Abstract

Imine-linked covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are highly ordered polymer networks that are more chemically stable compared to their boron-linked counterparts making them more attractive for a variety of applications, including as energy storage devices, proton-conductive membranes, and catalytic supports. Furthermore, these imines linked COFs may be synthesized using a diverse spectrum of monomers, providing tremendous design freedom and versatility. We report a general method for synthesizing Imine linked COFs based on the Schiff-base condensation reaction of anilines. The synthesis of 4,4′,4′′-(benzene-1,3,5-triyltris(ethyne-2,1-diyl) trianiline, 4,4′-dicarbaldehyde, 4,4′-(ethyne-1,2-diyl) dibenzaldehyde (BPDA), and terephthalaldehyde (PDA) monomers produced by multistep coupling processes.
