ABSTRACT
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have gained considerable attention due to their highly conjugated π-skeletons, rendering them promising candidates for the design of light-emitting materials. In this study, we present two vinylene-linked COFs, namely, VL-COF-1 and VL-COF-2, which were synthesized through the Knoevenagel condensation of 2,4,6-trimethyl-1,3,5-triazine with terephthalaldehyde or 4,4'-biphenyldicarboxaldehyde. Both VL-COF-1 and VL-COF-2 exhibited excellent chemical and thermal stability. The presence of vinylene linkages between the constituent building blocks in these COFs resulted in broad excitation and emission properties. Remarkably, the designed VL-COFs demonstrated bright emission, fast fluorescence decay, and high stability, making them highly attractive for optoelectronic applications. To assess the potential of these VL-COFs in practical devices, we fabricated white-light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) coated with VL-COF-1 and VL-COF-2. Notably, the WLEDs coated with VL-COF-1 achieved high-quality white light emission, closely approximating standard white light. The promising performance of VL-COF-coated WLEDs suggests the feasibility of utilizing COF materials for stable and efficient lighting applications.
