Can COFs be crystalline, functional and highly stable at the same time? We call that question the COF trilemma. Bettina Lotsch will give answers at her Beilstein-Institut @beilstein-institut.bsky.social talk on January 26. Register at the link to attend: beilstein-institut.de/en/talks/cof-p…

The structural rigidity & chemical stability of COFs offer a platform for the integration of functional moieties in the backbone for targeted applications. Out recent Angewandte Chemie shows a way to install Acridine moieties in COFs for photocatalysis. TU Berlin @PieberLab UniSysCat - Cluster of Excellence

Just out in Angewandte Chemie! Meet Felix’s felix hernandez NR-60! A molecular nanoribbon with a 60-ring backbone and a 324-atom core! It’s soluble! It shows a high molar absorptivity 1,198,074 and a high molar fluorescence brightness 8,700! Theory by Advanced Modelling Lab 💻+⌬ (Manuel Melle)! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Our work on bulk synthesis of crystalline graphyne (graphene’s cousin) via alkyne metathesis just came out ⁦Nature Synthesis⁩. Congratulations to ⁦Yiming Hu⁩ and the team! Thanks to all collaborators. Once again, dynamic covalent chem rocks! nature.com/articles/s4416…

#GlobalWarming caused by greenhouse gas is a serious problem. We now present our first study on a porous crystalline material selectively adsorbing polyfluorinated carbons (PFCs). Congrats to The authors! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100….
