Abstract

Framework Materials Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have exhibited more extensive connectivity (valency) and topological diversity than covalent organic frameworks (COFs), mainly because MOF linkers can connect from 3 to 24 discrete units or even infinity for one-dimensional rods. For COFs, linkers generally have a valency of 3 or 4 that reflect the valency of organic carbon. Gropp et al. created cubane-like linkers from 1,4-boronophenylphosphonic acid that could condense to make COFs with a valency of 8 or, by adding acid, could form large, single crystals with an infinite-rod topology.
