Abstract

A new kind of piperazine-linked covalent organic framework (COF) was synthesized through the nucleophilic substitution reaction between octaminophthalocyanines and hexadecafluorophthalocyanines. The two-dimensional (2D) frameworks are in tetragonally shaped polygon sheets, which stack in an AA stacking mode to constitute periodically ordered metallophthalocyanine columns and one-dimensional (1D) microporous channels. The piperazine-linked COFs exhibit excellent chemical stability and permanent porosity. By virtue of the neatly arrayed phthalocyanine columns and inbuilt cationic radicals, the piperazine-linked frameworks are highly conductive. The conductivity values of NiPc-NH-CoPcF8 COF reached up to 2.72 and 12.7 S m-1 for pellet and film samples, respectively. Moreover, this p-type conductive COF exhibited a high carrier mobility of 35.4 cm2 V-1 s-1. Both the electric conductivity and carrier mobility set new records for conductive COFs.
