) and catalytic activity of the quaternary phosphonium salt, [PTPP]_X%-TD-COF possesses an intensely synergistic effect for catalyzing the chemical transformations of CO₂. Noteworthily, the quaternary phosphonium salt functionalized COFs catalyze the CO₂ reduction reaction with amine and phenylsilane to produce formylated and methylated products under gentle reaction conditions with high selectivity and efficiency. Furthermore, [PTPP]_X%-TD-COF shows high catalytic ability in CO₂ chemical fixation reactions.

Regulating Relative Nitrogen Locations of Diazine Functionalized Covalent Organic Frameworks for Overall H2O2 Photosynthesis

Nitrogen-heterocycle-based covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are considered promising candidates for the overall photosynthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). However, the effects of the relative nitrogen locations remain obscured and photocatalytic performances of COFs need to be further improved. Herein, a collection of COFs functionalized by various diazines including pyridazine, pyrimidine, and pyrazine have been judiciously designed and synthesized for photogeneration of H₂O₂ without sacrificial agents. Compared with pyrimidine and pyrazine, pyridazine embedded in TpDz tends to stabilize endoperoxide intermediate species, leading toward the more efficient direct 2e^- oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) pathway. Benefiting from the effective electron-hole separation, low charge transfer resistance, and high-efficiency ORR pathway, an excellent production rate of 7327 μmol g⁻¹ h⁻¹ and a solar-to-chemical conversion (SCC) value of 0.62 % has been achieved by TpDz, which ranks one of the best COF-based photocatalysts. This work might shed fresh light on the rational design of functional COFs targeting photocatalysts in H₂O₂ production.     

Two-dimensional Covalent Organic Frameworks: Tessellation by Synthetic Art

Covalent organic frameworks(COFs) featuring designable nanoporous structures exhibit many fascinating properties and have attracted great attention in recent years for their intriguing application potential in sensing, catalysis, gas storage and separation, optoelectronics, etc. Rational design of twodimensional(2D) COFs through judiciously selecting chemical building blocks is critical to acquiring predetermined skeleton and pore structures. In this perspective, we review the reticular synthesis of 2D COFs with different topologies, highlighting the important role of various characterization techniques in crystal structure determination. 2D COFs with simple tessellations have been widely investigated, while the synthesis of complex tessellated COFs is still a great challenge. Some recent examples of 2D COFs with novel topological structures are also surveyed.     

Postsynthetic Functionalization of Three‐Dimensional Covalent Organic Frameworks for Selective Extraction of Lanthanide Ions

Chemical functionalization of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) is critical for tuning their properties and broadening their potential applications. However, the introduction of functional groups, especially to three‐dimensional (3D) COFs, still remains largely unexplored. Reported here is a general strategy for generating a 3D carboxy‐functionalized COF through postsynthetic modification of a hydroxy‐functionalized COF, and for the first time exploration of the 3D carboxy‐functionalized COF in the selective extraction of lanthanide ions. The obtained COF shows high crystallinity, good chemical stability, and large specific surface area. Furthermore, the carboxy‐functionalized COF displays high metal loading capacities together with excellent adsorption selectivity for Nd³⁺ over Sr²⁺ and Fe³⁺ as confirmed by the Langmuir adsorption isotherms and ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) calculations. This study not only provides a strategy for versatile functionalization of 3D COFs, but also opens a way to their use in environmentally related applications.
