Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have been designed and successfully synthesized by condensation reactions of phenyl diboronic acid {C6H4[B(OH)2]2} and hexahydroxytriphenylene [C18H6(OH)6]. Powder x-ray diffraction studies of the highly crystalline products (C3H2BO)6.(C9H12)1 (COF-1) and C9H4BO2 (COF-5) revealed expanded porous graphitic layers that are either staggered (COF-1, P6(3)/mmc) or eclipsed (COF-5, P6/mmm). Their crystal structures are entirely held by strong bonds between B, C, and O atoms to form rigid porous architectures with pore sizes ranging from 7 to 27 angstroms. COF-1 and COF-5 exhibit high thermal stability (to temperatures up to 500 degrees to 600 degrees C), permanent porosity, and high surface areas (711 and 1590 square meters per gram, respectively).

Current understanding and challenges of solar-driven hydrogen generation using polymeric photocatalysts

TL;DR: The use of hydrogen as a fuel, when generated from water using semiconductor photocatalysts and driven by sunlight, is a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels as discussed by the authors, however, our understanding of the key properties underlying their photoinitiated redox processes has not kept pace, and this impedes further progress to generate cost-competitive technologies.

Porous Polymer Networks: Synthesis, Porosity, and Applications in Gas Storage/Separation

TL;DR: In this paper, three porous polymer networks (PPNs) have been synthesized by the homocoupling of tetrahedral monomers and their porosity was confirmed by N2 sorption isotherms at 77 K. PPN-3 has the highest H2 uptake capacity among these three (4.28 wt %, 77 K).

An ordered mesoporous organosilica hybrid material with a crystal-like wall structure.

TL;DR: The surfactant-mediated synthesis of an ordered benzene–silica hybrid material has an hexagonal array of mesopores and crystal-like pore walls that exhibit structural periodicity, and it is expected that other organosilicas and organo-metal oxides can be produced in a similar fashion, to yield a range of hierarchically ordered mesoporous solids with molecular-scale pore surface periodicity.
