Abstract
AbstractPore environment and aggregated structure play a vital role in determining the properties of porous materials, especially regarding the mass transfer. Reticular chemistry imparts covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with well‐aligned micro/mesopores, yet constructing hierarchical architectures remains a great challenge. Herein, we reported a COF‐to‐COF transformation methodology to prepare microtubular COFs. In this process, the C3‐symmetric guanidine units decomposed into C2‐symmetric hydrazine units, leading to the crystal transformation of COFs. Moreover, the aggregated structure and conversion degree varied with the reaction time, where the hollow tubular aggregates composed of mixed COF crystals could be obtained. Such hierarchical architecture leads to enhanced mass transfer properties, as proved by the adsorption measurement and chemical catalytic reactions. This self‐template strategy was successfully applied to another four COFs with different building units.
