Materials genomics methods for high-throughput construction of COFs and targeted synthesis.

ABSTRACT: Materials genomics represents a research mode for materials development, for which reliable methods for efficient materials construction are essential. Here we present a methodology for high-throughput construction of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) based on materials genomics strategy, in which a gene partition method of genetic structural units (GSUs) with reactive sites and quasi-reactive assembly algorithms (QReaxAA) for structure generation were proposed by mimicking the natural growth processes of COFs, leading to a library of 130 GSUs and a database of ~470,000 materials containing structures with 10 unreported topologies as well as the existing COFs. As a proof-of-concept example, two generated 3D-COFs with ffc topology and two 2D-COFs with existing topologies were successfully
