Fluorescent covalent organic framework material and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of materials, chemistry and biology, and particularly relates to a covalent organic framework material and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) are a class of porous organic polymer crystals covalently linked by light elements (e.g., carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, boron, etc.). Due to the special structure and properties, the material has great application potential in the fields of gas adsorption, catalysis, energy storage, drug delivery, photovoltaic equipment and the like. In recent years, COF synthesis, properties and application studies have been receiving increasing attention from researchers (see t. Ma, e.a. Kapustin, s.x. Yin, l. Liang, z. Zhou, j. Niu, l. -h. Li, y. Wang, j. Su and j. Li, Science, 2018, 361, 48-52; h.wang, z. Zeng, p. Xu, l. Li, g. Zeng, r. Xiao, z. Tang, d. Huang, l. Tang and dc. Lai, chem. soc. rev., 2019, 48, 488-516.), and COF synthesis of new materials has an important role in promoting further research and practical application thereof.
In order to ensure that the synthesized COF has special structure, pore size and function, a plurality of covalent bond connection modes such as C-N, N-N, B-N, C-C, B-O and the like are used for constructing a framework structure of the COF. These chemical bonds ensure that the synthesized COF has a relatively stable rigid structure and designability, and particularly, the existence of a conjugate structure in the COF can enable the COF to have special fluorescence properties. The existing synthesis and preparation work based on the fluorescent COF is mainly realized by using different monomers, changing the connection mode between the monomers and the like, and the existing problems are mainly as follows (see M.S. Lohse and T.Bein, Adv. Funct. Mater.,2018, 28, 1705553; F. Beuerle and B. gold, Angew. chem., int. Ed., 2018, 57, 4850-one 4878; V. Nguyen and M. Grunwald, J. Am. chem. Soc., 2018,140, 3306-one 3311.): (1) the monomer synthesis steps are complex, the yield is low, the direct purchase price is high, and the method is not suitable for large-scale production; (2) the synthesis conditions are harsh, liquid nitrogen, vacuum pumping, flame sealing and the like are required, and relatively high temperature and pressure are required; (3) the reaction device is an ampoule bottle which is high in price and is a disposable consumable; (4) the synthesized COF needs to be dried under a vacuum condition, and has poor thermal stability, poor solvent stability and weak fluorescence. Therefore, a simple, effective and low-cost method for synthesizing the COF material and researching the related performance of the COF material is developed, and the method has important practical significance for basic scientific research and practical application.
However, the simple and efficient synthesis of COF faces many challenges due to limitations of organic reaction species and monomer types, and we found, through previous literature studies, that there is no published report on the synthesis of fluorescent COF by a simple method at normal pressure.
