None other than Rahul @banerjee_r is now up taking stage for COFs industry prospect. He was asked to deliver cheaper and more stable porous materials than zeolites! #POLYMATsptl 
Rahul takes on long standing challenges in COFs, one by one. First is the stability. #POLYMATsptl
Salt mediated synthesis may be able to speed up synthesis, addressing the kinetics of synthesis for scalability, another big challenge for COFs #POLYMATsptl
Will @Dichtel is getting the last day started with remarkable work on the improved synthesis of COFs. He won’t touch the apps since many talked earlier and there’s a lot to discuss for the COF mechanisms #POLYMATsptl
How crystalline are COFs? Particles are typically in microns and roughly 50 nm thick #POLYMATsptl
Some daunting questions that needs answering for COFs #POLYMATsptl
Ron Smaldone (@ronsmaldone) cracks up the post lunch sleepy crowd by the bootie (boot selfie) and COFs for girls sign he discovered in San Sebastián #POLYMATSptl
How one can game the synthetic toolbox to overcome issues in COF synthesis, is his drive, and then the imine azine mechanism control on the spot by favoring thermodynamic product #POLYMATsptl
If you want crystalline COF use boronic ester reactions. Not so quite says Ron, particularly for hexaphenyl benzene derivatives #POLYMATSptl
Omar Yaghi opens up second day with candid insights into COF discovery, including a Romeo and Juliet story #POLYMATsptl
Diamondoid frameworks will always be interpenetrated because of the self dual nature of diamond says Omar #POLYMATsptl
It turns out Donglin Jiang scooped Omar on the phenazine COFs #POLYMATsptl
Dirk Guldi of FAU takes the stage for his work on 2D materials for photochemical charge separations #POLYMATsptl
The more steeply curved the carbon sheets the more p-doped character they’re. #POLYMATsptl
Dirk concludes his talk and the day with the evolution of carbon surfaces with p/n doped characters optimized #POLYMATsptl
How to prove you’ve made 500,000 bonds per micron sq.? There’s no single analytical tool but one can combine synchrotron, xrd kinetics study and volume contraction, and a whole lot of optimism - Dieter Schlüter #POLYMATsptl
It turns out anthracene cages cross-link in a random fashion #POLYMATsptl
Taking a disorderly organized crystalline needles and mixing with TFA or other acids, you force into hexagonal packing #POLYMATsptl
