Gas Adsorption Properties of Delaminated Layered 2D Covalent Organic Frameworks (A02)

• Subject Area: Organic Molecular Chemistry - Synthesis and Characterisation ; Solid State and Surface Chemistry, Material Synthesis ; Synthesis and Properties of Functional Materials
• Term: since 2020
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 417590517

The project will focus to develop methods to exfoliate 2D layered COFs via solvent-assisted delamination methods. Furthermore, the gas adsorption kinetics and thermodynamics in dependence of the sheet thickness will be studied using adsorption measurements with different probe molecules. Last, the obtained 2D COFs will be functionalized with alkyl chains via post-synthetic methods, with the aim to tune the delamination and gas adsorption properties of the resulting materials.
