Abstract
Synthesizing COFs with hybrid linkage coupling with both reversible and irreversible natures remains a challenging issue. Herein, we report the synthesis of two rare COFs constructed by both reversible and irreversible linkages through a liquid-solid two-phase strategy. A systematic study reveals a one-pot, two-step reaction mechanism for the two COFs, the first step being a reversible Schiff base reaction and the second step being an irreversible Knoevenagel reaction. Interestingly, this hybrid linkage COF is found to show an outstanding photoenhanced uranium extraction performance. The results not only provide a general and green approach to develop the linkage chemistry of COFs but also enrich the synthesis toolboxes and application of COFs.
