Project description:We describe the facile synthesis of several two-dimensional covalent-organic frameworks (2D COFs) as films by vapor-assisted conversion at room temperature. High-quality films of benzodithiophene-containing BDT-COF and COF-5 with tunable thickness were synthesized under different conditions on various substrates. BDT-COF films of several micrometer thickness exhibit mesoporosity as well as textural porosity, whereas thinner BDT-COF films materialize as a cohesive dense layer. In addition, we studied the formation of COF-5 films with different solvent mixture compositions serving as vapor source. Room temperature vapor-assisted conversion is an excellent method to form COF films of fragile precursors and on sensitive substrates.

Project description:The morphology of nanomaterials is one of essential factors for their unique properties. Herein, a hollow covalent organic framework with a flower-like structure (HFH-COF) was synthesized at room temperature. The synthesized HFH-COF has a very large specific surface area, mesoporous structure, excellent chemical stability, and good crystallinity. The special morphology endowed HFH-COF with high specific surface area utilization and rapid mass transfer rate, resulting in faster equilibration time and better extraction performance than spherical COF (S-COF). Subsequently, combined with high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS), an efficient and sensitive method was established for microcystins (MCs) detection. The developed method has low detection limits (0.6-0.8 pg mL-1), wide linear ranges (1.5-1000.0 pg mL-1, R ≥ 0.9993), and acceptable reproducibility (RSD ≤ 7.6%, n = 6). Real biological samples were analyzed by the developed method, and trace levels of MC-YR, MC-RR and MC-LR were detected. The results indicate that the synthesized HFH-COF is an ideal sorbent for efficient extraction of MCs from complex biological samples.

Project description:Room-temperature phosphorescent (RTP) single crystals of covalent organic polymers (COPs) are rarely reported due to the huge challenge in preparing single crystals from solutions as well as the difficulty in realizing RTP in metal-free organic molecules. Compared to other main group elements, tellurium is rarely successfully introduced into functional single-crystal COPs. Herein, we prepared colorless single crystals of a COP (CityU-21) through a reaction between tellurinyldibenzene and [1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-diyl-bis(phosphonic acid). Single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) analysis indicates that CityU-21 is a one-dimensional organic polymer through the covalent connection (Te-O-P bonds) between Te(Ph)2 moieties and [HO3P-Ph-Ph-PO3H] units. Due to the existence of one unreacted OH group in each phosphonic acid unit, multiple hydrogen-bonding interactions can be formed between adjacent polymer chains, which stabilizes the structure and promotes CityU-21 to form a pseudo-two-dimensional framework. Benefiting from the integrated effect of aromatic P[double bond, length as m-dash]O parts, the heavy atoms (tellurium), and multiple hydrogen bonds, single crystals of CityU-21 display RTP behavior with a lifetime of 179 ms @ 540 nm and 158 ms @ 565 nm, a photoluminescence quantum yield of 84.69% and an afterglow time of 1.2 s. Moreover, CityU-21 can maintain its crystallinity and RTP character with an afterglow time of up to 0.8 s after immersion in different solvents for 60 hours, which can address the issue that most single crystals of RTP small molecules lose their crystallinity and RTP properties after solvent treatment.

Project description:Synthetic control over chirality and function is the crowning achievement for metal-organic frameworks, but the same level of control has not been achieved for covalent organic frameworks (COFs). Here we demonstrate chiral COFs (CCOFs) can be crystallized from achiral organic precursors by chiral catalytic induction. A total of nine two-dimensional CCOFs are solvothermally prepared by imine condensations of the C3-symmetric 1,3,5-triformylphloroglucinol (Tp) with diamine or triamine linkers in the presence of catalytic amount of (R)- or (S)-1-phenylethylamine. Homochirality of these CCOFs results from chiral catalyst-induced immobilization of threefold-symmetric tris(N-salicylideneamine) cores with a propeller-like conformation of one single handedness during crystallization. The CCOF-TpTab showed high enantioselectivity toward chiral carbohydrates in fluorescence quenching and, after postsynthetic modification of enaminone groups located in chiral channels with Cu(II) ions, it can also be utilized as a heterogeneous catalyst for the asymmetric Henry reaction of nitroalkane with aldehydes.

Project description:Highly efficient removal of Hg(ii) has been previously achieved through the adsorption by functionalized covalent organic frameworks (COFs). Among these COFs, thioether groups need to be deliberately introduced into the pores of COFs through either a bottom-up synthesis or post-synthesis strategy. Herein, we report a simple mercury removal strategy that used a stable alkynyl (-C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C-) based covalent organic framework (TP-EDDA COF) as an adsorbent for Hg(ii) removal. Sulfur vapor was first adsorbed by the TP-EDDA COF due to the van der Waals interaction between adsorbed sulfur and alkynyl groups. The Hg(ii) removal capability was then evaluated for the sulfur loaded TP-EDDA COF. Our results exhibited a good Hg(ii) removal performance for the sulfur loaded TP-EDDA COF. It was deduced that s⋯π interaction between sulfur atom and the alkynyl groups of the COF skeleton caused an increase in the electron density of sulfur and the electronegative sulfur atoms acted as a soft acid to accept soft-basic Hg(ii). This strategy provides a convenient platform for COFs to cope with environmental issues.

Project description:As typical environmental endocrine disruptors and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, bisphenol A and ibuprofen in water supplies can cause great harm to the ecological environment and human health. In this study, magnetic covalent organic framework composites Fe3O4@COF-300 were synthesized by the hydrothermal method and used to remove bisphenol A and ibuprofen from water. Fe3O4@COF-300 could be rapidly separated from the matrix by external magnetic fields, and could selectively adsorb bisphenol A and ibuprofen in the presence of coexisting compounds such as phenol, Congo red, and amino black 10B. The removal efficiency of ibuprofen was 96.12-98.52% at pH in the range of 2-4 and that of bisphenol A was 92.18-95.62% at pH in the range of 2-10. The adsorption of bisphenol A and ibuprofen followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir model, and was a spontaneous endothermic process with the maximum adsorption amounts of 173.31 and 303.03 mg∙g-1, respectively. The material presented favorable stability and reusability, and the removal efficiency of bisphenol A and ibuprofen after 5 cycles was still over 92.15% and 89.29%, respectively. Therefore, the prepared composite Fe3O4@COF-300 exhibited good performance in the adsorption of bisphenol A and ibuprofen in water.

Project description:The contamination of water by per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS) is a pressing global issue due to their harmful effects on health and the environment. This study explores a cationic covalent organic framework (COF), TG-PD COF, for the efficient detection and removal of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) from water. Synthesized via a simple sonochemical method, TG-PD COF shows remarkable selectivity and sensitivity to PFOA, with a detection limit as low as 1.8 µg·L⁻¹. It achieves significant PFOA adsorption exceeding 2600 mg·g⁻¹ within seconds over several cycles in batch mode and complete removal at environmentally relevant concentrations in column adsorption. Results reveal unique adsorption behavior characterized by two phases, leveraging PFOA aggregation through hydrophobic interactions. Computer simulations elucidate the mechanisms underlying TG-PD COF's sensing, adsorption, and charge transfer dynamics. Our findings position this COF design strategy as a promising solution for combating PFAS contamination in water bodies worldwide.

Project description:In the environmental field, the advancement of new high-efficiency heavy metal adsorption materials remains a continuous research focus. A novel composite, covalent organic framework-modified biochar (RH-COF), was fabricated via an in-situ polymerization approach in this study. The COF-modified biochar was characterized by elemental analysis, BET analysis, SEM, FT-IR, and XPS. The nitrogen and oxygen content in the modified material increased significantly from 0.96% and 15.50% to 5.40% and 24.08%, respectively, indicating the addition of a substantial number of nitrogen- and oxygen-containing functional groups to the RH-COF surface, thereby enhancing its adsorption capacity for Cd from 4.20 mg g-1 to 58.62 mg g-1, representing an approximately fourteen-fold increase. Both the pseudo-second-order model and the Langmuir model were suitable for describing the kinetics and isotherms of Cd2+ adsorption onto RH-COF. The adsorption performance of Cd2+ by RH-COF showed minimal sensitivity to pH values between 4.0 and 8.0, but could be slightly influenced by ionic strength. Mechanistic analysis showed that the Cd2+ adsorption on RH-COF was dominated by surface complexation and chelation, alongside electrostatic adsorption, surface precipitation, and Cπ-cation interactions. Overall, these findings suggest that the synthesis of COF-biochar composite may serve as a promising remediation strategy while providing scientific support for applying COF in environmental materials.

Project description:Singlet fission can generate an exchange-coupled quintet triplet pair state 5TT, which could lead to the realization of quantum computing and quantum sensing using entangled multiple qubits even at room temperature. However, the observation of the quantum coherence of 5TT has been limited to cryogenic temperatures, and the fundamental question is what kind of material design will enable its room-temperature quantum coherence. Here, we show that the quantum coherence of singlet fission-derived 5TT in a chromophore-integrated metal-organic framework can be over hundred nanoseconds at room temperature. The suppressed motion of the chromophores in ordered domains within the metal-organic framework leads to the enough fluctuation of the exchange interaction necessary for 5TT generation but, at the same time, does not cause severe 5TT decoherence. Furthermore, the phase and amplitude of quantum beating depend on the molecular motion, opening the way to room-temperature molecular quantum computing based on multiple quantum gate control.

Project description:The development of two-dimensional (2D) magnetic semiconductors with room-temperature ferromagnetism is a significant challenge in materials science and is important for the development of next-generation spintronic devices. Herein, we demonstrate that a 2D semiconducting antiferromagnetic Cu-MOF can be endowed with intrinsic room-temperature ferromagnetic coupling using a ligand cleavage strategy to regulate the inner magnetic interaction within the Cu dimers. Using the element-selective X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) technique, we provide unambiguous evidence for intrinsic ferromagnetism. Exhaustive structural characterizations confirm that the change of magnetic coupling is caused by the increased distance between Cu atoms within a Cu dimer. Theoretical calculations reveal that the ferromagnetic coupling is enhanced with the increased Cu-Cu distance, which depresses the hybridization between 3d orbitals of nearest Cu atoms. Our work provides an effective avenue to design and fabricate MOF-based semiconducting room-temperature ferromagnetic materials and promotes their practical applications in next-generation spintronic devices.
