Three‐dimensional covalent organic frameworks (3D COFs) are promising crystalline
materials with well‐defined structures, high porosity, and low density; however, the limited …

Boronic acids bind with compounds containing diol moieties with high affinity through
reversible boronate formation. However, the conditions that foster tight binding between the …

Alditols, which have a sweet taste but produce much lower calories than natural sugars, are
widely used as artificial sweeteners. Alditols are the reduced forms of monosaccharide …

Dynamic covalent functionality has been acknowledged as a powerful tool for the
