Is the chemistry checked?
Every structure is checked with RDKit and every curly arrow passes MolDraw’s electron-flow audit. Report anything that looks wrong from the Feedback button in the app.
How are the COFs drawn?
As a 2 × 2 patch of the framework built from the real linkers, showing the boronate ester or boroxine linkages and the pore shape.
