title: Synthesis of chemically stable covalent organic frameworks in water.
abstract: The development of environmentally benign and scalable synthetic routes to chemically stable covalent organic frameworks (COFs) is key to their real world application in areas such as gas storage and proton conduction. Banerjeeet al.[IUCrJ(2016),3, 402-407] have exploited the high chemical stability of the keto-enamine linkage to develop a 'green' water-mediated procedure, presenting a scalable route to chemically robust COFs.
