Nanoparticle-Mediated Synthesis of Single-Crystal Covalent Organic Frameworks of Uniform Size and Shape

The synthesis of highly crystalline covalent organic frameworks (COFs) has recently been achieved, but strategies to obtain monodispersed single crystals of uniform size and shape remain elusive. Here, we show that simply adding silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) to a conventional solvothermal synthesis directs imine-based...
