Abstract:Mimicking the interconvertible carbon allotropes of 2-dimensional (2D) graphene and 1-dimensional (1D) carbon nanotubes, herein we report the in-situ transformation of 2D conjugated covalent organic frameworks (COFs) sheet into 1D nanotubular structures via self-assembly the sheets at solvent interfaces. The facile “roll-the sheets” self-assembly resulted in coaxial nanotubes with uniform cross-sectional diameter, which was realized for aza-pyrene based COF instead of pyrene COF, although both possess very sim… Show more
