Abstract
The present invention provides for a method for modifying a covalent organic framework (COF), the method comprising: contacting a COF comprising an imine group with a phenylacetylene in, or to form, a mixture, in a suitable reaction condition for converting the imine group into a quinoline group, and COF comprising a quinolone group. The present invention also provides for a superhydrophobic surface comprising a solid surface coated with or comprising the covalent organic framework (COF).
Claims19
A method for modifying a covalent organic framework (COF), the method comprising:
- (a) contacting a COF comprising an imine group with a phenylacetylene in, or to form, a mixture, in a suitable reaction condition for converting the imine group into a quinoline group,
- (b) optionally heating the COF comprising an imine group and the phenylacetylene,
- (c) optionally cooling the mixture,
- (d) optionally separating or isolating a solid precipitate formed from the rest of the mixture, and
- (e) optionally washing the mixture and/or the separated or isolated solid precipitate with a second organic solvent.
A covalent organic framework (COF) comprising a quinolone group.
