Metal–nitrogen–carbon (M–N–C) single-atom catalysts (SACs) show high catalytic activity for many important chemical reactions. However, an understanding of their intrinsic remains ambiguous because the lack well-defined atomic structure control in current M–N–C SACs. Here, we use covalent organic framework SACs with identical metal coordination environment as model to elucidate various centers A pH-universal trend is discovered among six 3d transition metals hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)...
Two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (2D-COFs) may serve as an emerging family of catalysts with well-defined atomic structures.
