Abstract
COF with an unusual ABC stacking, leading to pearl string type pores instead of two distinct pore sizes. This COF system shows that steric interaction-driven design enhances control over COF structures, expanding the design toolbox, but also provides valuable insights into network formation and polymorphism.
