	abstract = {<p>COFs represent a class of polymers with designable crystalline structures capable of interacting with active metal nanoparticles to form excellent heterogeneous catalysts. Many valuable ligands/monomers employed in making coordination/organic polymers are prepared via Heck and C-C couplings. Here, we report an amphiphilic triazine COF and the facile single-step loading of Pd-0 nanoparticles into it. An 18-20\% nano-Pd loading gives highly active composite working in open air at low concentrations (Conc. Pd(0) \&lt; 0.05 mol\%, average TON 1500) catalyzing simultaneous multiple site Heck couplings and C-C couplings using {\textquoteleft}non-boronic acid{\textquoteright} substrates, and exhibits good recyclability with no sign of catalyst leaching. As an oxidation catalyst, it shows 100\% conversion of CO to CO2 at 150 degrees C with no loss of activity with time and between cycles. Both vapor sorptions and contact angle measurements confirm the amphiphilic character of the COF. DFT-TB studies showed the presence of Pd-triazine and Pd-Schiff bond interactions as being favorable.</p>},
