Research of covalent organic frame materials based on porphyrin units

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are one of the most rapidly developed porous materials and have exhibited high surface area and uniform pore size distributions as promising materials for the fields of gas adsorption, catalysis, chemical sensing, photoelectricity devices and energy storage. In this review, we summarized the recent advances on synthesis, structure, and application of porphyrin-containing COFs.
