title: Permanently porous hydrogen-bonded frameworks of rod-like thiophenes, selenophenes, and tellurophenes capped with MIDA boronates.
abstract: Permanently porous hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks comprising rod-like molecules with two MIDA boronate termini have been prepared. We show that MIDA boronates self-assemble through multiple hydrogen-bonding interactions. Thiophene-containing frameworks are fluorescent and have a 6.6% absolute quantum yield. The approach appears to be general and introduces new design rules for constructing hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks.
