Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with a pore size beyond 5 nm are rare in this field. By adjusting interlayer interactions, different stacking modes and effective pore sizes can be achieved, leading to increased structural control and stability in large-pore COFs.
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with a pore size beyond 5 nm are still rarely seen in this emerging field. Besides obvious complications such as the elaborated synthesis of large linkers with sufficient solubility, more subtle challenges regarding large-pore COF synthesis, including pore occlusion and collapse, prevail. Here we present two isoreticular series of large-pore imine COFs with pore sizes up to 5.8 nm and correlate the interlayer interactions with the structure and thermal behavior of the COFs. By adjusting interlayer interactions through the incorporation of methoxy groups acting as pore-directing anchors, different stacking modes can be accessed, resulting in modified stacking polytypes and, hence, effective pore sizes. A strong correlation between stacking energy toward highly ordered, nearly eclipsed structures, higher structural integrity during thermal stress, and a novel, thermally induced phase transition of stacking modes in COFs was found, which sheds light on viable design strategies for increased structural control and stability in large-pore COFs.
