Thinking inside the COF: Internally functionalized, boroxine‐linked, three‐dimensional, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) can be synthesized by co‐crystallizing a truncated, trifunctional monomer with the parent tetrafunctional building block. The functionalized COFs possess accessible functional groups and a distinct interior microenvironment. In the picture the orange sphere corresponds to an alkyl chain or an allyl group in the pore interior.
