Abstract:
The construction of covalent organic frameworks with special geometery and optical properties is of high interest, due to their unique physicochemical and biological properties. In this work, we report on a new method for the construction of triazine frameworks with defined topologies using coordination chemistry. Ball milling and wet chemical reactions between cyanuric chloride and melamine were directed in spatial arrangements and opposite optical activity. Cobalt was used as a directing agent to drive reactions into special morphologies, optical properties and biological activity. The enantiorecognition ability of triazine frameworks that was manifested in their activities against bacteria, demonstrated a new way for the construction of materials with specific interactions at biointerfaces.
