Postsynthetic functionalization of 3D covalent organic frameworks

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Mar 25;49(24):2457-9. doi: 10.1039/c3cc40358k.

Abstract

We demonstrate a tandem truncation-functionalization strategy using the 3D covalent organic framework, COF-102. Allyl groups incorporated within the pore walls were subjected to thiol-ene coupling conditions, achieving high conversions and maintaining the crystallinity and permanent porosity of the parent framework.
