Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) hold great promise in molecular separations owing to their robust, ordered and tunable porous network structures. Currently, the pore size of COFs is usually much larger than most small molecules. Meanwhile, weak interlamellar interaction between COF nanosheets impedes preparation defect-free membranes. Herein, we report a series membranes through mixed-dimensional assembly 2D 1D cellulose nanofibers (CNFs). The 0.45-1.0 nm acquired from sheltering effect...
Abstract The construction of 2D and 3D covalent organic frameworks (COFs) from functional moieties for desired properties has gained much attention.

Abstract Although polymers have been studied for well over a century, there are few examples of covalently linked polymer crystals synthesised directly from solution. One-dimensional (1D) covalent that packed into framework structure can be viewed as 1D organic (COF), but making single crystal this has elusive. Herein, by combining labile metal coordination and dynamic chemistry, we discover strategy to synthesise single-crystal metallo-COFs under solvothermal conditions. The is rigorously...
Growth of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) as single crystals is extremely challenging. Inaccessibility open-structured single-crystal COFs prevents the exploration structure-oriented applications. Herein we report for first time a non-interpenetrated COF, LZU-306, which possesses open structure constructed exclusively via assembly. With high void volume 80 %, LZU-306 was applied to investigate intrinsic dynamics reticulated tetraphenylethylene (TPE) individual aggregation-induced-emission...
The marriage of dynamic covalent chemistry (DCC) and coordination is a powerful tool for assembling complex architectures from simple building units.
