Abstract:
Precise control of intralayer anisotropy in two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (COFs) remains a significant challenge in materials design. We address this through a mixed-linker strategy using 8-connected pyrene and triphenylamine monomers with 4-connected ETTA to form 1D nanoribbons. These ribbons are longitudinally stitched by diamines of programmable lengths, enabling precise in-plane anisotropy tuning. Shortening the linkers from biphenyl to phenyl (T-COF-2 → T-COF-1) induces compressive strain within the π-conjugated backbone, enhancing π-electron delocalization and boosting photogenerated charge carrier mobility by over fourfold. Consequently, T-COF-1 achieves a 93.81% conversion efficiency in visible-light-driven NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) oxidation-a 4.26-fold enhancement over T-COF-2-along with a 1.41% apparent quantum yield at 420 nm. Remarkably, T-COF-1 retains substantial activity under 650 nm near-infrared light (14.67% conversion, 0.11% quantum yield), highlighting its potential for photodynamic therapy. This work establishes interchain covalent proximity as a design principle for rationally engineering high-performance COF photocatalysts, with broad implications for solar energy conversion and biomedical applications.

Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...
Conformations of Cyclohexane
The chair form is the most stable and derives its name from its resemblance to the “easy chair.” In the chair conformation, two carbon atoms are arranged out-of-plane — one above and one below, minimizing the torsional strain. In the chair form, the bond angle is very close to the ideal...
