Abstract

Read online

Exploring new linkage chemistry for covalent organic frameworks (COFs) provides a strong driving force to promote the development of this class porous materials. Here, the authors report a strategy to synthesize COFs with azo linkages based on an in situ linker exchange strategy which transforms imine-linked COFs into their azo-linked counterparts, and explore the unique properties of azo-linked COFs.
