Three isostructural covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with either methoxyl, hydroxyl, or both groups on the channel wall, are synthesized and served as metal-free heterogeneous catalysts for chemical fixation of CO2 . Among them, the COF decorated with both hydroxyl and methoxyl groups named OMe-OH-TPBP-COF exhibits the highest catalytic activity and efficiency for CO2 cycloaddition under mild conditions.
