Abstract
AbstractStrategies enabling solution processing of covalent organic framework (COF) thin films will become increasingly important as these versatile materials are integrated into a wide range of electronic and optical devices. This work highlights an approach to yield thin film synthesis of TAPA‐PDA (TAPA: tris(4‐aminophenyl)amine, PDA: terephthalaldehyde) and TAPB‐PDA (TAPB: 1,3,5‐tris(4‐aminophenyl)benzene) imine COFs using azomethine compounds which can be drop cast onto a variety of substrates. High crystalline COF films are shown to form on various electronically‐relevant substrates. Grazing incidence wide angle X‐ray scattering characterization reveals COF films with a preferred horizontal orientation in the case of TAPA‐PDA COF and a more mixed/vertical orientation in the TAPB‐PDA COF film regardless of the substrate. As this exciting class of crystalline organic materials becomes more relevant for various device applications, solution processing techniques will be vital to take advantage of the properties of thin film COFs.
