DNA nucleobase to form crystalline porous organic frameworks. Continuing our work of G-quadruplex-driven self-assembly, we found that the same strategy can be used to guide the formation of highly crystalline organic frameworks consisted of segregated donor/acceptor chromophore pi-stacks. The materials display, in addition to high porosity, facile carrier generation and mobility, and can be applied as the cathode material in lithium-ion batteries. The joint force of scientists from three departments (Hupp/Farha @ Chem., Snurr @ Chem. Eng. and Hersam @ Mat Sci.) made this work possible. Thanks, everyone!
