	abstract = {Exponential interest in the field of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) stems from the direct correlation between their modular design principle and various interesting properties. However, existing synthetic approaches to realize this goal mainly result in insoluble and unprocessable powders, which severely restrict their widespread applicability. Therefore, developing a methodology for easy fabrication of these materials remains an alluring goal and a much desired objective. Herein, we have demonstrated a bottom-up interfacial crystallization strategy to fabricate these microcrystalline powders as large-scale thin films under ambient conditions. This unique design principle exploits liquid-liquid interface as a platform, allowing simultaneous control over crystallization and morphology of the framework structure. The thin films are grown without any support in free-standing form and can be transferred onto any desirable substrate. The porous (with Tp-Bpy showing highest SBET of 1a151 m2 g-1) and crystalline thin films, having high chemical as well as thermal stability, also hold the merit to tune the thickness as low as sub-100 nm. These nanostructured thin COF films demonstrate remarkable solvent-permeance and solute-rejection performance. A prominent instance is the Tp-Bpy thin film, which displays an unprecedented acetonitrile permeance of 339 L m-2 h-1 bar-1.},

The COMs show long-term durability, recyclability, and retain their structural integrity in water, organic solvents, and mineral acids. COMs are successfully used in challenging separation applications and recovery of valuable active pharmaceutical ingredients from organic solvents.},

	abstract = {Aqua-bridged coordination polymers of Cu(II) and Cd(II) and a mononuclear complex of Cu(II) were solvothermally synthesized with hydroxy-decorated ligands such as 2-hydroxynicotinic acid (2-OHNAH) and 6-hydroxynicotinic acid (6-OHNAH) in aqueous-nonaqueous mixed media. All these complexes were characterized by elemental analyses (C, H, N), FT-IR, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), powder XRD and single crystal X-ray crystallography. They are formulated as [Cu(2-OHNA)2] 1, [Cu(6-OHNA)2(μ-H2O)2]n 2 and [Cd(6-OHNA)2(μ-H2O)2]n 3. Complex 1 is mononuclear 0D square planar complex which extends its dimensionality by weak supramolecular interactions such as π{\textendash}π stacking interactions and intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Complexes 2 and 3 are polymeric aqua-bridged 1D infinite chain of Cu(II) and Cd(II), respectively. The central metal ions in these two complexes are in octahedral coordination environment. These two complexes are also assembled by π{\textendash}π stacking interactions, inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonding interactions. },
