A Photoresponsive Smart Covalent Organic Framework.

ABSTRACT: Ordered ?-columnar structures found in covalent organic frameworks (COFs) render them attractive as smart materials. However, external-stimuli-responsive COFs have not been explored. Here we report the design and synthesis of a photoresponsive COF with anthracene units as the photoresponsive ?-building blocks. The COF is switchable upon photoirradiation to yield a concavo-convex polygon skeleton through the interlayer [4?+4?] cycloaddition of anthracene units stacked in the ?-columns. This cycloaddition reaction is thermally reversible; heating resets the anthracene layers and regenerates the COF. These external-stimuli-induced structural transformations are accompanied by profound changes in properties, including gas adsorption, ?-electronic function, and luminescence. The results suggest that COFs are useful for designing smart porous materials with properties that are controllable by external stimuli.

Fabrication of Photoresponsive Crystalline Artificial Muscles Based on PEGylated Covalent Organic Framework Membranes.

Project description:Seeking new photoresponsive materials with high energy conversion efficiency, good mechanical properties, as well as well-defined photoactuation mechanisms is of paramount significance. To address these challenges, we first introduced crystalline covalent organic frameworks (COFs) into the photoactuator field and created a facile fabrication strategy to directly install photoresponsive functional groups (i.e., acylhydrazone) on the skeletons of COFs. Herein, an approach to use polyethylene glycol (PEG) cross-linked dimers as the building blocks of the COF-42 platform was developed and afforded a series of uniform and freestanding membranes (PEG-COF-42) with outstanding mechanical properties (e.g., high flexibility and mechanical strength). Notably, these membranes possessed a fast mechanical response (e.g., bending) to UV light and good reversibility upon blue light or heating. After an in-depth investigation of the photoactuation mechanism via various techniques, we proposed a mechanism for the photoresponsive performance of PEG-COF-42: configurational change of acylhydrazone (i.e., E ↔ Z isomerization) accompanied by an excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process intramolecularly transferring hydrogens from hydrogen donors (N-H) to hydrogen acceptors (oxygen in PEG). Moreover, attributed to the PEG moieties, PEG-COF-42 also demonstrated a vapor-responsive performance. This study not only broadens the application scopes of COFs but also provides new opportunities for the construction of multi-stimuli-responsive materials.

Water-dispersible PEG-curcumin/amine-functionalized covalent organic framework nanocomposites as smart carriers for in vivo drug delivery.

Project description:Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) as drug-delivery carriers have been mostly evaluated in vitro due to the lack of COFs nanocarriers that are suitable for in vivo studies. Here we develop a series of water-dispersible polymer-COF nanocomposites through the assembly of polyethylene-glycol-modified monofunctional curcumin derivatives (PEG-CCM) and amine-functionalized COFs (APTES-COF-1) for in vitro and in vivo drug delivery. The real-time fluorescence response shows efficient tracking of the COF-based materials upon cellular uptake and anticancer drug (doxorubicin (DOX)) release. Notably, in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate that PEG-CCM@APTES-COF-1 is a smart carrier for drug delivery with superior stability, intrinsic biodegradability, high DOX loading capacity, strong and stable fluorescence, prolonged circulation time and improved drug accumulation in tumors. More intriguingly, PEG350-CCM@APTES-COF-1 presents an effective targeting strategy for brain research. We envisage that PEG-CCM@APTES-COF-1 nanocomposites represent a great promise toward the development of a multifunctional platform for cancer-targeted in vivo drug delivery.

Covalent Organic Framework (COF-1) under High Pressure.

Project description:COF-1 has a structure with rigid 2D layers composed of benzene and B3 O3 rings and weak van der Waals bonding between the layers. The as-synthesized COF-1 structure contains pores occupied by solvent molecules. A high surface area empty-pore structure is obtained after vacuum annealing. High-pressure XRD and Raman experiments with mesitylene-filled (COF-1-M) and empty-pore COF-1 demonstrate partial amorphization and collapse of the framework structure above 12-15?GPa. The ambient pressure structure of COF-1-M can be reversibly recovered after compression up to 10-15?GPa. Remarkable stability of highly porous COF-1 structure at pressures at least up to 10?GPa is found even for the empty-pore structure. The bulk modulus of the COF-1 structure (11.2(5)?GPa) and linear incompressibilities (k[100] =111(5)?GPa, k[001] =15.0(5)?GPa) were evaluated from the analysis of XRD data and cross-checked against first-principles calculations.

Atomistic Insight Into the Host-Guest Interaction of a Photoresponsive Metal-Organic Framework.

Project description:Photoresponsive functional materials have gained increasing attention due to their externally tunable properties. Molecular switches embedded in these materials enable the control of phenomena at the atomic level by light. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) provide a versatile platform to immobilize these photoresponsive units within defined molecular environments to optimize the intended functionality. For the application of these photoresponsive MOFs (pho-MOFs), it is crucial to understand the influence of the switching state on the host-guest interaction. Therefore, we present a detailed insight into the impact of molecular switching on the intermolecular interactions. By performing atomistic simulations, we revealed that due to different interactions of the guest molecules with the two isomeric states of an azobenzene-functionalized MOF, both the adsorption sites and the orientation of the molecules within the pores are modulated. By shedding light on the host-guest interaction, our study highlights the unique potential of pho-MOFs to tailor molecular interaction by light.

Oriented thin films of a benzodithiophene covalent organic framework.

Project description:A mesoporous electron-donor covalent organic framework based on a benzodithiophene core, BDT-COF, was obtained through condensation of a benzodithiophene-containing diboronic acid and hexahydroxytriphenylene (HHTP). BDT-COF is a highly porous, crystalline, and thermally stable material, which can be handled in air. Highly porous, crystalline oriented thin BDT-COF films were synthesized from solution on different polycrystalline surfaces, indicating the generality of the synthetic strategy. The favorable orientation, crystallinity, porosity, and the growth mode of the thin BDT-COF films were studied by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), 2D grazing incidence diffraction (GID), transmission and scanning electron microscopy (TEM, SEM), and krypton sorption. The highly porous thin BDT-COF films were infiltrated with soluble fullerene derivatives, such as [6,6]-phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM), to obtain an interpenetrated electron-donor/acceptor host-guest system. Light-induced charge transfer from the BDT-framework to PCBM acceptor molecules was indicated by efficient photoluminescence quenching. Moreover, we monitored the dynamics of photogenerated hole-polarons via transient absorption spectroscopy. This work represents a combined study of the structural and optical properties of highly oriented mesoporous thin COF films serving as host for the generation of periodic interpenetrated electron-donor and electron-acceptor systems.

Ultralight covalent organic framework/graphene aerogels with hierarchical porosity.

Project description:The fabrication of macroscopic objects from covalent organic frameworks (COFs) is challenging but of great significance to fully exploit their chemical functionality and porosity. Herein, COF/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) aerogels synthesized by a hydrothermal approach are presented. The COFs grow in situ along the surface of the 2D graphene sheets, which are stacked in a 3D fashion, forming an ultralight aerogel with a hierarchical porous structure after freeze-drying, which can be compressed and expanded several times without breaking. The COF/rGO aerogels show excellent absorption capacity (uptake of >200 g organic solvent/g aerogel), which can be used for removal of various organic liquids from water. Moreover, as active material of supercapacitor devices, the aerogel delivers a high capacitance of 269 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 and cycling stability over 5000 cycles.

In Silico Design of Covalent Organic Framework-Based Electrocatalysts.

Project description:Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are an emerging type of porous crystalline material for efficient catalysis of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, it remains a grand challenge to address the best candidates from thousands of possible COFs. Here, we report a methodology for the design of the best candidate screened from 100 virtual M-N x O y (M = 3d transition metal)-based model catalysts via density functional theory (DFT) and machine learning (ML). The intrinsic descriptors of OER activity of M-N x O y were addressed by the machine learning and used for predicting the best structure with OER performances. One of the predicted structures with a Ni-N2O2 unit is subsequently employed to synthesize the corresponding Ni-COF. X-ray absorption spectra characterizations, including XANES and EXAFS, validate the successful synthesis of the Ni-N2O2 coordination environment. The studies of electrocatalytic activities confirm that Ni-COF is comparable with the best reported COF-based OER catalysts. The current density reaches 10 mA cm-2 at a low overpotential of 335 mV. Furthermore, Ni-COF is stable for over 65 h during electrochemical testing. This work provides an accelerating strategy for the design of new porous crystalline-material-based electrocatalysts.

Photoresponsive supramolecular coordination polyelectrolyte as smart anticounterfeiting inks.

Project description:While photoluminescence printing is a widely applied anticounterfeiting technique, there are still challenges in developing new generation anticounterfeiting materials with high security. Here we report the construction of a photoresponsive supramolecular coordination polyelectrolyte (SCP) through hierarchical self-assembly of lanthanide ion, bis-ligand and diarylethene unit, driven by metal-ligand coordination and ionic interaction. Owing to the conformation-dependent photochromic fluorescence resonance energy transfer between the lanthanide donor and diarylethene acceptor, the ring-closure/ring-opening isomerization of the diarylethene unit leads to a photoreversible luminescence on/off switch in the SCP. The SCP is then utilized as security ink to print various patterns, through which photoreversible multiple information patterns with visible/invisible transformations are realized by simply alternating the irradiation with UV and visible light. This work demonstrates the possibility of developing a new class of smart anticounterfeiting materials, which could be operated in a noninvasive manner with a higher level of security.

Single crystal of a one-dimensional metallo-covalent organic framework.

Project description:Although polymers have been studied for well over a century, there are few examples of covalently linked polymer crystals synthesised directly from solution. One-dimensional (1D) covalent polymers that are packed into a framework structure can be viewed as a 1D covalent organic framework (COF), but making a single crystal of this has been elusive. Herein, by combining labile metal coordination and dynamic covalent chemistry, we discover a strategy to synthesise single-crystal metallo-COFs under solvothermal conditions. The single-crystal structure is rigorously solved using single-crystal electron diffraction technique. The non-centrosymmetric metallo-COF allows second harmonic generation. Due to the presence of syntactic pendant amine groups along the polymer chains, the metallopolymer crystal can be further cross-linked into a crystalline woven network.
