Article Abstract
We report, for the first time, a new synthetic strategy for the preparation of crystalline two-dimensional olefin-linked covalent organic frameworks (COFs) based on aldol condensation between benzodifurandione and aromatic aldehydes. Olefin-linked COFs can be facilely crystallized through either a pyridine-promoted solvothermal process or a benzoic anhydride-mediated organic flux synthesis. The resultant COF leaf with high in-plane π-conjugation exhibits efficient visible-light-driven photoreduction of carbon dioxide (CO) with water (HO) in the absence of any photosensitizer, sacrificial agents, or cocatalysts. The production rate of carbon monoxide (CO) reaches as high as 158.1 μmol g h with near 100% CO selectivity, which is accompanied by the oxidation of HO to oxygen. Both theoretical and experimental results confirm that the key lies in achieving exceptional photoinduced charge separation and low exciton binding. We anticipate that our findings will facilitate new possibilities for the development of semiconducting COFs with structural diversity and functional variability.

The catalytic reduction of high-valent metal oxysalts to their low-valent counterparts represents a pivotal route for environmental remediation and sustainable resource recovery. However, the inherently low redox potentials of certain oxysalts, exemplified by perrhenate (ReO), pose a persistent challenge for conventional reduction strategies. Herein, we report a rationally designed π-conjugated olefin-linked covalent organic framework (COF) catalyst, which incorporates isolated transition metal centers (M = Ni or Cu) to facilitate the γ-ray-powered catalytic reduction of ReO.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are emerging as a versatile class of hosts for heterogeneous photocatalysis. Herein, we present a nickel-decorated pyrene- and bipyridine-based olefin-linked COF (Ni@COF1) as a robust and recyclable catalyst for visible-light-driven aromatic Finkelstein and retro-Finkelstein reactions. The extended π-conjugation within the COF framework enhances light absorption, promotes charge transport, and facilitates in situ Ni(0) generation from the pre-installed Ni(II) centers.

The development of semiconducting materials for photoredox catalysis holds great promise for sustainable utilization of solar energy. Olefin-linked covalent organic frameworks (COFs), which are built by linking organic structs into crystalline frameworks through C=C bonds, have attracted tremendous attention in photocatalysis due to their saliant advantages such as extended π-conjugation, permanent porosity, exceptional chemical stability, light-harvesting and charge separation abilities. This review offers a comprehensive overview of recent new advances toward the development of olefin-linked COFs and their uses as artificial platforms for photocatalytic applications, like hydrogen evolution, carbon dioxide reduction and organic transformations.
