Covalent Organic Framework (COF) Based Catalysts for Photocatalytic Cross‐Dehydrogenative Coupling Reactions

Abstract

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are robust, porous materials with well‐defined structures that have been employed for gas separation, photoluminescence, sensing, energy storage, and heterogeneous catalysis. This review summarizes recent progress in the use of COFs as a versatile platform for heterogeneous photocatalytic cross‐dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reactions, which are an efficient and clean methodology for the formation of C‐C or C‐P bonds. We review the synthesis of these photocatalytic COFs, correlating their catalytic performance with their structures and photoelectric properties.
