Covalent organic frameworks based on Schiff-base chemistry: synthesis, properties and potential applications

Abstract: Covalent organic-frameworks (COFs) are an emerging class of porous and ordered materials formed by condensation reactions of organic molecules. Recently, the Schiff-base chemistry or dynamic imine-chemistry has been widely explored for the synthesis of COFs. The main reason for this new tendency is based on their high chemical stability, porosity and crystallinity in comparison to previously reported COFs. This critical review article summarizes the current state-of-the-art on the design principles and synthet… Show more

“…Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), 1 a variety of crystalline porous materials that are composed of light elements, have drawn considerable attention in the past decade due to their versatile applications in gas storage and separation, 2 catalysis, 3 sensing, 4 drug delivery, 5 and electronic devices. 6 Compared to other porous organic materials, such as conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs), 7 porous polymer networks (PPNs), 8 and porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs), 9 COFs allow for the atomically precise control of their architectures by changing the structure of their building blocks.…”

“…[12][13][14] However, despite the low potentials offered by catalytic electrodes, the cost of electrodes is not always viable when upscaled to industrial levels. [17][18][19] Thanks to the aforementioned proprieties, performing CO 2 reduction using molecularly defined compounds offer several advantages compared to classical solid-state counterparts. [13,16] The tunable nature and electronic characteristics of molecular catalysts give access to a large variety of catalysts with high activity, selectivity, and durability, as well as their ability to be integrated into sophisticated nanoassemblies.…”

“…[2][3][4] In this interest, the Schiff base, which is the condensation product of aldehyde (or ketone) and amine-containing compounds, 5,6 seems to be a viable ligand for sensing metal ions. 4,7,8 Schiff bases have shown several biological activities such as antibacterial, antifungal, antimalarial, anti-inammatory, and antipyretic.…”
