Covalent organic frameworks are a novel class of porous polymers, notable for their crystalline structure, intricate frameworks, defined pore sizes, and capacity for structural design, synthetic control, and functional customization. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of graph entropies and hybrid topological descriptors, derived from geometric, harmonic, and Zagreb indices. These descriptors are applied to study two variations of Marta covalent organic frameworks based on contorted hexabenzocoronenes. We also conduct a comparative analysis using scaled entropies, offering refined tools for assessing the intrinsic topologies of these networks. Additionally, these hybrid descriptors are used to develop statistical models for predicting graph energy in higher-dimensional Marta-COFs.

Natural polyphenolic antioxidants are widely present in foods such as fruits and vegetables, meanwhile applied in food processing and storage to prevent the formation of harmful compounds. While excessive antioxidants lead to negative impacts on human health. Hence, it is crucial to accurately detect antioxidant levels in order to enhance the overall nutritional content and food safety.

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.

Covalent labeling of RNA in living cells poses many challenges. Here we describe a structure-guided approach to engineer covalent RNA aptamer-ligand complexes. The key is to modify the cognate ligand with an electrophilic handle that allows it to react with a guanine at the RNA binding site.
