Redox-active covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with dense redox sites are promising electrical energy storage materials with robust architectures, high surface areas, insolubility in electrolytes, and open pores for electrolyte transportation. However, low redox potentials and poor electrical conductivity of pristine COFs often result in low accessibilities of redox-active sites and slow redox kinetics, greatly limiting their practical applications. Herein, we report the design and synthesis of two novel p-type phenoxazine-based COFs (DAPO-COFs) with high redox potentials (~3.6 V vs. Li/Li+) and excellent electrical conductivities. Simply blended with conductive additives (CAs) and binders, pristine bulk DAPO-COFs without pre-composition with CAs or extra exfoliation are readily useable as cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Both as-synthesized DAPO-COF powders displayed superior active-site accessibility, ultrafast redox kinetics, and remarkable cycling stability. This work provides new perspectives on the development of readily useable COF-based cathode materials, and contributes to the advancement of eco-friendly and sustainable organic-based energy storage devices.

In this study, we describe the synthesis and biological evaluation of a set of bis-3-chloropiperidines (B?CePs) containing rigid aromatic linker structures. A modification of the synthetic strategy also enabled the synthesis of a pilot tris-3-chloropiperidine (Tri-CeP) bearing three reactive meta-chloropiperidine moieties on the aromatic scaffold. A structure–reactivity relationship analysis of B?CePs suggests that the arrangement of the reactive units affects the DNA alkylating activity, while also revealing correlations between the electron density of the aromatic system and the reactivity with biologically relevant nucleophiles, both on isolated DNA and in cancer cells. Interestingly, all aromatic 3-chloropiperidines exhibited a marked cytotoxicity and tropism for 2D and 3D cultures of pancreatic cancer cells. Therefore, the new aromatic 3-chloropiperidines appear to be promising contenders for further development of mustard-based anticancer agents aimed at pancreatic cancers.

The synthesis of shape-persistent organic cage compounds is often based on the usage of multiple dynamic covalent bond formation (such as imines) of readily available precursors. By careful choice of the precursors geometry, the geometry and size of the resulting cage can be accurately designed and indeed a number of different geometries and sizes have been realized to date. Despite of this fact, little is known about the precursors conformational rigidity and steric preorganization of reacting functional groups on the outcome of the reaction. Herein, the influence of conformational rigidity in the precursors on the formation of a [4+4] imine cage with truncated tetrahedral geometry is discussed.
