Covalent organic frameworks: spotlight on applications in the pharmaceutical arena

Pilli P, Kommalapati HS, Golla VM, Khemchandani R, Ramachandran RK & Samanthula G | Bioanalysis, 16(08), 279–305, (2024) Keywords: • capillary electrochromatography • covalent organic frameworks • gas chromatography • high-performance liquid chromatography • solid-phase microextraction Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have much potential in the field of analytical separation research due to their distinctive characteristics, including easy modification, low densities, large specific surface areas and permanent porosity. This article provides a historical overview of the synthesis and broad perspectives on the applications of COFs. The use of COF-based membranes in gas separation, water treatment (desalination, heavy metals and dye removal), membrane...
