“…[8][9][10] To accommodate the target metal, a building unit with a suitable metal binding site is required to be incorporated into the framework, which usually meets complicated organic synthesis. Nevertheless, plenty of functional linkers have been successfully implemented into COFs, such as 2,2 0 -bipyridine, [11][12][13][14] phenanthroline, [15][16][17] porphyrin, [18][19][20][21][22] phthalocyanine, [23][24][25] salen, [26][27][28][29] hydroxy groups, [30][31][32] b-ketoenamine, 33 phosphine, 34,35 dehydrobenzoannulene, 36,37 among others. 9,10 As one of the most popular COFs featuring both high crystallinity and stability, Schiff base COFs possess uniformly distributed imine linkages, 38 which have been well studied in coordination chemistry.…”
