[0002] Chiral covalent organic frameworks (CCOFs), as an important branch of chiral and porous framework materials, have attracted much attention in recent years due to their potential applications in asymmetric catalysis, chiral separation, and enantioselective sensing. In CCOF synthesis, chiral induction strategies are often used to induce chiral structures in achiral frameworks, i.e., using chiral inducing agents to induce framework chirality. Chiral amines are common chiral inducing agents, but these substances are difficult to recycle and pose significant environmental hazards. Their corrosiveness, ecotoxicity, and threats to human health are all important factors limiting their widespread application. Therefore, developing greener and more environmentally friendly chiral inducing agents is key to solving the current dilemma.

[0003] Chirality can regulate the spin polarization of photogenerated charges in photocatalysts, i.e., chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS effect). Spin-polarized electrons generated by this effect can reduce electron-hole recombination, improve carrier separation efficiency, and thus enhance photocatalytic hydrogen evolution efficiency.

[0047] Unless otherwise stated in the context of this application, the technical terms and abbreviations used herein have the conventional meanings known to those skilled in the art; unless otherwise stated, the raw material compounds used in the following examples are all commercially available.

[0048] The specific implementation methods for material preparation and characterization testing of various properties as described in this invention are as follows. Conversely, the following examples are only for further explanation and illustration of this invention and should not be considered as limiting the scope of the invention, which will be limited only by the claims.

[0049] Example 1 The method for inducing the synthesis of chiral TpPa-1 using chiral amino acids comprises the following steps: 1) Add 2,4,6-trihydroxybenzene-1,3,5-tricarboxaldehyde (Tp, 32 mg) and 1 equivalent of D-tryptophan (Try, 31.1 mg) to a Shrek tube containing a mixture of 1.5 mL of mesitylene, 1.5 mL of 1,4-dioxane and 0.6 mL of acetic acid aqueous solution (concentration 6 M). After the mixture is completely transparent and turns bright yellow, add p-phenylenediamine (Pa, 24.3 mg).

[0050] 2) The Shrek tube was frozen and evacuated at 77 K to remove air, then sealed and transferred to an oil bath. It was heated at 120 °C for 3 days to produce a red solid. The solid was separated by filtration and repeatedly washed with DMF 10 times. The obtained solid was washed with tetrahydrofuran and methanol for 24 hours each in a Soxhlet extractor. Then, the chiral TpPa-1 was activated by vacuum drying at 80 °C for 12 hours (yield 90%), and denoted as D-Try-TpPa-1.

[0051] Example 2 The preparation method is the same as that described in Example 1, except that: L-tryptophan was used instead of D-tryptophan, and the rest was carried out as in Example 1. The resulting product was denoted as L-Try-TpPa-1.

[0052] Experimental Example 1: 1. The synthetic pathway of tryptophan-induced chiral TpPa-1 is shown below. Figure 1 Figure 1(a) shows the X-ray powder diffraction (PXRD) of the synthesized D-Try-TpPa-1, L-Try-TpPa-1, and TpPa-1. The obvious diffraction peaks appear at the same positions as those of TpPa-1, indicating the successful synthesis of highly crystalline COFs. The chiral induction process does not affect the crystal structure of the COFs. The N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms and corresponding pore size distributions of D / L-Try-TpPa-1 and TpPa-1 are shown in Figure 1(b). Figure 1 (c) Figure 1 The high specific surface area and identical pore size distribution in the middle (d) further demonstrate that the present invention yields a highly crystalline COF structure.

[0053] 2. The Fourier Transmission Spectra (FT-IR) of D-Try-TpPa-1, L-Try-TpPa-1, TpPa-1 and D-Try, L-Try are shown below. Figure 2 The obvious C=O and NH signals in COFs indicate that the COF structure is linked by β-ketoenamine, and no characteristic peaks of amino acids were found in the COF spectrum, indicating that the residual amino acid components were removed during the post-processing.

[0054] 3. The spin polarization effect of the chiral structure (D-Try-TpPa-1) on the photogenerated charge of COFs is shown in the schematic diagram. Figure 3 The circular dichroism (CD) spectra of D-Try-TpPa-1 and L-Try-TpPa-1 are shown in (a). Figure 3 In (b), the obvious absorption peak at 550 nm under polarized light confirms the chiral structure of the COFs. Its circularly polarized fluorescence (CPL) spectrum is shown in [reference needed]. Figure 3 In (c), the obvious circularly polarized fluorescence generated by its excitation verifies its chiral structure and simultaneously verifies... Figure 3 Spin polarization in (a). Photocurrent measurements of TpPa-1 with D-Try-TpPa-1 and L-Try-TpPa-1 are shown in [reference needed]. Figure 3 In the middle (df), all three showed enhanced photocurrent under the action of a magnetic field. This is due to the Lorentz force on the photogenerated charge. D-Try-TpPa-1 and L-Try-TpPa-1 showed different enhanced photocurrent signals under different magnetic field directions, which proved the spin polarization of photoelectrons and the CISS effect.

[0055] Experimental Example 2: Photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction: 10 mg of D-Try-TpPa-1, L-Try-TpPa-1, and TpPa-1 samples were dispersed in 0.1 mol / L ascorbic acid aqueous solution, and 1 mg of chloroplatinic acid aqueous solution was added as a precursor for Pt co-catalyst. The system was purged with argon gas, sealed, and placed under visible light for in-situ photodeposition photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (λ>420 nm). The gas above the system was collected and quantitatively analyzed by gas chromatography.

[0056] The photocatalytic hydrogen evolution tests were performed using the methods described above, and the test results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown in (a), the chiral structure enhances the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution performance by nearly 3.5 times and exhibits good cycling stability, showing no performance degradation after four cycles. Figure 4 (b) Under optimal conditions, its apparent quantum yield (AQY) exceeds 50% at both 475 nm and 500 nm, demonstrating its excellent solar energy conversion capability.

[0057] Example 3 The preparation method is the same as that described in Example 1, except that: The product obtained by replacing D-tryptophan with D-phenylalanine (Phe, 25.2 mg) is denoted as D-Phe-TpPa-1.

[0058] Example 4 The preparation method is the same as that described in Example 1, except that: The product obtained by replacing D-tryptophan with L-phenylalanine (Phe, 25.2 mg) is designated L-Phe-TpPa-1. The PXRD patterns of D-Phe-TpPa-1 and L-Phe-TpPa-1 are shown below. Figure 5 (a) The obvious diffraction peaks indicate the successful synthesis of highly crystalline COFs, and their CD spectrum is shown in Figure 1. Figure 5 In (b), the obvious absorption peak at a wavelength of 550 nm under polarized light proves its chiral structure.

[0059] To investigate the universality of this chiral COF synthesis method, chiral TpPa-1 was also synthesized using D / L-tyrosine and D / L-cysteine ​​induction. Its PXRD values ​​are shown below. Figure 5 (c) and Figure 5 In the middle (d), the obvious diffraction peaks demonstrate the universality of chiral amino acid-induced synthesis of crystalline chiral COFs. Furthermore, β-ketoenamine COFs with larger pore sizes, represented by TpBpy, and vinyl-bridged COFs, represented by NKCOF-113, were synthesized using D / L-tryptophan induction, respectively. PXRD results are shown in [Figure 1]. Figure 5 (e) and Figure 5In (f), chiral COFs with good crystallinity were obtained, demonstrating that chiral amino acids can induce the synthesis of various types of chiral COF structures, further illustrating the universality of this method.

[0060] Example 5 Using the preparation method described in Example 1, the difference is that: D-tyrosine (Tyr, 27.6 mg) was used instead of D-tryptophan, and the obtained product was denoted as D-Tyr-TpPa-1.

[0062] The PXRD of D-Tyr-TpPa-1 and L-Tyr-TpPa-1 is shown in Figure 5 (c) in.

[0063] Example 7 Using the preparation method described in Example 1, the difference is that: D-cysteine (Cys, 18.4 mg) was used instead of D-tryptophan, and the obtained product was denoted as D-Cys-TpPa-1.

[0064] Example 8 Using the preparation method described in Example 1, the difference is that: L-cysteine (Cys, 18.4 mg) was used instead of D-tryptophan, and the obtained product was denoted as L-Cys-TpPa-1.

[0065] The PXRD of D-Cys-TpPa-1 and L-Cys-TpPa-1 is shown in Figure 5 (d) in.

[0066] Example 9 The method for inducing the synthesis of chiral TpBpy with D-tryptophan is as follows: 2,4,6-Trihydroxybenzene-1,3,5-tricarboxaldehyde (Tp, 32 mg) and 1 equivalent of D-tryptophan (Try, 31.1 mg) were added to a Shrek tube containing a mixture of 3 mL N,N-dimethylacetamide, 1 mL o-dichlorobenzene, and 0.4 mL acetic acid aqueous solution (6 M concentration). After the mixture became completely clear and turned bright yellow, 2,2'-bipyridine-5,5'-diamino (Bpy, 42.5 mg) was added. The tube was frozen at 77 K to remove air, then sealed and transferred to an oil bath. Heating at 120 °C for 3 days produced a red solid, which was separated by filtration and repeatedly washed 10 times with DMF. The resulting solid was washed in a Soxhlet extractor with tetrahydrofuran and methanol for 24 hours each. Chiral TpBpy was then activated by vacuum drying at 80 °C for 12 hours (75% yield), and the resulting product was designated D-Try-TpBpy.

[0067] Example 10 The method described in the same way as in Example 9 differs in that: L-Try (31.1 mg) was used instead of D-Tryptophan, and the rest was carried out as in Example 9. The resulting product was named L-Try-TpBpy.

[0068] The PXRD values ​​for D-Try-TpBpy and L-Try-TpBpy are shown below. Figure 5 Middle (e).

[0069] Example 11 The method for D-tryptophan-induced synthesis of chiral NKCOF-113 comprises the following steps: 2,4,6-Tris(4-aldehydephenyl)-1,3,5-triazine (TFP, 25.2 mg) and 1 equivalent of D-tryptophan (Try, 13.1 mg) were added to a Shrek tube containing a mixture of 0.8 mL n-butanol, 0.2 mL o-dichlorobenzene, and 64 mg cesium carbonate. After the mixture became completely clear, 2,2'-bipyridine-5,5'-diacetonitrile (Bpy-CN, 22.6 mg) was added. The tube was frozen at 77 K to remove air, then sealed and transferred to an oil bath. It was heated at 120 °C for 3 days, producing a yellow solid. This solid was separated by filtration and repeatedly washed 10 times with DMF. The resulting solid was washed in a Soxhlet extractor with tetrahydrofuran and methanol for 24 hours each. The chiral NKCOF-113 was then activated by vacuum drying at 80°C for 12 hours (95% yield), and was designated as D-Try-NKCOF-113.
