Crystalline covalent organic frameworks (COFs) materials have good performance in photocatalytic conversions due to their excellent photoelectric properties in recent years. here, two new conjugated pyrene-based covalent organic frameworks (COFs), namely PyDF-COF and PyBMT-COF, were prepared through condensation polymerization of 4,4',4'',4'''-(pyrene-1,3,6,8-tetrayl)tetraaniline and 2,5-difluoroterephthalaldehyde or 2,5-Bis(methylthio)terephthalaldehyde, respectively. Highly selective aerobic hydroxylation of arylboronic acids can occur smoothly with high yields and a wide range of substrate universality. Compared with PyDF-COF, PyBMT-COF demonstrates a more efficient ability for this aerobic hydroxylation, indicating electron-donating thiomethyl groups of PyBMT-COF are more favorable to enhance distribution of electron cloud than electron-withdrawing fluorine groups of PyDF-COF, which make the PyBMT-COF more easily afford holes and electrons (h+-e-) separation, more effectively absorb visible light, and own narrower bandgap energy, higher photocurrent response, longer fluorescent lifetime and lower electrochemical impedance.
