Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are crystalline organic frameworks consisting of a network structure made of covalent bonds.1,2) COFs are classified as porous crystalline materials similar to metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)/porous coordination polymers (PCPs) and zeolites. They include 2D COFs, which are constructed by stacking layers of 2D covalently bonded sheets, and 3D COFs, which are constructed by 3D connected frameworks. COFs are expected to be used as molecular storage or separation materials, catalysts, electronic materials, energy storage materials, battery materials, and drug delivery materials, due to their porosity, crystallinity, and structural diversity.
COFs are designed and synthesized by combining monomers, also called linkers, according to intended topology. TCI has more than 90 linkers in stock, and we are constantly adding new items to our catalog. Common linkers are shown below by functional groups.
Aldehyde Linkers
A type of COFs based on imine linkage, synthesized by condensation of aldehydes and amines, was first reported in 2009,3) and imine-based COFs have become the most widely reported COFs. One of the advantage of imine based COFs is their higher chemical stability compared to boroxines and boronate esters. In addition, a number of researchers have reported post-synthetic modification or functionalization of imine based COFs, e.g., COFs for CO2 capture were synthesized by post-synthetic modification and functionalization of imine-based structures.4) In 2012, β-ketoenamine-type COFs synthesized by using 2,4,6-triformylphloroglucinol (TPG, TFP) as an aldehyde linker were reported,5) and have recently attracted much attention because of their stability towards acids and bases.

Boronic Acid Linkers
The self-condensation of boronic acids to produce boroxines and the condensation of boronic acids and catechols to produce boronic esters are the first synthetic strategies to synthesize COFs.10)
Products
Other Linkers
COFs can also be constructed with linkers beyond imines, imides, and boroxines. COFs prepared using linkers other than amines, aldehydes, carboxylic anhydrides, and boronic acids could include those utilizing hydrazones, azines, C=C double bonds, etc.
For example:
- Hydrazone-type COFs synthesized with hydrazides and aldehydes, are known for their structural flexibility and significant potential for post-synthetic modifications.11,12,13)
- Ionic COFs synthesized using 1,2,3-triaminoguanidinium chloride, where the triaminoguanidinium cation reacts with an aromatic aldehyde to form the covalent linkages within the framework.14)
- β-ketoenamine-type COFs can also be derived by synthesizing precursors with urea linkage. After the precursor with highly-reversible urea linkages is formed, the "reconstruction" process transforms it into the final β-ketoenamine COF. Researchers can achieve a significantly higher crystallinity and surface area in the final β-ketoenamine COF by using this "precursor approach" with urea linkages.15)
