Aqueous two-phase system features with ultralow interfacial tension and thick region, affording unique confined space for membrane assembly. Here, the first time, an aqueous assembly method is proposed to fabricate covalent organic framework (COF) membranes. The solution containing polyethylene glycol dextran undergoes segregated phase separation into two water-rich phases. By respectively distributing aldehyde amine monomers phases, a series of COF membranes are fabricated at water-water...

Abstract Fabricating ultrathin covalent organic framework (COF) membranes toward high‐permeance molecular separations is highly desired yet challenging. Herein, a polyelectrolyte‐mediated assembly (PMA) strategy developed to fabricate ionic COF membrane for efficient CO 2 separation. The PMA allows facile control over the mode between polyethyleneimine (PEI) and TpPa‐SO 3 H, yielding PEI‐bridged ultra‐large nanosheets which are readily processed into with thickness down 8 nm. resulting...

Diamine-appended Mg2(dobpdc) (dobpdc4– = 4,4′-dioxidobiphenyl-3,3′-dicarboxylate) metal–organic frameworks are promising candidates for carbon capture that exhibit exceptional selectivities and high capacities CO2. To date, CO2 uptake in these materials has been shown to occur predominantly via a chemisorption mechanism involving insertion at the amine-appended metal sites, limits capacity of material ∼1 equiv per diamine. Herein, we report new framework, pip2–Mg2(dobpdc) (pip2...

In nature, nonheme iron enzymes use dioxygen to generate high-spin iron(IV)=O species for a variety of oxygenation reactions. Although synthetic chemists have long sought mimic this reactivity, the enzyme-like activation O2 form iron(IV) = O remains an unrealized goal.
