A hydrophilic covalent organic framework for photocatalytic oxidation of benzylamine in water

Abstract

The highly hydrophilic COF material (TFPT-BMTH) was constructed by pore surface functionalizing strategy, and exhibited excellent porosity, high crystallinity, and good thermal and chemical stability. The resulting COF exhibits significant catalytic activity and recyclability together with environmental benignity in photocatalytic oxidation of benzylamine in water under ambient conditions.
