Persistent covalent-organic framework (COF) radicals hold important applications in magnetics and spintronics; however, their facile synthesis remains a daunting challenge. Here, three -phenylenediacetonitrile-based COFs (named , , and ) were synthesized. Upon heat treatment (250 °C for CityU-4 and CityU-5 or 220 °C for CityU-6), these frameworks were brought into their persistent radical forms (no obvious changes after at least one year), together with several observable factors, including color changes, red-shifted absorption, the appearance of electron spin resonance (ESR) signals, and detectable magnetic susceptibility. The theoretical simulation suggests that after heat treatment, lower total energy and nonzero spin density are two main factors to guarantee persistent COFs radicals and polarized spin distributions. This work provides an efficient method for the preparation of persistent COF radicals with promising potentials.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) hold promise in heterogeneous metal catalysis benefiting from their robust, crystalline, and porous structures. However, synthetic challenges persist in prolonged crystallization times, limited metal loading, and uncertain coordination environments. Here, we present the rapid crystallization and versatile metalation of new acetylhydrazone-linked COFs (AH-COFs) by condensation of ketone and hydrazide components, featuring full conversion within 30 min under open-air and mild conditions.

Herein, we report enhancement in chemical stability of the imine-based porphyrinic cage PL by converting it into a robust carbamate porphyrinic cage, c-PL, through a two-step post-synthetic modification process. First, the imine bonds in PL were reduced to form an amine-based cage, r-PL, followed by carbamation using N,N'-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) to yield c-PL. The resulting carbamate cage exhibits high stability under acidic and basic conditions (pH 1-13) and in the presence of moisture.

The widespread use of imidacloprid (IMI) in pest control presents significant environmental challenges due to its persistence and low removal efficiency. This study introduces magnetic Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) functionalized with Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles (Fe₃O₄@HMN-COF, Fe₃O₄@MAN-COF, and Fe₃O₄@SIN-COF) as efficient adsorbents for IMI removal from water. These COFs, engineered with nitrogen-rich structures and extensive π-electron systems, achieve superior adsorption through π-π interactions, hydrophobic interactions, and hydrogen bonding.

Structural design and interface regulation are useful strategies for achieving strong electromagnetic wave absorption (EMWA) and broad effective absorption bandwidth (EAB). Herein, a monomer-mediated strategy is employed to control the growth of covalent organic framework (COF) wrapping flower-shaped Gd-doped FeNi (GFN), and a novel raspberry-like absorbent based on biomimetic design is fabricated by thermal catalysis. Further, a unique dielectric-magnetic synergistic system is constructed by utilizing the COF-derived nitrogen-doped porous carbon (NPC) as the shell and anisotropic GFN as the core.
