We synthesized a two-dimensional (2D) crystalline covalent organic framework (spc-COF) that was designed to be fully π-conjugated and constructed from all sp carbons by C=C condensation reactions of tetrakis(4-formylphenyl)pyrene and 1,4-phenylenediacetonitrile. The C=C linkages topologically connect pyrene knots at regular intervals into a 2D lattice with π conjugations extended along both and directions and develop an eclipsed layer framework rather than the more conventionally obtained disordered structures. The spc-COF is a semiconductor with a discrete band gap of 1.9 electron volts and can be chemically oxidized to enhance conductivity by 12 orders of magnitude. The generated radicals are confined on the pyrene knots, enabling the formation of a paramagnetic carbon structure with high spin density. The sp carbon framework induces ferromagnetic phase transition to develop spin-spin coherence and align spins unidirectionally across the material.
Covalent organic frameworks enable the topological connection of organic chromophores into π lattices, making them attractive for creating light-emitting polymers that are predesignable for both the primary- and high-order structures. However, owing to linkages, covalent organic frameworks are either unstable or poor luminescent, leaving the practical synthesis of stable light-emitting frameworks challenging. Here, we report the designed synthesis of sp2 carbon-conjugated frameworks that combine stability with light-emitting activity. The C=C linkages topologically connect pyrene knots and arylyenevinylene linkers into two-dimensional all sp2 carbon lattices that are designed to be π conjugated along both the x and y directions and develop layer structures, creating exceptionally stable frameworks. The resulting frameworks are capable of tuning band gap and emission by the linkers, are highly luminescent under various conditions and can be exfoliated to produce brilliant nanosheets. These results suggest a platform based on sp2 carbon frameworks for designing robust photofunctional materials.
The decay J/ψ → ωpp has been studied, using 225.3 × 10 6 J/ψ events accumulated at BESIII. No significant enhancement near the pp invariant-mass threshold (denoted as X(pp)) is observed. The upper limit of the branching fraction B(J/ψ → ωX(pp) → ωpp) is determined to be 3.9 × 10 −6 at the 95% confidence level. The branching fraction of J/ψ → ωpp is measured to be B(J/ψ → ωpp) = (9.0 ± 0.2 (stat.) ± 0.9 (syst.)) × 10 −4 . 124The investigation of the near-threshold pp invariant 125 mass spectrum in other J/ψ decay modes will be helpful 126 in understanding the nature of the observed structure. 127The decay J/ψ → ωpp restricts the isospin of the pp 128 system, and it is helpful to clarify the role of the pp in the return iron yoke of the superconducting magnet. 174The position resolution is about 2 cm. 175The optimization of the event selection and the es- 247The branching fraction of J/ψ → ωpp is calculated 248 according to :(1) where N obs is the number of signal events determined Breit-Wigner function :Here, q is the momentum of the proton in the pp rest where N obs is the number of signal events, and L is the Author's Copy where σ sys. is the total systematic uncertainty which will 299 be described in the next section.

Progress in chemistry over the past four decades has generated a variety of porous materials for removing iodine-a radioactive emission accompanying nuclear fission. However, most studies are still based on the notion that entangled pores together with specific binding sites are essential for iodine capture. Here, an unraveled physical picture of iodine capture that overturns the preconception by exploring 1D channeled porous materials is disclosed. 2D covalent organic frameworks are constructed in a way so that they are free of interpenetration and binding sites but consist of 1D open channels. As verified with different channels shaping from hexagonal to tetragonal and trigonal and ranging from micropores to mesopores, all the 1D channels enable a full access to iodine, generalizing a new paradigm that the pore volume determines the uptake capacity. These results are of fundamental importance to understanding iodine uptake and designing materials to treat coagulative toxic vapors.
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with ordered one-dimensional channels could offer a predesigned pathway for ion motion. However, implanting salts into bare channels of COFs gives rise to a limited ion conductivity. Here, we report the first example of polyelectrolyte COFs by integrating flexible oligo(ethylene oxide) chains onto the pore walls. Upon complexation with lithium ions, the oligo(ethylene oxide) chains form a polyelectrolyte interface in the nanochannels and offer a pathway for lithium ion transport. As a result, the ion conductivity was enhanced by more than 3 orders of magnitude compared to that of ions across the bare nanochannels. The polyelectrolyte COFs promoted ion motion via a vehicle mechanism and exhibited enhanced cycle and thermal stabilities. These results suggest that the strategy for engineering a polyelectrolyte interface in the 1D nanochannels of COFs could open a new way to solid-state ion conductors.
