“…Next, El-Kaderi et al synthesized 3-D COFs with high crystallinity by condensation reactions of tetrahedral tetra(4-dihydroxyborylphenyl) methane to create COF-102 with a surface area of 3,472 m 2 /g or tetra(4dihydroxyborylphenyl) silane to synthesize COF-103 with a surface area of 4,210 m 2 /g . COFs synthesized for CO 2 storage include azo (Ge et al, 2016), azine (Li Z. et al, 2014;Li et al, 2015), imine (Rabbani et al, 2013;Huang et al, 2015a,b;Zhai et al, 2017;Gao et al, 2018), and triazine linkers. The advent of reticular chemistry has inspired computational chemists to simulate COFs for the hope of better optimizing CO 2 capture (Zeng et al, 2016).…”
