The development of a heterogeneous catalyst through the combination of novel carrier and powerful catalytic active sites is of particular interest. Herein, the successful integration of an N-Heterocyclic carbene (NHC) moiety into a covalent organic framework (COF) was achieved by coupling 4,4′,4′′,4′′′-(pyrene-1,3,6,8-tetrayl) tetraaniline (PyTTA) and equimolar 5,6-bis(4-formylphenyl)-1-methyl-1H-benzimidazole (IM) and 2′3′5′6′-tetrafluoro-[1,1′:4′,1′′-terphenyl]-4,4′-dicarbaldehyde (4F) followed by ionization with 1-bromobutane (C4H9Br) and then deprotonation upon addition of a base. The resulting material exhibited promising heterogeneous catalytic activity towards transesterification reaction of glycerol with dialkyl carbonate. Moreover, good recyclability granted no substantial loss of activity upon five cycles. Combination of COFs and NHCs might synergize their characteristics, thus providing more possibilities for creating new patterns of catalytic reactivity.

Electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction under ambient conditions is a promising approach for ammonia synthesis, but it is challenging to develop highly efficient electrocatalysts. In this work, a hybrid of covalent organic framework (COF) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are developed for efficient nitrogen electroreduction with a high faradaic efficiency (FE) of 12.7% at 0.0 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) and a remarkable production rate of ammonia up to 8.56 [Formula: see text]g h[Formula: see text] mg[Formula: see text] at –0.2 V versus RHE. Experiments and theoretical calculations reveal that Ni centers are active sites for NH3 synthesis, while the [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] stacking between COF-366-Ni and conductive CNTs scaffold results in the rapid interfacial charge transfer. This investigation provides new insights on the rational design of organic–inorganic porous hybrids for efficient nitrogen conversion and ammonia synthesis at ambient conditions.
