    Abstract

    Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have been used in cell imaging, but very rarely for imaging specific cell conditions. Herein, a β-ketoenamine-based fluorescent COF was post-synthetically modified to incorporate a hypoxia-targeting molecule. Fluorescence microscopy imaging shows that the material discriminates between HeLa cells grown under hypoxia and those cultured under normoxia.
