Instrumentation
Single-crystal x-ray diffraction (SXRD). The laboratory SXRD data were collected at
150 K on an Agilent SuperNova diffractometer with a 4-circle kappa goniometer, an Eos
CCD detector, and a micro-focus high-brilliance source with Cu Κα radiation (λ = 1.5418
Å), and collected at 100 K on a Rigaku XtaLAB Rapid-S X-ray diffractometer with a 4-
circle kappa goniometer, an IP detector, and a rotating-anode generator producing Mo Κα
radiation (λ = 0.7107 Å). Data reduction and analysis were both performed with the
CrysAlisPro software (version 1.171.39.9f). The synchrotron SXRD data were collected
at the Beamline BL17B1, BL17U1 of Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF)
with λ = 0.9840 and 0.9786 Å; and at Beamline 11.3.1 of Advanced Light Source (ALS,
LBNL) with λ = 1.0332 and 1.2399 Å. All the datasets of single-crystal COFs were
collected at 100 K, and the data were accordingly processed with CrysAlisPro (version
1.171.37.35), HKL2000 (28), and APEXII (29) software packages, depending on the
instrument setup. The structure solution and refinement were carried out using the
SHELX algorithms in Olex2 (30, 31). Crystal data and details of the structure refinement
for single-crystal COFs are given in Tables S1-S7 and in the attached CIFs. Mercury and
Diamond softwares were used for structural visualization (32, 33).
Powder x-ray diffraction (PXRD). The PXRD data were collected on a PANalytical
X’Pert Pro diffractometer with Cu Kα radiation of λ = 1.5418 Å at 40 kV and 40 mA.
Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR). All the SSNMR experiments were
performed with magic angle spinning (MAS) on a Bruker Avance II 400 MHz wide-bore
solid-state NMR spectrometer at a magnetic field of 9.4 T. 13C MAS NMR data were
acquired at the Larmor frequency (ν0) of 100.6 MHz and 29Si MAS NMR data were
acquired at ν0 of 79.5 MHz. Both the 13C and 29Si chemical shifts were referenced to
tetramethylsilane (TMS) at 0 ppm (δiso). All the 13C and 29Si experiments were carried out
on a standard 4 mm double-resonance probe with the sample spinning rate of 10 kHz. 13C

cross-polarization (CP) MAS experiments were carried out with a 1H π/2 pulse length of
3.2 μs, a contact time of 3 ms, a pulse delay of 3 s, and a TPPM decoupling frequency of
78.1 kHz. The 29Si CP/MAS spectra were acquired with a 1H π/2 pulse length of 4.0 μs, a
contact time of 6.5 ms, a pulse delay of 3 s, and a TPPM decoupling frequency of 62.5
kHz.
N2 adsorption-desorption analysis. The N2 adsorption-desorption experiments were
conducted on a Micromeritics ASAP 2020 Surface Area and Porosimetry Analyzer. The
sample was degassed at 120 °C for 12 h before the measurements. N2 isotherms were
recorded at 77 K by using ultra-high purity N2 (99.999% purity). Data analysis was
conducted using ASAP 2020 V4.00 software. The surface area was determined using
Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) adsorption model, and the pore volume was determined
using the single point adsorption model and provided in the main text. The pore size
distribution was calculated from the adsorption isotherm by nonlocal density functional
theory (NLDFT) method and provided in the main text.
Other characterization methods. 1H and 13C liquid NMR spectra were recorded on a
Bruker Avance III 400 MHz NMR spectrometer at room temperature. The chemical
shifts are given in ppm (parts per million) relative to TMS and the coupling constants J
are given in Hz. DMSO-d6 was used as deuterated solvent. TMS served as the internal
standard (δ = 0.00 ppm) for 1H NMR, while DMSO-d6 as the internal standard (δ = 39.5
ppm) for 13C NMR. HRMS data were obtained with ESI ionization sources on a Bruker
micrOTOF Q II mass spectrometer. The elemental analyses were carried out on an
Elementar Analysensysteme GmbH vario EL cube V1.2.1 elemental analyzer. The
scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images were obtained on a Hitachi S-4800 field
emission scanning electron microscope at the accelerating voltages of 5.0 to 10.0 kV. The
optical micrographs were recorded on a Leica DM4000B microscope equipped with a
DFC420C camera. The Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra were recorded with a
Nicolet Nexus 670 FT-IR spectrometer. The thermogravimetric (TG) curves were
recorded on a Netzsch STA449C simultaneous thermal analyzer.

Section S2. Synthesis of COF Building Blocks and COF Crystallization
The building blocks used for synthesizing COFs, such as tetrakis(4-
aminophenyl)methane (TAM), tetrakis(4-formylphenyl)methane (TFM), and tetrakis(4-
formylphenyl)silane (TFS) were synthesized according to the reported procedures (34-
38). 4,7-bis(4-formylbenzyl)-1H-benzimidazole (BFBZ), the aldehyde monomer of LZU-
79, was synthesized according to the following procedures (Scheme S1). Polycrystalline
COF-300 was synthesized according to the reported procedure. (21).
Scheme S1. Preparation of aldehyde building block (BFBZ) for LZU-79.
4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)benzaldehyde (2)
(4-formylphenyl)boronic acid (1) (2.0 g, 13.3 mmol) and 2,3-dimethylbutane-2,3-diol
(1.6 g, 13.3 mmol) were dissolved in 20 mL Et2O in a round-bottom flask. 4 Å zeolite
(2.0 g) was dispersed to the reaction mixture. The mixture was stirred at room
temperature for 12 h. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was filtered and the
filtrate was then evaporated under reduced pressure to give 2 as a white solid. This solid
was used for the next reaction without further purification.
4,7-bis(4-formylbenzyl)-1H-benzimidazole (BFBZ).
Under argon atmosphere, 4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)benzaldehyde
(2) (2.0 g, 8.6 mmol), 4,7-dibromo-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (3) (1.0 g, 3.6 mmol), K2CO3
(1.5 g, 10.8 mmol), and Pd(PPh3)4 (419.0 mg, 0.2 mmol) were added into a two-neck
flask. A degassed mixture of 1,4-dioxane (28 mL) and H2O (7 mL) was added into the
flask. The reaction mixture was stirred and refluxed at 100 °C for 24 h. After cooling to
room temperature, water was added and the organic product was extracted with ethyl
acetate. The combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous
Na2SO4, and then evaporated under reduced pressure to provide the crude product as a
brown solid. The crude product was purified by flash column chromatography on silica
gel using n-hexane: ethyl acetate =1: 2 as the eluent to give pure BFBZ as a yellow
powder. Yield: 51.1% (0.6 g). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ = 12.92 (s, 1H), 10.12

Crystallization of single-crystalline COF-300 with the average size of ~ 60 μm.
A vial was charged with terephthaldehyde (BDA, 12.0 mg, 0.089 mmol), aniline (0.12
mL, 15 equiv.) and 0.5 mL of 1,4-dioxane, then 0.2 mL of aqueous acetic acid (6 M) was
added to the solution. Tetrakis(4-aminophenyl)methane (TAM, 20.0 mg, 0.052 mmol)
dissolved in 1,4-dioxane (0.5 mL) was then added. Then the mixture was allowed to
further stand at ambient temperature. The single crystals of COF-300 slowly crystallized
out at ambient temperature and the crystal size reached ~60 μm within 30 to 40 days and
some crystals further reached ~100 μm in 80 days. The as-synthesized single crystals
were picked up directly for SXRD measurements. To reach a better diffraction resolution,
some of the as-synthesized crystals were immersed in 1,4-dioxane for 24 h and then in
isopropanol for 24 h to exchange out the guest molecules in the pores (such as 1,4-
dioxane, aniline, acetic acid, H2O, unreacted building blocks, etc.). Despite the increase
of diffraction resolution, the atomic positions of solvent guest molecules could not be
obtained. Part of the as-synthesized crystals were immersed in 1,4-dioxane for 24 h and
then in water for 24 h to exchange the guest molecules in the pores, and the H2O-
exchanged COF-300 crystals were also subject to the SXRD measurements. Further
activation of COF-300 was carried out by Soxhlet extraction in 1,4-dioxane for 24 h,
drying at ambient temperature for 12 h, at 100 oC for 12 h, and at 120 oC in vacuum for
12 h to afford yellow crystals. Yield: 49.8% (11.3 mg). This activated sample was then
used for a series of characterizations including elemental analysis, SEM, PXRD,
SSNMR, FT-IR, and TGA. Elemental analysis results: calcd. for C41H28N4: C 85.42%; H
4.86%; N 9.72%. Found: C 82.86%; H 5.03%; N 8.76%.
Crystallization of single-crystalline COF-300 with the average crystal size from 1 to
30 μm.
The key strategy for the controllable synthesis of COF-300 with different crystal sizes is
the addition of aniline with different quantities, which offered different degrees of
inhibition for nucleation. The typical procedure is listed as follows: vials were charged
with BDA (12.0 mg, 0.05 mmol), aniline (0.005 ~ 0.12 mL, 0.6 ~ 15 equiv.) and 0.5 mL
of 1,4-dioxane then 0.2 mL of aqueous acetic acid (6 M) was added to the solutions.
TAM (20.0 mg, 0.05 mmol) dissolved in 1,4-dioxane (0.5 mL) was then added. Mixtures
with different turbidity were obtained, which were heated further at 120 oC or left to
stand at ambient temperature for 3 ~ 10 days. The single crystals of COF-300 with
different crystal sizes then slowly crystallized out, and the crystal sizes ranged from ~ 1 ~
30 μm. Further activation for these COF-300 samples were carried out as procedures
described above to afford yellow crystals. The phase purity of these samples was then
verified by PXRD and SEM.
Crystallization of single-crystalline COF-303 with the average size of ~ 15 μm.
A vial was charged with tetrakis(4-formylphenyl)methane (TFM, 10.8 mg, 0.025 mmol),
aniline (0.12 mL, 52 equiv.), and 0.25 mL of 1,4-dioxane, then 0.1 mL of aqueous acetic
acid (6 M) was added to the solution. Phenylenediamine (PDA, 5.4 mg, 0.05 mmol)
dissolved in 1,4-dioxane (0.25 mL) was then added. Then the mixture was allowed to
further stand at ambient temperature. The single crystals of COF-303 then slowly
Page 7

crystallized out at ambient temperature and the crystal size reached ~15 μm in 15 days.
The as-synthesized single crystals were picked up directly for SXRD measurements.
Further activation for COF-303 was carried out as procedures described above to afford
yellow crystals. Yield: 56.9% (8.2 mg). This activated sample was then used for a series
of characterizations including elemental analysis, SEM, PXRD, SSNMR, FT-IR, and
TGA. Elemental analysis results: calcd. for C41H28N4: C 85.42%; H 4.86%; N 9.72%.
Found: C 86.53%; H 4.93%; N 8.99%. The obtained new solid material was
characterized as the COF-303, which was insoluble in boiling water and common organic
solvents (such as acetone, methanol, tetrahydrofuran, and N,N-dimethylformamide).
Crystallization of single-crystalline LZU-79 with the average size of ~ 100 μm.
A vial was charged with 4,7-bis(4-formylbenzyl)-1H-benzimidazole (BFBZ, 17.0 mg,
0.052 mmol), aniline (0.12 mL, 25 equiv.) and 0.75 mL of 1,4-dioxane, then 0.2 mL of
aqueous acetic acid (6 M) was added to the solution. Tetrakis(4-aminophenyl)methane
(TAM, 10.0 mg, 0.026 mmol) dissolved in 1,4-dioxane (0.75 mL) was then added. Then
the mixture was allowed to further stand at ambient temperature. The single crystals of
LZU-79 then slowly crystallized out at ambient temperature and the crystal size reached
~50 μm in 20 days and further reached ~100 μm in 50 days. The as-synthesized single
crystals were picked up directly for SXRD measurements. To reach a better diffraction
resolution, some of the as-synthesized crystals were immersed in 1,4-dioxane for 24 h
and then in cyclohexanol for 24 h to exchange the guest molecules in the pores. The
cyclohexanol-exchanged LZU-79 crystals were also subject to SXRD measurements to
reach a resolution of 1.25 Å. Despite the increase of diffraction resolution, the atomic
positions of solvent guest molecules could not be obtained. Further activation of LZU-79
was carried out as procedures described above to afford yellow crystals. Yield: 42.6%
(10.7 mg). This activated sample was then used for a series of characterizations including
elemental analysis, SEM, PXRD, SSNMR, FT-IR, and TGA. Elemental analysis results:
calcd. for C67H40N8: C 84.08%; H 4.21%; N 11.71%. Found: C 87.17%; H 4.72%; N
11.41%. This obtained new solid material was characterized as the LZU-79, which was
insoluble in boiling water and common organic solvents (such as acetone, methanol,
tetrahydrofuran, and N,N-dimethylformamide).
Crystallization of single-crystalline LZU-111 with the average size of ~ 50 μm.
A vial was charged with tetrakis(4-formylphenyl)silane (TFS, 22.4 mg, 0.05 mmol),
aniline (0.36 mL, 80 equiv.) and 0.5 mL of 1,4-dioxane, then 0.2 mL of aqueous acetic
acid (6 M) was added to the solution. Tetrakis(4-aminophenly)methane (TAM, 19.0 mg,
0.05 mmol) dissolved in 1,4-dioxane (0.5 mL) was then added. Then the mixture was
allowed to further stand at ambient temperature. The single crystals of LZU-111 then
slowly crystallized out at ambient temperature and the crystal size reached ~45 μm in 47
days and further reached ~55 μm in 80 days. The as-synthesized single crystals were
picked up directly for SXRD measurements. To reach a better diffraction resolution,
some of the as-synthesized crystals were immersed in 1,4-dioxane or in cyclohexanol for
24 h to exchange the guest molecules in the pores. Despite the increase of diffraction
resolution, the atomic positions of solvent guest molecules could not be obtained. Further
activation of LZU-111 was carried out as procedures mentioned above to afford light

yellow crystals. Yield: 43.9% (16.6 mg). This activated sample was then used for a series
of characterizations including elemental analysis, SEM, PXRD, SSNMR, FT-IR, and
TGA and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms. Elemental analysis results: calcd. for
C53H36N4Si: C 84.09%; H 4.79%; N 7.40%. Found: C 83.14%; H 4.12%; N 7.07%. The
obtained LZU-111 was insoluble in boiling water and common organic solvents (such as
acetone, methanol, tetrahydrofuran, and N,N-dimethylformamide).
Modulated crystallization of COFs with monodentate amines or aldehydes.
Substituted anilines such as cyclohexylamine, p-haloanilines, o-haloanilines, m-
haloanilines, p-methylaniline, o-toluidine, m-toluidine, p-nitroaniline, o-nitroaniline, p-
methoxyaniline were used to synthesis of different COFs, but all of them did not perform
as efficient modulators. Specifically, some substituted anilines (such as p-
methoxyaniline, p-bromoaniline, p-methylaniline etc.) first reacted with aldehyde
monomer very quickly, and their condensation products precipitated as stable and
insoluble solids. Precipitation precludes the subsequent reactions that form COFs. Thus,
these substituted anilines cannot be used to modulate the reaction. Other substituted
anilines (such as p-nitroaniline, p-iodoaniline, m-toluidine etc.) reacted with aldehyde
monomer very slowly, and their condensation products were unstable; these products
decompose back to substituted anilines and aldehyde monomer. As observed in
experiments, some precipitates were initially produced after minor addition of acid,
which are then slowly dissolved to give a homogeneous mixture. After the amine
monomer was added, precipitation of amorphous solids was observed immediately,
which is typical during the synthesis of nano-crystals. This indicates that the amine
monomer reacted with aldehyde monomer directly without any intermediacy of the
aniline. Monodentate aldehydes such as acetaldehyde, benzaldehyde or substituted
benzaldehydes (p-halobenzaldehydes, p-nitrobenzaldehyde, p-tolualdehyde) were also
investigated, but did not produce any crystalline material.

The imine connectivity in both COF-300 and COF-303 is the only structural difference
between these frameworks. This minor difference can be distinguished by comparison of
torsion angles in aniline (C−C=N−C torsion angle) and benzylidene (C−C−C=N torsions
angle) moieties. In addition, the values for torsion angles for the molecular analog
benzylideneaniline are listed (24).

LZU-79. A needle-shaped crystal (100 × 20 × 20 μm3) of LZU-79 was measured at
beamline BL17B1 at the SSRF with radiation of λ = 0.9840 Å. According to the intensity
statistics table for the whole dataset (PRP file), the resolution was cut off to 1.25 Å.
Solvent masking was applied during structure refinement. The connected asymmetric unit
was defined inside the unit cell: MOVE command was applied to all atoms. The
weighting scheme is refined as well as the extinction coefficient. The initial structure
model of LZU-79 was established via the direct determination of the quaternary carbon
positions from SHELXS. The structure was refined isotropically and hydrogen atoms
were placed into positions calculated geometrically. The phenyl groups were refined as
rigid bodies. Due to the weak intensity and disorder of solvent molecules in the pore, the
final refinement converged at relatively large R-values.

LZU-111. The laboratory SXRD data of LZU-111 were collected on an Agilent
SuperNova diffractometer with Cu Κα radiation (λ = 1.5418 Å). The unit cell parameters
were initially determined from 263 reflections. The whole dataset had a relatively low
resolution (~1.8 Å), which was not enough for the structure refinement. Thus, a
hexagonal prism-shaped crystal (60 × 50 × 30 μm3) of LZU-111 was measured at
beamline BL17B1 of the SSRF with radiation of λ = 0.9786 Å. According to the intensity
statistics table for the whole dataset (PRP file), the resolution was cut off to 1.20 Å. The
initial structure model of LZU-111 was established via the direct determination of the Si
positions from SHELXS. The phenyl groups were refined as rigid bodies. The structure
was refined isotropically, except for silicon atoms, which were refined anisotropically,
and hydrogen atoms were placed into positions calculated geometrically. Solvent
masking was applied during structure refinement. The connected asymmetric unit was
defined inside the unit cell: MOVE command was applied to all atoms. The weighting

Section S4. Powder x-ray Diffraction Analysis
COF-300. PXRD data were collected on a PANalytical X’Pert Pro diffractometer with
Cu Kα radiation of λ = 1.5418 Å at 40 kV and 40 mA. Prior to analysis, the samples were
ground and mounted on flat sample holders. The samples were then measured with a
Bragg angle (2θ) range of 5.0º to 50.0º using a step size of 0.0167º and a scan time of 2 s
per step.
The intense background at 2θ range of 17.5º to 27.5º in the powder pattern of 1,4-
dioxane-exchanged COF-300 was caused by the large quantity of liquid 1,4-dioxane.
Similarly, the background in the powder pattern of hydrated COF-300 was caused by
large quantity of liquid H2O. The calculated PXRD pattern according to the “solvent-
masked” single-crystal structure of COF-300 are in light brown; the calculated PXRD
pattern for hydrated COF-300 according to the hydrated single-crystal structure of COF-
300 is in purple. The intensity values along the Y−axis were normalized for comparison.
The PXRD pattern of single-crystal COF-300 is different from those of the building
blocks, indicating that a new crystalline phase has been formed. As confirmed by SXRD,
the structure transformation of single-crystal COF-300 was also indicated by PXRD, as
shown in patterns of different solvated COF-300 samples and activated COF-300. This
kind of structure transformation is reversible.

those of the building blocks, indicating that a new crystalline phase has been formed. The
background from 2θ = 17.5º ~ 27.5º in the pattern of activated LZU-79 may be caused by
disorder in structure after the sustaining guest molecules were removed.

LZU-111. PXRD data were collected on a PANalytical X’Pert Pro diffractometer with Cu
Kα radiation of λ = 1.5418 Å at 40 kV and 40 mA. Prior to analysis, the samples were
ground and mounted on flat sample holders. The samples were then measured with the
Bragg angle (2θ) range of 3.0º to 35.0º using a step size of 0.0167º and a scan time of 2 s
per step.
The intense background of 2θ range of 17.5º to 27.5º in the powder pattern of 1,4-dioxane-
exchanged LZU-111 was caused by the large quantity of liquid 1,4-dioxane. The calculated
PXRD pattern according to the “solvent-masked” single-crystal structure of LZU-111 is in
light brown. The intensity values along the Y−axis were normalized for comparison. No
peaks after 2θ = 35.0º was observed in the experimental pattern of LZU-111. The PXRD
patterns of single-crystal LZU-111 samples are different from those of the building blocks,
indicating that a new crystalline phase has been formed. No obvious structure
transformation between solvated and activated samples is apparent from PXRD patterns.

Section S5. Solid-state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Analysis
COF-300. The 13C CP/MAS measurements of BDA, TAM and activated COF-300 were
carried out on a standard 4 mm double-resonance probe with the sample spinning rate of
10 kHz. The assignments for 13C NMR signals are shown as insets. Asterisks denote the
spinning sidebands. The 13C CP/MAS NMR signal of the BDA at 195 ppm correspond to
the carbon atoms at the terminal aldehyde groups (−CHO), and the signal of the TAM at
64 ppm corresponds to the quaternary carbon atoms. The signal of −CHO disappeared
and the signal of quaternary carbon atoms appeared in the 13C CP/MAS NMR spectrum
of COF-300, indicating that the two building blocks have reacted to form COF-300. In
addition, new signals appear in the 13C CP/MAS NMR spectrum of COF-300 at 155 and
159 ppm, which offer direct evidence for the successful formation of imine bonds
(−C=N−) throughout the COF-300 framework.

correspond to the carbon atoms at the terminal aldehyde groups (−CHO), and the signal
of the TAM at 64 ppm corresponds to the quaternary carbon atoms. The signal of −CHO
disappeared and the signal of quaternary carbon atoms appeared in the 13C CP/MAS
NMR spectrum of LZU-111, indicating that the two building blocks have reacted to
