Abstract
Constructing three-dimensional (3D) covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with novel topologies is one of the most effective strategies to enhance the diversity and complexity of crystalline organic porous materials. Herein, we have designed and synthesized a 3D COF (3D-OLC-aea-COF, OLC = Ordos Laboratory China) with an unprecedented aea topology, condensed from the 12-connected building units (triptycene-12-aldehyde) and the planar 3-connected building units. Structural simulations and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy successfully determined the crystal structure. Interestingly, the unique connection between two precursors creates novel cages with large cavities and small windows within the framework, which will likely bring valuable implications for guest molecular storage and nanoreactors. Notably, huge intrinsic free volume (IFV) of triptycene and the periodic arrangement of cages endowed 3D-OLC-aea-COF with excellent CO2 capture capability. This work not only enhances the topological diversity and structural complexity of 3D COFs based on high-connectivity building units (≥8) but also provides inspiration for designing targeted materials through structure–activity relationships.
期刊介绍:
The journal Chemistry of Materials focuses on publishing original research at the intersection of materials science and chemistry. The studies published in the journal involve chemistry as a prominent component and explore topics such as the design, synthesis, characterization, processing, understanding, and application of functional or potentially functional materials. The journal covers various areas of interest, including inorganic and organic solid-state chemistry, nanomaterials, biomaterials, thin films and polymers, and composite/hybrid materials. The journal particularly seeks papers that highlight the creation or development of innovative materials with novel optical, electrical, magnetic, catalytic, or mechanical properties. It is essential that manuscripts on these topics have a primary focus on the chemistry of materials and represent a significant advancement compared to prior research. Before external reviews are sought, submitted manuscripts undergo a review process by a minimum of two editors to ensure their appropriateness for the journal and the presence of sufficient evidence of a significant advance that will be of broad interest to the materials chemistry community.
