Covalent Organic Frameworks 1200-3MON23Z
This lecture will deal with the final topic on two-dimensional crystalline covalent organic frameworks (COF), a hot research topic worldwide. In order to fully understand and study this topic, a basic understanding of polymer chemistry and organic chemistry is required. In this lecture, you will learn about 2D polymers from the fundamentals of polymer synthesis (1D) and structure, including basic organic synthesis, and explain how COFs are synthesized and compared with other porous polymers, as well as their physical properties. This will help you understand that COFs are attracting attention as the next generation of 2D crystalline polymers, and are expected to be used as energy materials.
