The effect of disorder in multi-component covalent organic frameworks

Abstract

We examined the effect of two different types of linker distribution—random or correlated distribution—on the pore size and shape within single-layers of three multi-component COFs. We reveal a relationship between linker distribution and the porosity of COF solid solutions. The methods presented in this paper are generalisable and could be used in further studies to examine the properties of disordered framework materials.
