The vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), a common raw material in the plastics industry, is one of the environmental pollutants to which humans are mostly exposed. Thiodiglycolic acid (TDGA) in human urine is a specific biomarker of its exposure. TDGA plays an important role in understanding the relationships between exposure to the VCM and the identification of subgroups that are at increased risk for disease diagnosis. Therefore, its detection is of great significance. Here, we designed and established a ratiometric fluorescent sensor for TDGA by using Eu as a bridge connecting the covalent organic framework (COF) and the energy donor molecule 2,6-dipicolinic acid (DPA) and named it DPA/Eu@PY-DHPB-COF-COOH. The sensor not only possesses the advantages of a ratiometric fluorescent sensor that can provide built-in self-calibration to correct a variety of target-independent factors but also presents high selectivity and high sensitivity. Currently, there are only a few reports on the detection of TDGA, and to the extent of our knowledge, this report is the first work on the detection of TDGA based on a COF system; so, it has an important reference value and lays a solid foundation for designing advanced sensors of TDGA.

A highly sensitive, selective, and simple method for detecting uranyl ions (UO) is crucial for human health and environmental safety. Amidoxime-based nanomaterials have been widely employed for UO detection, but their higher affinity for vanadium than UO limits their practical applications. Herein, a novel covalent organic polymer fluorescent probe (TT-COP) for UO detection was innovatively developed by a one-step Schiff-base condensation reaction between 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and 2,4,6-triformylphloroglucinol (Tp).

Supramolecular chemistry promises that insights into contact between molecules will open up new directions to approach significant questions in science and society. In this spirit, Kraus et al. report the translation of fundamentally new dynamic covalent thioorthoester chemistry into metal-scavenging porous network materials and sulfur-rich, leakage-free cathode composites in lithium batteries (https://doi.

Porous metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs) have strong covalent and coordinate bonds that define the intrinsic pore of the cage. The intermolecular interactions between cages tend to be weaker, such that they rearrange during the solvent exchange process preceding gas sorption measurements. The reduction in crystal size that this often causes limits the availability of structural data that could enable understanding of observed gas uptake.

Caffeic acid is a key indicator of wine quality, but its sensitive and accurate detection remains challenging due to the lack of high-performance sensing materials. Metal/N-doped porous carbon (M/NPC) electrocatalysts with abundant catalytic sites are promising to address this issue. Herein, a FeCo nanoalloy encapsulated in NPC (FeCo@NPC) was designed and synthesized via a "covalent organic framework (COF) adsorption-pyrolysis" strategy.

Post-synthetic modification (PSM) offers a promising approach for tailoring the compositional, structural, and electronic properties of covalent organic frameworks (COFs), thereby enhancing their exciton dissociation ability and facilitating charge transfer. The effectiveness of these approaches is largely compromised by the harsh conditions, complexity, and alteration of the original structure. Therefore, developing a facile yet effective PSM for modulating COFs' properties without altering the original geometry and/or structure is a challenge.
