Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have emerged as a new type of crystalline porous polymers of great interest. However, their preparation requires long reaction times. Microwave-assisted synthesis (MAS) offers an interesting approach to increasing the reaction rate of chemical processes.

Recently, solid-state generators of microwaves appeared as a tool with improved control over power and frequency. Cerium oxide, despite its excellent catalytic activity, has not been prepared before using solid-state generators or microwave-assisted flow chemistry.
