Design concept for hybridization of nanoparticles with COF. a Chemical reactions within the system. (1) Schematic representation of dynamic adsorption/desorption equilibrium of ligands on nanoparticles. (2) Formation of dynamic covalent bond (imine bond) between two molecules bearing aldehyde and amine groups, respectively. (3) Formation of dynamic covalent bond between aldehyde and ligands for nanoparticle surface coating. b Synchronization of nanoparticle self-assembly and polymerization leads to the formation of core/shell structure, followed by the crystallization of shell materials into porous covalent organic frameworks
