Abstract
The rapid advancement in developing polyoxometalate-based covalent organic frameworks (POMCOFs)—a novel class of extended porous materials—has greatly expanded the functional scope of cutting-edge heterogeneous catalysts. These crystalline frameworks demonstrate remarkable efficiency across diverse catalytic applications, including redox processes, organic transformations, water splitting, and environmental remediation. By integrating the distinctive properties of both polyoxometalates (POMs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs), POMCOFs provide a unified platform with enhanced functionality. Ongoing research not only broaden their versatility and applicability but also open new directions for designing next-generation catalytic systems capable of supporting a wide range of chemical reactions. This presentation summarizes recent synthetic approaches and catalytic performances of POMCOFs, organizes their classification, and offers a comprehensive perspective on their future potential in emerging areas of chemistry.
