Tetra(4-aminophenyl) porphyrin-based Covalent Organic Frameworks

Abstract

Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) are robust crystalline porous materials with unique properties and have promising applications in many fields such as gas adsorption, sensing and catalysis. COFs properties can be tailored by the judicious choice of their building units. Stemming from its unique properties, rigid structure and synthetic accessibility, tetra(4-aminophenyl)porphyrin (TAPP) has been employed as a building unit to construct various COF materials. This review highlights the different synthetic approaches that were exploited by researchers to assemble COF materials based on TAPP.
