Thermally/hydrolytically stable covalent organic frameworks from a rigid macrocyclic host

Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 Jan 25;50(7):788-91. doi: 10.1039/c3cc47652a.

Abstract

Two new 2D COFs were synthesized from triformylcyclotrianisylene, which show not only thermal stability but also hydrolytic stability. CTV-COF-1 with smaller pore size stored a high hydrogen level of 1.3 wt% at low pressure, while CTV-COF-2 with larger pore size showed superior carbon dioxide uptake, up to 250 cm(3) g(-1) at 298 K and 50 bar.
