ABSTRACT
This review explores the research progresses of porous organic framework materials, PAF-1 (PAF = porous aromatic framework) and its derivatives. Initially, the pivotal role of PAF-1 in porous organic frameworks and the successful factors in its design and synthesis, including effective building reactions and the design of stereotopological reaction monomers, are introduced. Subsequently, a systematic review of research on PAF-1 analogues over the past decade is presented from three key perspectives: (1) in terms of modification strategies, involving central atom substitution, functional group incorporation, dimer-type building units, and mixed ligand approaches to enhance material performance; (2) the exploration of alternative polymerization processes such as aluminum trichloride catalyzed polymerization and in situ generated nickel catalyst polymerization, achieving cost reduction and the production of high-specific-surface-area materials; (3) finally, discussion on the functionalization of PAF-1, showcasing its potential in catalysis, heavy metal adsorption, gas storage, and separation applications. This comprehensive study lays a foundation for the design of porous organic materials with specific functionalities and superior performance, guiding the future development of materials science. -
