Developing effective photosensitizers to initiate the generation of singlet oxygen (1O2) is of great significance in both chemistry and physiology. Herein, linking the photoactive porphyrin moieties by in situ-formed robust imidazole groups, a covalent organic framework (COF), PyPor-COF, was success...
