Covalent triazine
frameworks (CTFs) are a class of organic polymer
materials constructed by aromatic 1,3,5-triazine rings with planar
π-conjugation properties. CTFs are highly stable and porous
with N atoms in the frameworks, possessing semiconductive properties;
thus they are widely used in gas adsorption and separation as well
as catalysis. The properties of CTFs strongly depend on the type of
monomers and the synthesis process. Synthesis methods including ionothermal
polymerization, amino-aldehyde synthesis, trifluoromethanesulfonic
acid catalyzed synthesis, and aldehyde–amidine condensation
have been intensively studied in recent years. In this review, we
discuss the recent advances and future developments of CTFs synthesis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
