Abstract

The development of three-dimensional (3D) covalent organic frameworks (COFs) holds significant promise for various applications, but the conventional uninodal or binodal design strategies limit their structural diversity. In this work, we present a novel trinodal strategy for the synthesis of 3D COFs featuring both microporous and mesoporous nanochannels. Using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), computational simulations, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), we demonstrate that employing an 8-c building block with reduced symmetry, which can be considered as 4- and 3-connected subunits, along with planar 4-c building blocks, results in an unprecedented [4 + 3 + 4]-c jcg net.
