Hollow molecular structures known as COFs suffer from an inherent problem: It's difficult to keep a network of COFs connected in harsh chemical environments. Now, a team has used a chemical process ...

(Nanowerk News) A cutting-edge study has propelled the development of covalent organic frameworks (COFs), particularly imine-linked varieties, into the spotlight. Known for their tunable structure and ...

Metal-organic frameworks, commonly denoted as MOFs, are a hybrid porous material composed of both organic and inorganic groups. The structure of a MOF is crystalline and three-dimensional in nature ...

Rice University engineers have developed an innovative way to make covalent organic frameworks (COFs), special materials that can be used to trap gases, filter water and speed up chemical reactions.
