A pyrimidine-modified covalent organic framework (COF-Pyr) was designed to be synthesized via the Povarov reaction. The nitrogen atom on the pyrimidine showed excellent coordination ability to metal ions. Their stable metal composite material (Co@COF-Pyr) exhibited remarkable performance for electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in 1.0 m KOH aqueous solution. The overpotential was 450 mV at 10 mA cm . The Co@COF-Pyr with large specific surface area (392 m  g ) and regular crystal structure provided free passage for H O to move and make them fully contact with the uniformly dispersed cobalt ions on the surface. Thus, the turnover frequency of Co@COF-Pyr was 0.1 s at the overpotential of 370 mV, which was higher than most reported OER catalysts. This work provided a new way to design and prepare nitrogen-containing heterocyclic functionalized COFs. They can be combined with metal ions to expand the application of COFs in the field of electrocatalysis.

The layer-stacking mode of a two-dimensional (2D) material plays a dominant role either in its topology or properties, but remains challenging to control. Herein, we developed alkali-metal ion-regulating synthetic control on the stacking structure of a vinylene-linked covalent triazine framework (termed spc-CTF) for improving hydrogen peroxide (HO) photoproduction. Upon the catalysis of EtONa in Knoevenagel polycondensation, a typical eclipsed stacking mode (spc-CTF-4@AA) was built, while a staggered one (spc-CTF-4@AB) was constructed using LiOH.

Ring-in-Ring Assembly Facilitates the Synthesis of a [12]Cycloparaphenylene ABC-Type [3]Catenane.

Cycloparaphenylenes (CPPs) represent a significant challenge for the synthesis of mechanically interlocked architectures, because they lack heteroatoms, which precludes traditional active and passive template methods. To circumvent this problem and explore the fundamental and functional properties of CPP rotaxanes and catenanes, researches have resorted to unusual non-covalent and even to labor-intensive covalent template approaches. Herein, we report a ring-in-ring non-covalent template strategy that makes use of the surprisingly strong non-covalent inclusion of crown ethers into suitably sized CPPs.

Covalent Organic Framework Nanofilm-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Mass Spectrometry for Rapid Screening of Parabens in Personal Care Products.

Rapid Commun Mass Spectrom

April 2025

State Key Laboratory of Environmental and Biological Analysis, Department of Chemistry, Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong SAR, China.

Rational: People are widely exposed to parabens in their daily life, but parabens are endocrine disrupting chemicals that pose a threat to human health. Therefore, establishing a rapid screening method to enhance monitoring of parabens is necessary. Herein, a covalent organic framework (COF) nanofilm-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS) method was established to screen parabens in personal care products (PCPs).

An innovative core-shell covalent organic framework (COF), FeO@COF (ETTBA-ND), was synthesized through a facile and energy-efficient method. This adsorbent facilitated magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE) of six AFs prior to LC-MS/MS analysis, achieving one-step purification and enrichment in food matrices. The successful synthesis of the adsorbent was confirmed using various techniques, with adsorption capacities ranging from 46.

In situ self-cleaning removal of emerging organic contaminants with covalent organic framework armed with arylbiguanide.

Electronic address:

An in situ self-cleaning covalent organic framework featuring arylbiguanide arms (Aryl-BIG-COF) was first developed to remove emerging organic pollutants such as propranolol (PRO) from water. The main breakthroughs addressed the scarcity of functional active sites, the impracticality of ex situ regeneration, and the rapid recombination of electronhole pairs in the application of COFs. Owing to the directional capture ability and electronic structure regulation of the arylbiguanide arms, the adsorption capacity and photocatalytic degradation rate of the newly synthesized COF increased by nearly four and seven times, respectively.
