Design and Synthesis of a Triazine‐Based sp2 Carbon‐Conjugated Covalent Organic Framework for Blue Light Photocatalysis

Abstract Fully conjugated covalent organic frameworks (COFs) can exhibit great potential in semiconductor photocatalysis. But their syntheses remain elusive due to the low reversibility of vinylene linkage. Herein, by tuning the amount of base and temperature, a novel triazine‐based sp 2 carbon‐conjugated COF (TA‐sp 2 c‐COF) is successfully constructed over Cs 2 CO 3 . Besides, the influence of modulating factors on the chemical and optoelectronic properties of TA‐sp 2 c‐COF is thoroughly investigated. TA‐sp 2 c‐COF adopts an eclipsed AA stacking structure with uniform micropores (1.4 nm). The blue light photocatalysis of the highly crystalline TA‐sp 2 c‐COF is established for the selective oxidative coupling of amines with oxygen, and the predominant role of superoxide is identified in forming imines. This work foretells that meticulous modulation of reaction conditions is the key to constructing sp 2 carbon‐conjugated COFs toward solar photocatalysis.
