Abstract

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) represent a highly versatile class of crystalline porous materials, formed by the deliberate assembly of organic building units into ordered two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) structures. Their unique combination of topological precision and tunable micro- or mesoporous architectures offers unmatched flexibility in material design. By selecting specific building units, reactive sites, and functional groups, COFs can be engineered to achieve customized skeletal, porous, and interfacial properties, opening the door to materials with optimized performance for diverse applications. Among recent advances, high-connectivity 3D COFs have emerged as a particularly…
