Catalytic applications of recent and improved covalent organic frameworks

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are porous crystalline materials that have emerged as promising molecular materials in optoelectronic, catalysis, and gas storage applications. COFs exhibit unique features such as adaptability for various substrates, high chemical stability, tunability, ease of working, and recyclability that render them efficient catalysts. The current mini-review article discusses the synthesis and applications of COFs as catalysts. We hope that the present review will be highly beneficial for researchers working in the area of COFs and their applications in catalysis.

New Near-Infrared absorbing conjugated electron donor-acceptor molecules with fused tetrathiafulvalene- naphthalene diimide framework

Molecular materials that can absorb and emit light in the near-infrared (NIR) region are getting more and more attentions in many fields. In this paper, we report the synthesis, photophysical...

Borazatruxenes as precursors for hybrid C-BN 2D molecular networks

Synthesizing atomically thin, crystalline two-dimensional (2D) molecular materials which combine carbon with other elements is an emerging field requiring both custom-designed molecular precursors and their ability to organize into networks...
