摘要
Exploring new linkage chemistry is of fundamental significance for covalent organic frameworks(COFs)to expand their structure and functional diversity.Herein,we report a strategy for converting azine linkage into urea-and thiourea-based fused-ring connections in COFs by criss-cross[3+2]dipolar cycloaddition of azine with HNCO or KSCN.The as-prepared COFs with cyclized linkages exhibited enhanced chemical and thermal stability by locking the dynamic C=N linkages in the progenitor.Moreover,functions could be introduced into the skeleton of COFs by this postsynthetic cyclization method,which enabled significant improvements in functionality,demonstrated by the studies on CO_(2)/N_(2) selective sorption,proton conduction,and Hg^(2+)adsorption.The use of this[3+2]cycloaddition strategy not only enriched the chemistry of linkage conversion for COFs but also offered a new way to fabricate fused-ring-linked COFs,thereby representing a high level of controllability on connectivity and functionality of COFs.
