Fabricating s-collidine-derived vinylene-linked covalent organic frameworks for photocatalysis

Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Sep 28;59(78):11728-11731. doi: 10.1039/d3cc03446a.

Abstract

Research into vinyl-linked covalent organic frameworks (COFs) has grown significantly in recent years due to various attractive properties. Herein, we design and synthesize two highly crystalline and stable 2,4,6-collidine-derived vinylene-linked 2D COFs. Both COFs can act as efficient photocatalysts to facilitate visible-light-driven aerobic oxidation. The TM-TBT-COF was observed to exhibit superior activity and recyclability owing to its excellent semiconducting properties.
