Aldehyde Linkers [Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) Linkers]

Aldehyde Linkers [Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) Linkers] — encompasses multifunctional aldehyde compounds, ranging from triazine trialdehydes to pyrene-based tetraaldehydes, that provide several reactive carbonyl groups on a single rigid aromatic framework. The symmetrical structure and dual formyl groups of these compounds make them imine-bond-forming components in the assembly of porous covalent organic frameworks.

Aldehyde linkers are used by porous materials researchers in Schiff base condensation reactions together with amine linkers to form two- or three-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with engineerable pore geometries. Compounds such as trimethoxybenzene tricarbaldehyde and triformylphloroglucinol are commonly used as nodes in COF design for gas storage, catalysis, and molecular separation applications.

Consider the molecular symmetry (C2, C3, or planar) and the number of aldehyde groups, as both determine the topology of the resulting COF network, as well as the purity level to avoid crystallinity defects. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
