Abstract
Chemotherapy as a common anticancer therapeutic modality is often challenged by various obstacles such as poor stability, low solubility, and severe side effects of chemotherapeutic agents as well as multidrug resistance of cancerous cells. Nanoparticles in the role of carriers for chemotherapeutic drugs and platforms for combining different therapeutic approaches have effectively participated in overcoming such drawbacks. In particular, nanoparticles able to induce their therapeutic effect in response to specific stimuli like tumor microenvironment characteristics (e.g., hypoxia, acidic pH, high levels of glutathione, and overexpressed hydrogen peroxide) or extrinsic stimulus of laser light bring about more precise and selective treatments. Among them, nanostructures of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have drawn great interest in biomedical fields during recent years. Possessing large surface area, high porosity, structural stability, and customizable architecture, these biocompatible porous crystalline polymers properly translate to promising platforms for drug delivery and induction of combination therapies. With the focus on stimuli-responsive characteristics of nanoscale COFs, this study aims to propose an overview of their potentiality in cancer treatment on the basis of chemotherapy alone or in combination with sonodynamic, chemodynamic, photodynamic, and photothermal therapies.

Abstract
2D covalent organic framework (COF) materials with extended conjugated structure and periodic columnar π-arrays exhibit promising applications in organic optoelectronics. However, there is a scarcity of reports on optoelectronic COFs, mainly due to the lack of suitable π-skeletons. Here, two multi-functional optoelectronic 2D COFs DPP-TPP-COF and DPP-TBB-COF are constructed with diketopyrrolopyrrole as electron acceptor (A), and 1,3,6,8-tetraphenylpyrene and 1,3,5-triphenylbenzene as electron donor (D) through imine bonds. Both 2D COFs showed good crystallinities and AA stacking with a rhombic framework for DPP-TPP-COF and hexagonal one for DPP-TBB-COF, respectively. The electron D-A and ordered intermolecular packing structures endow the COFs with broad UV-vis absorptions and narrow bandgaps along with suitable HOMO/LUMO energy levels, resulting in multi-functional optoelectronic properties, including photothermal conversion, supercapacitor property, and ambipolar semiconducting behavior. Among them, DPP-TPP-COF exhibits a high photothermal conversion efficiency of 47% under 660 nm laser irradiation, while DPP-TBB-COF exhibits superior specific capacitance of 384 F g-1. Moreover, P-type doping and N-type doping are achieved by iodine and tetrakis(dimethylamino)ethylene on a single host COF, resulting in ambipolar semiconducting behavior. These results provide a paradigm for the application of multi-functional optoelectronic COF materials.

Abstract
The designed synthesis of a crystalline azulene-based covalent organic framework (COF-Azu-TP) is presented and its photothermal property is investigated. Azulene, a distinctive 5-7 fused ring non-benzenoid aromatic compound with a large intramolecular dipole moment and unique photophysical characteristics, is introduced as the key feature in COF-Azu-TP. The incorporation of azulene moiety imparts COF-Azu-TP with broad-spectrum light absorption capability and interlayer dipole interactions, which makes COF-Azu-TP a highly efficient photothermal conversion material. Its polyurethane (PU) composite exhibits a solar-to-vapor conversion efficiency (97.2%) and displays a water evaporation rate (1.43 kg m-2 h-1) under one sun irradiation, even at a very low dosage of COF-Azu-TP (2.2 wt%). Furthermore, COF-Azu-TP is utilized as a filler in a polylactic acid (PLA)/polycaprolactone (PCL) composited shape memory material, enabling rapid shape recovery under laser stimulation. A comparison study with a naphthalene-based COF isomer further emphasizes the crucial role of azulene in enhancing photothermal conversion efficiency. This study demonstrates the significance of incorporating specific building blocks into COFs for the development of functional porous materials with enhanced properties, paving the way for future applications in diverse fields.

Abstract
Magnetic two-dimensional nanocomposites (M2D NCs) that synergistically combine magnetic nanomedicine and 2D nanomaterials have emerged in multimodal antitumor therapy, attracting great interest in materials science and biomedical engineering. This review provides a summary of the recent advances of M2D NCs and their multimodal antitumor applications. We first introduce the design and fabrication of M2D NCs, followed by discussing new types of M2D NCs that have been recently reported. Then, a detailed analysis and discussions about the different types of M2D NCs are presented based on the structural categories of 2D NMs, including 2D graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), transition metal carbides/nitrides/carbonitrides (MXenes), black phosphorus (BP), layered double hydroxides (LDHs), metal organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and other 2D nanomaterials. In particular, we focus on the synthesis strategies, magnetic or optical responsive performance, and the versatile antitumor applications, which include magnetic hyperthermia therapy (MHT), photothermal therapy (PTT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), drug delivery, immunotherapy and multimodal imaging. We conclude the review by proposing future developments with an emphasis on the mass production and biodegradation mechanism of the M2D NCs. This work is expected to provide a comprehensive overview to researchers and engineers who are interested in such a research field and promote the clinical translation of M2D NCs in practical applications.

Abstract
Phthalocyanine photosensitizers (PSs) have shown promise in fluorescence imaging and photodynamic therapy (PDT) of malignant tumors, but their practical application is limited by the aggregation-induced quenching (AIQ) and inherent photobleaching of PSs. Herein, we report the synthesis of a two-dimensional nanoscale covalent organic framework (nCOF) with staggered (AB) stacking of zinc-phthalocyanines (ZnPc), ZnPc-PI, for fluorescence imaging and mitochondria-targeted PDT. ZnPc-PI isolates and confines ZnPc PSs in the rigid nCOF to reduce AIQ, improve photostability, enhance cellular uptake, and increase the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation via mitochondrial targeting. ZnPc-PI shows efficient tumor accumulation, which allowed precise tumor imaging and nanoparticle tracking. With high cellular uptake and tumor accumulation, intrinsic mitochondrial targeting, and enhanced ROS generation, ZnPc-PI exhibits potent PDT efficacy with >95% tumor growth inhibition on two murine colon cancer models without causing side effects.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) based on core@shell nanohybrids have recently received significant attention and have become one of the most promising strategies for improving the stability and catalytic activity of COFs. Compared with traditional core@shell, COF-based core@shell hybrids own remarkable advantages, including size-selective reactions, bifunctional catalysis, and integration of multiple functions. These properties could enhance the stability and recyclability, resistance to sintering, and maximize the electronic interaction between the core and the shell. The activity and selectivity of COF-based core@shell could be simultaneously improved by taking benefit of the existing synergy between the functional encapsulating shell and the covered core material. Considering that, we have highlighted various topological diagrams and the role of COFs in COF-based core@shell hybrid for activity and selectivity enhancement. This concept article provides all-inclusive advances in the design and catalytic applications of COF-based core@shell hybrids. Various synthetic techniques have been developed for the facile tailoring of functional core@shell hybrids, including novel seed growth, in-situ, layer-by-layer, and one-pot method. Importantly, charge dynamics and structure-performance relationships are investigated through different characterization techniques. Different COF-based core@shell hybrids with established synergistic interactions have been detailed, and their influence on stability and catalytic efficiency for various applications is explained and discussed in this contribution. A comprehensive discussion on the remaining challenges associated with COF-based core@shell nanoparticles and research directions has also been provided to deliver insightful ideas for additional future developments.

Abstract
Cancer has emerged as a pressing global public health issue, and improving the effectiveness of cancer treatment remains one of the foremost challenges of modern medicine. The primary clinical methods of treating cancer, including surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, inevitably result in some adverse effects on the body. However, the advent of photothermal therapy offers an alternative route for cancer treatment. Photothermal therapy relies on photothermal agents with photothermal conversion capability to eliminate tumors at high temperatures, which offers advantages of high precision and low toxicity. As nanomaterials increasingly play a pivotal role in tumor prevention and treatment, nanomaterial-based photothermal therapy has gained significant attention owing to its superior photothermal properties and tumor-killing abilities. In this review, we briefly summarize and introduce the applications of common organic photothermal conversion materials (e.g., cyanine-based nanomaterials, porphyrin-based nanomaterials, polymer-based nanomaterials, etc.) and inorganic photothermal conversion materials (e.g., noble metal nanomaterials, carbon-based nanomaterials, etc.) in tumor photothermal therapy in recent years. Finally, the problems of photothermal nanomaterials in antitumour therapy applications are discussed. It is believed that nanomaterial-based photothermal therapy will have good application prospects in tumor treatment in the future.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have gained tremendous interest in cancer therapy owing to their multifunctional properties, such as biocompatibility, tunable cavities, excellent crystallinity, ease of modification/functionalization, and high flexibility.

Abstract
Combined photodynamic/photothermal therapy (PDT/PTT) has emerged as a promising cancer treatment modality due to its potential synergistic effects and identical treatment procedures. However, its clinical application is hindered by long treatment times and complicated treatment operations when separate illumination sources are required. Here, we present the development of a new nanohybrid comprising thiolated chitosan-coated gold nanostars (AuNS-TCS) as the photothermal agent and riboflavin-conjugated N,S-doped graphene quantum dot (Rf-N,S-GQD) as the two-photon photosensitizer (TP-PS). The nanohybrid demonstrated combined TP-PDT/PTT when a low-power, single-pulsed laser irradiation was applied, and the localized surface plasmon resonance of AuNS was in resonance with the TP-absorption wavelength of Rf-N,S-GQD. The TCS coating significantly enhanced the colloidal stability of AuNSs while providing a suitable substrate to electrostatically anchor negatively charged Rf-N,S-GQDs. The plasmon-enhanced singlet oxygen (1O2) generation effect led to boosted 1O2 production both extracellularly and intracellularly. Notably, the combined TP-PDT/PTT exhibited significantly improved phototherapeutic outcomes compared to individual strategies against 2D monolayer cells and 3D multicellular tumor spheroids. Overall, this study reveals a successful single-laser-triggered, synergistic combined TP-PDT/PTT based on a plasmonic metal/QD hybrid, with potential for future investigation in clinical settings.

Abstract
Porphyrinic covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have emerged as prospective materials in photodynamic and photothermal sterilization. However, it is still a great challenge to construct an efficient COF-based sterilizing agent with good photothermal and photodynamic properties and bacterial targeting ability. Herein, we report a multifunctional porphyrin-COF for bacterial-targeted and reaction-enhanced synergistic phototherapy/chemotherapy for sterilization and wound healing. The ordered crystal structure of the porphyrin-COF not only effectively avoids the self-aggregation-induced quenching of the porphyrin monomer, but also facilitates the storage and transport of singlet oxygen. The acrylate substituent in the other monomer serves as a bacterial targeting moiety and the in situ reaction site with the sulfhydryl group of the bacterial surface protein via a Michael addition reaction, thus fixing the bacteria on the surface of COF and making them lose the colonization ability. Furthermore, the bonding of COF and bacteria further amplifies the therapeutic efficiency of phototherapy. Therefore, the developed multifunctional sterilization platform not only provides a new strategy for the design of novel bactericidal materials but also broadens the biological applications of COF-based materials.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancers is seriously restricted by tumor hypoxia. In addition to the intrinsic hypoxic microenvironment, continuous photoirradiation further aggravates intratumoral hypoxia, thereby reducing the PDT effect significantly. Oxygen-independent PDT is recognized as an efficient approach to overcome this issue. Herein, singlet oxygen (1 O2 )-stored covalent organic framework (COF) nanoparticles loading the near-infrared (NIR) dye cypate, which realize oxygen-independent 1 O2 production for concurrent photothermal therapy (PTT) and PDT under NIR irradiation, are presented. The cypate-loading COF nanoparticles are prepared by using the photosensitizers and 1 O2 -stored molecules via formation of Schiff base bonds, followed by coverage of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone). The COF nanoparticles significantly improve the photostability and photothermal conversion efficiency of cypate by protecting them from photodegradation under NIR irradiation. Upon 660 nm laser irradiation, 1 O2 is produced by the photosensitizer motifs and is successfully stored by the 1 O2 -stored moieties. After intravenous injection and tumor accumulation, the COF nanoparticles can generate heat quickly upon 808 nm irradiation which induces the efficient release of the stored 1 O2 to ablate tumors via O2 -independent concurrent PTT/PDT. Accordingly, the COF nanocarriers of 1 O2 provide a paradigm to develop O2 -independent concurrent PTT/PDT for precise cancer treatment upon NIR irradiation.

Abstract
Providing safe and clean domestic water for people is currently one of the greatest worldwide issues. In this context, heavy metal ions and pathogenic microbes are the two major factors in water pollution. The conventional water treatment methods, however, are generally high-energy and high-resource consumptive. Herein, we report, the first of its kind, the room-temperature synthesis of α-aminophosphonate-linked COFs via three-component one-pot in situ Kabachnik-Fields reaction (KF-3CR). Due to the coexistent bioactive α-aminophosphonate and photosensitive porphyrin, the obtained APCOF-1 exhibits highly efficient solar-powered bactericidal and heavy metal ion removal abilities, which allows it to be a promising COF-based multifunctional material for water treatment in an energy- and resource-saving way. Specifically, by incorporating APCOF-1 (up to 50 wt%) with eco-friendly and low-cost chitosan, an APCOF-1 @chitosan aerogel-based helical setup is fabricated via a facile templated freeze-drying approach and it can be a continuous flow-through water purifier model to achieve scaled-up water treatment through adsorptive removal of heavy metal ions and sunlight-driven sterilization. We believe that this research not only can significantly enrich the synthetic methodology of COFs, but also will hopefully bring COFs one step closer to the practical application.

Abstract
Finding a personalized nano theranostics solution, a nanomedicine for cancer diagnosis and therapy, is among the top challenges of current medicinal science. Porous organic polymers (POPs) are permanent porous organic materials prepared by linking relatively rigid multidimensional organic building blocks. POP nanoparticles have a remarkable advantage for cancer theranostics owing to their specific physicochemical characteristics such as high surface area, convincing pore size engineering, stimuli-responsive degradability, negligible toxicity, open covalent post-synthesis modification possibilities etc. POPs have crystalline and non-crystalline characteristics; crystalline POPs are popularly known as covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and have shown potential application across research areas in science. The early research and development on theranostics applications of nanoscale POPs has shown tremendous future potential for clinical translation. This tutorial review highlights the recently developed promising applications of nPOPs in drug loading, targeted delivery, endogenous and exogenous stimuli-responsive release, cancer imaging and combination therapy, regardless of their crystalline and poorly crystalline properties. The review will provide a platform for the future development and clinical translation of nPOPs by solving fundamental challenges of cancer nanomedicines in drug loading efficiency, size-optimization, biocompatibility, dispersibility and cell uptake ability.

Abstract
Developing spherical nucleic acids with new structures holds great promise for nanomedicine and bioanalytical fields. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are emerging promising materials with unique properties for a wide range of applications. However, devising COF-based spherical nucleic acid is challenging because methods for the preparation of functionalized COFs are still limited. We report here a bonding defect-amplified modification (BDAM) strategy for the facile preparation of functionalized COFs. Poly(acrylic acid) was employed as the defect amplifier to modify the surface of COF nanoparticles by the formation of amide bonds with amino residues, which successfully converted and amplified the residues into abundant reactive carboxyl groups. Then, amino terminal-decorated hairpin DNA was densely grafted onto the surface of COF nanoparticles (NPs) to give rise to a spherical nucleic acid probe (SNAP). A series of experiments and characterizations proved the successful preparation of the COF-based SNAP, and its application in specifically lighting up RNA biomarkers in living cells for cancer diagnostic imaging was demonstrated. Therefore, the COF-based SNAP is a promising candidate for biomedical applications and the proposed BDAM represents a useful strategy for the preparation of functionalized COFs for diverse fields.

Abstract
In recent years, the number of patients diagnosed with cancer has been soaring. Therefore, the design, development, and implementation of new approaches for the diagnosis and therapy of different types of cancers have attracted an increasing amount of attention. To date, different methods have been used for cancer diagnosis and therapy with main drawbacks in terms of severe side effects, e.g., damage to healthy cells, development of drug resistance and tumor recurrence. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the introduction and application of innovative methods. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are versatile materials with excellent properties in terms of biocompatibility, porous and crystalline structure, and easy functionalization. The porous structure and organic monomers in COFs allow them to load different therapeutic drugs and/or functional species efficiently. These promising properties make COFs ideal candidates for medical application, especially in cancer diagnosis and therapy. To date, many studies have focused on the design and synthesis of novel COFs while their application as diagnostic and therapeutic materials remains less understood.
