Layer stacking and chemical stability are crucial for two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (2D COFs), but are yet challenging to gain control. In this work, we demonstrate synthetic control of both the layer stacking and chemical stability of 2D COFs by managing interlayer steric hindrance vi...
