The design and synthesis of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with high chemical stability pose significant challenges for practical applications. Although a growing number of robust COFs have been developed and employed for a broad scope of applications, the assessment of COF stability has primarily relied on qualitative descriptions, lacking a rational and quantitative assessment. Herein, a novel assessment method is presented that enables visual and quantitative depiction of COF stability. By analyzing the PXRD patterns of chemically stable β-ketoenamine-based COFs (KEA-COFs), two crystallinity-dependent parameters are identified, the relative intensity (I ) and the relative area (A ) of the main peak (2θ), which are expected to establish a standardized criterion for assessing COF crystallinity. Based on these parameters, the crystalline changes after stability tests can be visually presented, which provides a rational and quantitative assessment of their stability. This study not only demonstrates the remarkable chemical stability of KEA-COFs, but also provides valuable insights into the quantitative evaluation of COFs' crystallinity and stability.
设计和合成具有高化学稳定性的共价有机框架(COF)对实际应用构成了重大挑战。尽管已经开发出越来越多坚固的COF并将其应用于广泛的领域,但对COF稳定性的评估主要依赖于定性描述,缺乏合理的定量评估。在此,提出了一种新颖的评估方法,能够对COF稳定性进行可视化和定量描述。通过分析化学稳定的基于β-酮烯胺的COF(KEA-COF)的粉末X射线衍射(PXRD)图谱,确定了两个与结晶度相关的参数,主峰(2θ)的相对强度(I)和相对面积(A),有望建立一个评估COF结晶度的标准化标准。基于这些参数,可以直观地呈现稳定性测试后的晶体变化,从而对其稳定性进行合理的定量评估。本研究不仅证明了KEA-COF具有出色的化学稳定性,还为COF结晶度和稳定性的定量评估提供了有价值的见解。
