Rufan Chen, Ji-Long Shi, Yuan Ma, Guiqing Lin, Xianjun Lang, and Cheng Wang*DOI: 10.1002/anie.201902543Abstract: The construction of stable covalent organic frameworks (COFs) for various applications is highly desirable. Herein, we report the synthesis of a novel two-dimensional (2D) porphyrin-based sp2 carbon-conjugated COF (Por-sp2c-COF), which adopts an eclipsed AA stacking structure with a ...

Huan Xu…, Zehong Fang…, Weiqun Tian, Yanfeng Wang,* Qifa Ye, Lina Zhang, and Jie Cai*DOI: 10.1002/adma.201801100AbstractBacterial infection has always been a great threat to public health, and new antimicrobials to combat it are urgently needed. Here, a series of quaternized β-chitin derivatives is prepared simply and homogeneously in an aqueous KOH/urea solution, which is a high-efficiency,...
