ABSTRACT
We explore the growth mechanism of 3D Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) using imine-linked model systems. We confirm that 3D imine COFs crystalize through an amorphous polymer intermediate, whose conditional state is key for preferential generation of the ideal porous structure over the collapsed hydrated form.
