Covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs) are emerging as a promising molecular platform for photocatalysis. Nevertheless, the construction of highly effective charge transfer pathways in CTFs for oriented delivery of photoexcited electrons to enhance photocatalytic performance remains highly challenging. Herein, a molecular engineering strategy is presented to achieve highly efficient charge separation and transport in both the lateral and vertical directions for solar-to-formate conversion.

A new simple and easily synthesized multitarget sensor, (E)-N'-(4-(diethylamino)-2-hydroxybenzylidene)imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole-6-carbohydrazide (X), was designed and synthesized using imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole-6-carboxylic acid and 4-(diethylamino)-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde. X could be used as a sensor to detect In3+ in DMF-H2O buffer solution and detect Zn2+ in EtOH-H2O buffer solution through fluorescence enhancement with detection limits of 1.02 × 10-9 M and 5.
