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.

Article Synopsis
  • Precise ion recognition is crucial for effectively removing harmful anions from water, but current methods have limitations, especially in water applications and selectivity issues.
  • A new neutral metal-organic framework (MOF) anion receptor has been developed that can accurately recognize specific anions even in the presence of competitive ions, maintaining selective adsorption.
  • The research proposes a unique radical-dominating mechanism to explain how and why this neutral MOF is so effective in anion recognition.

The effective capture and storage of volatile molecular iodine from nuclear waste is of great significance. 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.
