Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a rapidly developing class of materials that have been of immense research interest during the last 10 years. Numerous reviews have been devoted to summarizing the synthesis and applications of COFs. However, the underlying dynamic covalent chemistry (DCC), which is the foundation of COF synthesis, has never been systematically reviewed in this context. Dynamic covalent chemistry is the practice of using thermodynamic equilibriums to molecular assemblies. This Critical Review will cover the state-of-the-art use of DCC to both synthesize COFs and expand the applications of COFs. Five synthetic strategies for COF synthesis are rationalized, namely, modulation, mixed linker/linkage, substoichiometric reaction, framework isomerism, and linker exchange, which highlight the dynamic covalent chemistry to regulate the growth and to modify the properties of COFs. Furthermore, the challenges in these approaches and potential future perspectives in the field of COF chemistry are also provided.

动态共价化学概念在定制共价有机框架纳米材料中的应用：综述

共价有机骨架 (COF) 是一类快速发展的材料，在过去 10 年中引起了巨大的研究兴趣。许多评论致力于总结 COF 的合成和应用。然而，作为 COF 合成基础的动态共价化学 (DCC) 从未在这方面得到系统的综述。动态共价化学是利用热力学平衡进行分子组装的实践。本批判性评论将涵盖 DCC 合成 COF 和扩展 COF 应用的最先进用途。合理化了COF合成的五种合成策略，即调制、混合连接子/连接、亚化学计量反应、骨架异构和连接子交换，突出了动态共价化学来调节COF的生长和改变COF的性质。此外，还提供了这些方法的挑战以及 COF 化学领域的潜在未来前景。
