Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) meta-terphenyl ligand

serves as a synthesis intermediate for COFs that are applied in photocatalytic hydrogen reaction and up-conversion luminescence


5'-(4,4,5,5-Tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-[1,1':3',1''-terphenyl]-4,4''-dicarbaldehyde (CAS number 1033752-94-1), is a meta-terphenyl derivative that features a pinacolborane and two aldehyde groups. The presence of the pinacolborane and aldehyde functional groups allows for stepwise functionalisation of the molecules to enable sophisticated molecular design. A series of novel crystalline 2D COFs is prepared by using 5'-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-[1,1':3',1''-terphenyl]-4,4''-dicarbaldehyde as a C2 linker. The 2D COFs are highly conjugated and exhibit two-photon up-conversion luminescence.

The synthesis of those COFs is versatile as the core in between two 5'-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-[1,1':3',1''-terphenyl]-4,4''-dicarbaldehyde units can be altered to incorporate desired functional molecules through Suzuki coupling reactions. The resulting semiconducting COFs are employed in photocatalytic hydrogen generation with an evolution rate up to 1410 μmol g-1 h-1.
