Rational construction of strong electron-transfer materials remains a challenging task. Herein, we show a design rule for the construction of strong electron-transfer materials through covalently integrating electron-donoring Cu(I) clusters and electron-withdrawing triazine monomers together. As expected, Cu-CTF-1 (Cu(I)-triazine framework) was found to enable strong electron transfer up to 0.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a class of extended crystalline porous polymers that possess unique architectures with high surface areas, long-range order, and permanent porosity. Substantial efforts have been devoted to the design and synthesis of COF materials for the capture of radioactive iodine.
