Exploring Multifunctional Hydrogen-Bonded Organic Framework Materials

ConspectusHydrogen-bonded organic framework (HOF) materials have provided a new dimension and bright promise as a new platform for developing multifunctional materials. They can be readily self-assembled from their corresponding organic molecules with diverse functional sites such as carboxylic acid and amine groups for their hydrogen bonding and aromatic ones for their weak π···π interactions to stabilize the frameworks. Compared with those established porous materials such as zeolites, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), and covalent–organic frameworks (COFs), it is much more difficult to stabilize HOFs and thus establish their permanent porosities given the fact that hydrogen bonds are typically weaker than…
