Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are an emerging class of porous crystalline polymers with a wide variety of applications. They are currently synthesized through only a few chemical reactions, limiting the access and exploitation of new structures and properties. Here we report that the imidization reaction can be used to prepare a series of polyimide (PI) COFs with pore size as large as 42 × 53 Å(2), which is among the largest reported to date, and surface area as high as 2,346 m(2) g(-1), which exceeds that of all amorphous porous PIs and is among the highest reported for two-dimensional COFs. These PI COFs are thermally stable up to 530 °C. We also assemble a large dye molecule into a COF that shows sensitive temperature-dependent luminescent properties.

The carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS)-based porous beads are still criticized for their limited number of binding sites, which impairs their efficacy in removing aqueous pollutants. To overcome this challenge, this work introduces the production of covalently crosslinked CMCS-based beads containing SiO and poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid) (PAMPS). The porous composite beads not only possess remarkable stability under acidic conditions, but also have abundant active binding sites for adsorption.

The simultaneous detection and removal of Ag from drinking water was crucial for preventing human health, while it was also extremely challenging due to bifunctional materials that combine both Ag adsorption and detection functions rarely being explored. In this study, a benzotrithiophene-based covalent organic framework (TAPA-BTT) was synthesized and applied to detect and remove Ag. TAPA-BTT exhibited high crystallinity, a large specific surface area, and good thermal stability.

Liquid low-level radioactive waste at the Savannah River Site contains several species of mercury, including inorganic, elemental, and methylmercury. This waste is solidified and stabilized in a cementitious waste form referred to as saltstone. Soluble mercury is stabilized as β-cinnabar, HgS as the result of reaction between the mercury and sulfur present in blast furnace slag, one of the cementitious reagents.

Article Synopsis
- Vinylene-linked Covalent Organic Frameworks (V-2D-COFs) are advanced materials known for their stable, crystalline structures and excellent optoelectronic properties, but their synthesis is limited due to challenges with C═C bonds.
- Postsynthetic modification (PSM) offers a solution by allowing the introduction of functional groups into these frameworks, thus expanding their potential applications.
- The study demonstrates a thiol-ene click reaction to successfully modify two COFs, enhancing their properties and structural versatility, which could lead to new applications in areas like hydrophilicity and proton conductivity.
