Abstract:Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) exhibiting kagome (kgm) structures are promising crystalline porous materials with two distinct pores. However, the challenge arises from the potential formation of the polymorphic square-lattice (sql) structure, which is undesired in some cases. To this, we introduce a novel linker design strategy featuring bulky functional groups, enforcing the preferred kgm structure, while hindering sql network formation. Implementing this design, we synthesized a terphenyl core-based tet… Show more
