Towards covalent organic frameworks with predesignable and aligned open docking sites.
A strategy for the synthesis of covalent organic frameworks with open docking sites is developed. The docking sites are ordered on the channel walls and structurally predesignable for meeting various types of noncovalent interactions, thus opening a way towards designing supramolecular materials based on crystalline porous organic frameworks.
