•COF membranes with tailored pore size are designed through a de novo approach.•Ultrathin and crystalline COF membranes are prepared.•The transport mechanism through COF membrane is studied systematically. Three crystalline truxene-based β-ketoenamine COF membranes (TFP-HETTA, TFP-HBTTA and TFP-HHTT...
