Abstract

In recent times, there has been extensive exploration of Schiff base chemistry or dynamic imine chemistry for synthesis of covalent organic frameworks (COFs). Schiff base COFs are found to be very attractive for the applications in photocatalysis due to their dynamic imine chemistry and π-conjugated structures. Their extensive π-delocalization and donor-acceptor (D-A) framework enhances light absorption, charge separation, and electron transport, allowing for band gap tuning from UV to near-infrared absorption. Consequently, numerous investigations have been conducted to examine and comprehend the photocatalytic efficacy of Schiff base COFs. As a contribution, we present a comprehensive overview of recent…
