Study reveals that cobalt ions, rather than the covalent organic skeleton itself, promote catalytic activity

a) Schematic diagram of the synthesis of TpBpy-Co COF. b) PXRD patterns of TpBpy and TpBpy-Co (Cu Kα1). c) N2 adsorption (filled) and desorption (empty) isotherm profiles at 77 K. Credit: Advanced Science (2024). DOI: 10.1002/advs.202413555 Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are less stable catalysts than previously thought, but they maintain high activity. COFs are promising designer catalysts, including in the…
