A hydroquinone-embedded covalent organic framework (Tz-QH-COF) was designed to address photocatalyst instability in ...

In their study, they conducted a base-catalyzed Knoevenagel condensation reaction, achieving a remarkable turnover frequency (TOF) of over 4000 h⁻¹.

Technical Terms Aldol Condensation: A reaction mechanism that couples two aldehyde or ketone molecules to form a β-hydroxy carbonyl compound, typically in the presence of acid or base catalysts.

This is followed by condensation, where hydroxyl groups from adjacent molecules interact to form metal-oxygen-metal bonds, creating a three-dimensional network. These reactions lead to the formation ...
