With permanent porosity and intrinsic crystallinity, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have great potential for solar energy conversions. However, the crystallinity of COFs necessitates reversible linkages like imine, leading to inadequate chemical stability. To overcome this, post-synthetic modifications (PSMs) transformed an imine-linked COF into a thiazole-linked COF, which exhibited improved stability and optoelectronic properties for photocatalytic oxidation reactions of organic sulfides under visible light irradiation. This work highlights the transformative power of PSMs for tailoring COFs in visible light photocatalysis.
With permanent porosity and intrinsic crystallinity, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have great potential for solar energy conversions. However, the crystallinity of COFs necessitates reversible linkages like imine, leading to inadequate chemical stability of COFs as photocatalysts. To overcome this inadequacy, post-synthetic modifications (PSMs) transform an imine-linked COF, TTI-COF, into a thiazole-linked COF, TTT-COF. The morphology and crystallinity of TTT-COF are similar to that of TTI-COF. Compared to TTI-COF, TTT-COF secures evident amelioration of stability and optoelectronic properties supported by both experiments and theoretical calculations. Consequently, these two COFs are exploited for the photocatalytic oxidation of organic sulfides. Under blue light-emitting diode irradiation, TTI-COF marginally impels the reaction. In contrast, TTT-COF emerges with significantly better activity for selective oxidation of organic sulfides with oxygen in ethanol. This work sheds light on the transformative power of PSMs for tailoring COFs in visible light photocatalysis for oxidations.
