Controlling the charge transfer between radical anions and cations is a promising way to tune the emission mechanism in electrochemiluminescence (ECL) systems. Here, the authors report a donor-acceptor based covalent organic framework, using triphenylamine and triazine building units, and demonstrate efficient ECL based on an adjustable intrareticular charge transfer.
