Abstract

Abstract

A covalent organic framework (COF) has been designed and synthesized successfully by a condensation reaction between hexahydroxytriphenylene hydrate and tetrahydroxydiborane. The characterisation studies reveal that it has good thermal stability and high crystallinity. This is a mesoporous material having a pore size of 2.8 nm and also having a B–B linkage with prospect of potential applications in future.
