Abstract

Figure 11. Synthesis and applications of hydroxy-functionalized COFs for photocatalytic H 2 O 2 generation. (a) Scheme of the synthesis of XH-COFs (where, X = 0, 1, 2 and 3). (b) Iminol-to-ketoenamine tautomerism in the 0-3-COFs through proton transfer. (c) PXRD pattern of XH-COFs.

Covalent Organic Frameworks as Potential Drug Carriers and Chemotherapeutic Agents for Ovarian Cancers

“…The development of unique porous materials with well-defined porous structures and carefully controlled porous environments is a well-investigated research domain that yields exciting two-dimensional (2D) covalent organic frameworks (COFs) for various applications. − The highly crystalline imine-functionalized COFs are associated with high chemical stability and are often projected as potential materials for various strategic applications such as gas separation, sensing, energy storage, catalysis, environmental remediation, and others. − This is due to facile synthetic protocols associated with the yield of COFs in which the ease of functionalization leads to the possibility of varying the surface and molecular properties. In recent literature, the use of imine-functionalized COFs for biomedical applications, particularly in cancer therapy, is quite limited .…”
