A comprehensive introduction to a groundbreaking polymer class

Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) are materials that form two- or three-dimensional porous crystalline structures held together by strong covalent bonds. First described only in 2005, COFs have subsequently exploded as a field of study, with recent progress enormously enhancing scientific and industrial capacity for designing these organic materials by means of one-pot direct polymerization. The flexibility and predictability of these structures is part of what has given them applications in semiconductor construction, catalysis, energy storage, and more.

Covalent Organic Frameworks: Chemistry, Materials, and Applications (2V set) provides a unique, comprehensive introduction to COFs and their chemistry, materials, and applications. It outlines the fundamentals of COF design, synthesis, and applications, offering a broad overview of both the origins of this thriving field and its many more recent developments. It equips readers with the tools to tailor COF design and production to a limitless range of potential scientific and industrial needs.

Covalent Organic Frameworks readers will also find: - Detailed treatment of design, synthesis, and computational approaches for a variety of specific COFs - Unique comprehensive approach covers all possible reader needs in two accessible volumes - Discussion of connections between COF polymer chemistry and other fields including organic chemistry, computational chemistry, photochemistry, and more

Covalent Organic Frameworks is a useful reference for organic chemists, materials scientists, polymer chemists, structural chemists, and more.
