Design and structure–function interplay in covalent organic frameworks for photocatalytic CO 2 reduction

RR photocatalysts. A fundamental understanding of the structure-property relationship is quintessential for utilizing the precision of COF chemistry for developing next-generation materials combining activity, selectivity, and efficiency in a single system. Throughout this review, we have taken a closer look at how the critical design aspects and molecular engineering reciprocate towards augmenting the bulk photocatalytic properties of efficiency and selectivity. Understanding molecular engineering and structure-property relationships will be conducive to developing sophisticated systems to solve global crises in this burgeoning area of research.
