Abstract
ABSTRACTThis report describes a facile method by which, without using any surface-assisted growth or pre-organisation, free-standing two-dimensional (2D) covalent organic monolayers (COMs) were synthesised through condensation reactions of planar tri-aldehydes with A1/A2-diamino-substituted pillar[5]arene (DAP5). In the as-formed monolayers (DAP5-COM-1 and DAP5-COM-2), the tubular pentagonal pillar[5]arene units positioned out of the 2D polymer planes suppress efficiently the interlayer π-π stacking interactions. Both DAP5-COM-1 and DAP5-COM-2 can be transferred onto solid surfaces for further characterisation and were found to possess unusual fluorescence up-conversion property.
