Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are an advanced class of crystalline porous polymers that are composed of light elements (C, H, O, N, and B) linked via strong covalent bonds. COFs are generally constructed by using reversible bond forming reactions to yield highly ordered polymeric materials with high surface areas, low densities, and high thermal stabilities. This lecture will discuss employing a few novel bottom-up approaches to construct chemically stable benzobisoxazole(BBO)-linked COFs. The prospect of utilizing BBO-linked COFs for applications related to carbon capture, catalysis, energy storage, and chemical sensing will be highlighted.
