Luminescent covalent organic frameworks (LCOFs) have emerged as indispensable candidates in various applications due to their greater tunable emitting properties and structural robustness compared to small molecule emitters. An unsolved issue in this area is developing highly luminescent LCOFs of which the nonradiative quenching pathways were suppressed as much as possible. Here, a robust aminal-linked COF (DD-COF) possessing perdeuterated light-emitting monomers was designed and synthesized. The solid-state photoluminescence quantum yield of the DD-COF reaches 81%, significantly outcompeting all state-of-the-art LCOFs reported so far. The exceptional luminescent efficiency is attributed to the inhibition of different pathways of nonradiative decay, especially from bond vibrations where only substitution by a heavier isotope with a lower zero-point vibration frequency works. Furthermore, the prepared deuterated COF not only boosts higher photostability under UV irradiation but also enables superior fluorescence sensing performance for iodine detection compared to nondeuterated COF.
