Abstract
Exploring vinylene-linked nanoporous covalent organic framework (COF) materials has become a valuable research focus due to their various outstanding properties. However, only a few examples have been reported to construct vinylene-linked COFs, which seriously restricted their applications. Herein, two COFs linked by olefins TC-PT and TC-PB via the Knoevenagel condensation of 1,3,5-tris(4-cyanomethylphenyl) benzene and 2,4,6-tris (4-formylphenyl)-1,3,5-triazine or 1,3,5-tris (4-formylphenyl) benzene were designed and constructed, which possessed high crystallinity, remarkable porosity, and high structural, chemical, and thermal stability. The two nanoporous organic framework materials prepared can be used for catalytic organic reaction of phenylboric acid and its derivatives driven efficiently by visible light. It is noted that TC-PT with a donor–acceptor structure presented excellent activity, yield, and recyclability. We believed that this work would provide some precious insights for developing functional vinylene-linked COFs.
