Imine Covalent Organic Frameworks (Imine COFs) are a kind of porous organic crystal materials formed by the condensation of aromatic amines and aromatic aldehydes according to the Schiff-base reaction principle. Imine COFs have become the most widely studied COFs materials in recent years due to their advantages of large specific surface area, high porosity, easy functionalization and strong designability. The latest research progress of Imine COFs materials in recent years is reviewed from the aspects of design, synthesis methods and applications. Based on the current status of this field, the existing difficulties in the progress of novel COFs material construction and industrial applications are outlined, and future research trends are proposed, including optimizing the synthesis methods, exploring the conditions for industrial applications, developing multifunctional composite nano-Imine-COFs, and emphasizing the fundamentals of the materials' physicochemical properties, in order to provide ideas for the in-depth research and practical application of Imine COFs materials.
