Multi-Amine COFs Linkers

COFs are crystalline porous networks formed by organic linkers through reversible covalent bonds. The linker size, symmetry, and connectivity in the synthesis of COFs predefine the geometry of the resulting framework. Among them, the condensation of aldehydes and amines to generate imine bonds is also one of the important linkers for the synthesis of COFs. Compared to boronic esters, they exhibit significantly higher stability, thus making the resulting imine-linked COFs useful for a wider range of applications. Imine COFs differ significantly from borate COFs in their higher stability to moisture. Although this stability also depends on the bound linker, it, together with the large library of available aldehyde and amine linkers and the possibility to construct conjugated π systems throughout the COF sheet, make imine bonds a very popular linking motif in COFs. Imine formation is by far the most common synthetic strategy used to construct COFs. By using multi-amine COFs linkers to synthesize COFs, various complex types of topologically structured COFs can be obtained to meet different functional requirements.
