Gas separation efficiency of covalent organic framework (COF) membrane can be greatly elevated through precise functionalization. A pair-functionalized COF membrane of 1,3,5-triformylphloroglucinol (TP) and isoquinoline-5,8-diamine (IQD) monomers in two and three nodes is designed and synthesized. TP-IQD is crystallized in a two-dimensional structure with a pore size of 6.5 Å and a surface area of 289 m g . This COF possesses N-O paired groups which cooperatively interact with C H instead of C H . TP-IQD nanosheets of ≈10 μm in width and ≈4 nm in thickness are prepared by mechanical exfoliation; they are further processed with 6FDA-ODA polymer into a hybrid membrane. High porosity and functionality pair of TP-IQD offer the membrane with significantly increased C H permeability and C H /C H selectivity which are 160 % and 430 % higher of pure 6FDA-ODA. The boosted performance demonstrates high efficiency of the pair-functionality strategy for the synthesis of separation-led COFs.

Encapsulating living cells within nanoshells offers an important approach to enhance their stability against environmental stressors and broaden their application scope. However, this often leads to impaired mass transfer at the cell biointerface. Strengthening the protective shell with well-defined, ordered transport channels is crucial to regulating molecular transport and maintaining cell viability and biofunctionality.

Neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, present formidable challenges in modern medicine due to their complex pathologies and the absence of curative treatments. Despite advances in symptomatic management, early diagnosis remains essential for mitigating disease progression and improving patient outcomes. Traditional diagnostic methods, such as MRI, PET, and cerebrospinal fluid biomarker analysis, are often inadequate for the early detection of these diseases.

sp-carbon-linked covalent organic frameworks (spc-COFs) are crystalline porous polymers with repeat organic units linked by sp carbons, and have attracted increasing interest due to their robust skeleton and tunable semiconducting properties. Single-crystalline spc-COFs with well-defined structures can represent an ideal platform for investigating fundamental physics properties and device performance. However, the robust olefin bonds inhibit the reversible-reaction-based crystal self-correction, thus yielding polycrystalline or amorphous polymers.

C aromatic isomers, namely para-xylene (PX), meta-xylene (MX), ortho-xylene (OX), and ethylbenzene (EB), are essential industrial chemicals with a wide range of applications. The effective separation of these isomers is crucial across various sectors, including petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and polymer manufacturing. Traditional separation methods, such as distillation and solvent extraction, are energy-intensive.
