We have developed a new series of dual-pore perylene-based COFs and demonstrated that their imine bonds can be protonated reversibly, causing significant protonation-induced color shifts toward the near-infrared, while the structure and crystallinity of the frameworks are fully retained. Thin films of these COFs are highly sensitive colorimetric acid vapor sensors with a detection limit as low as 35 μg L^-1 and a response range of at least 4 orders of magnitude. Since the acidochromism in our COFs is a cooperative phenomenon based on electronically coupled imines, the COFs can be used to determine simultaneously the concentration and protonation strength of nonaqueous acid solutions, in which pH electrodes are not applicable, and to distinguish between different acids. Including the imine bonds as function-determining constituents of the framework provides an additional handle for constructing multifunctional COFs and extending the range of their possible applications.1e:T44f,Adsorption-based iodine (I₂ ) capture has great potential for the treatment of radioactive nuclear waste. In this study, we apply a "multivariate" synthetic strategy to construct ionic covalent organic frameworks (iCOFs) with a large surface area, high pore volume, and abundant binding sites for I₂ capture. The optimized material iCOF-AB-50 exhibits a static I₂ uptake capacity of 10.21 g g^-1 at 75 °C and a dynamic uptake capacity of 2.79 g g^-1 at ≈400 ppm I₂ and 25 °C, far exceeding the performances of previously reported adsorbents under similar conditions. iCOF-AB-50 also exhibits fast adsorption kinetics, good moisture tolerance, and full reusability. The promoting effect of ionic groups on I₂ adsorption has been elucidated by experimentally identifying the iodine species adsorbed at different sites and calculating their binding energies. This work demonstrates the essential role of balancing the textural properties and binding sites of the adsorbent in achieving a high I₂ capture performance.
