3D Microporous Base‐Functionalized Covalent Organic Frameworks for Size‐Selective Catalysis

TLDR
Porous functionalized 3D COFs could be a promising new class of shape-selective catalysts in base-catalyzed Knoevenagel condensation reactions, according to their remarkable conversion and high size selectivity.
Abstract
The design and synthesis of 3D covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have been considered a challenge, and the demonstrated applications of 3D COFs have so far been limited to gas adsorption. Herein we describe the design and synthesis of two new 3D microporous base-functionalized COFs, termed BF-COF-1 and BF-COF-2, by the use of a tetrahedral alkyl amine, 1,3,5,7-tetraaminoadamantane (TAA), combined with 1,3,5-triformylbenzene (TFB) or triformylphloroglucinol (TFP). As catalysts, both BF-COFs showed remarkable conversion (96% for BF-COF-1 and 98% for BF-COF-2), high size selectivity, and good recyclability in base-catalyzed Knoevenagel condensation reactions. This study suggests that porous functionalized 3D COFs could be a promising new class of shape-selective catalysts.

Chemistry of Covalent Organic Frameworks

TL;DR: Since the organic constituents of COFs, when linked, do not undergo significant change in their overall geometry, it has been possible to predict the structures of the resulting COF, and this advantage has facilitated their characterization using powder X-ray diffraction techniques, which has allowed for the synthesis of COF structures by design and for their formation with the desired composition, pore size, and aperture.
