This study presents the synthesis of a fluorescent covalent organic framework (COF) called PEPy-COF, using perylene and pyrene building blocks, through a one-pot condensation reaction. PEPy-COF crystallizes into 2D nanosheets with a cubic and prismatic crystalline morphology, exhibiting structural stability at temperatures up to 500 degrees C. X-ray diffraction and atomic-level simulations confirm its structural morphology. PEPy-COF shows a tetragonal framework with a high specific surface area of 772 m^2 g^-1 and a mesoporous nature with a pore size of 3.03 nm. It emits a bright blue luminescence under UV and visible light, making it suitable for temperature-sensing devices.
The synthesis of a fluorescent covalent organic framework (COF) using perylene and pyrene building blocks (PEPy-COF), via a one-pot condensation reaction is reported. PEPy-COF is crystallized into 2D nanosheets with a cubic and prismatic crystalline morphology and demonstrates structural stability at temperatures up to 500 degrees C. The structural morphology is confirmed using X-ray diffraction and atomic-level simulations. These 2D porous polymer sheets form a tetragonal framework that is found to have a high specific surface area of 772 m(2) g(-1). Based on the definition of porous materials, the network is mesoporous with an observed pore size of 3.03 nm, which is in good agreement with the material's calculated pore size. The experimentally obtained HOMO-LUMO band gap is 2.62 eV, confirming the semiconducting nature of PEPy-COF. PEPy-COF emits a shiny blue luminescence under UV and visible light. This luminescence intensity is temperature-dependent in solvents with different polarities and dielectric constants demonstrating that the PEPy-COF has potential use in a wide range of temperature-sensing devices. The fluorescence intensity ratio is similar for different temperatures under ultra-sound conditions and varying solvents.
