Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) represent an important class of crystalline porous materials with designable structures and functions. The interconnected monomers, featuring pre-designed symmetries connectivities, dictate the COFs, endowing them high thermal chemical stability, large surface area, tunable micropores. Furthermore, by utilizing pre-functionalization or post-synthetic functionalization strategies, COFs can acquire multifunctionalities, leading to their versatile applications in gas separation/storage, catalysis, optoelectronic devices. Our review provides a comprehensive account latest advancements principles, methods, techniques for structural design determination COFs. These cutting-edge approaches enable rational precise elucidation COF structures, addressing fundamental physicochemical challenges associated host-guest interactions, topological transformations, network interpenetration, defect-mediated catalysis.
