Single-crystalline twelve-connected nanographene-based covalent organic frameworks expand reticular chemistry complexity
By
Omar M. Yaghi
Summary
This article reports the design and synthesis of single-crystalline twelve-connected nanographene-based covalent organic frameworks (COFs), representing a significant expansion of reticular chemistry into more complex architectures. The research demonstrates the precise translation of molecular geometry into extended crystalline frameworks using nanographene building blocks with twelve connectivity points, achieving highly ordered porous structures. This work pushes the boundaries of framework complexity in COF chemistry.
