Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are functional nanoporous materials with potential applications in biomedical research, such as drug delivery, bioimaging, phototherapy, and antibacterial properties, due to their robust covalent connectivity and chromophoric networks.
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), a class of functional nanoporous materials, not only hold the fundamental characteristics of reticular chemistry but also have advantages of robust covalent connectivity and chromophoric networks with extended pi-conjugation. Therefore, the integration of biologically relevant building blocks to form biocompatible COFs through tailor-made design principles will make them highly suitable for biomedical research. Herein, we briefly describe the most important biological applications of nanoscale COFs, such as drug delivery, bioimaging, phototherapy, and antibacterial proper-ties. Finally, the existing challenges and prospects of COF-based nanomaterials for advanced biomedical applications have been discussed.
