2D urea and thiourea containing COFs were synthesized at ambient conditions in large scale within one hour in the ab-sence of acid catalyst. The site isolated urea and thiourea in the COF showed enhanced catalytic efficiency as a hydrogen-bond-donating (HBD) organocatalyst compared to the molec-ular counterparts in epoxide ring opening reaction, aldehyde acetalization and Friedel-Crafts reaction. The COF catalysts also had excellent recyclability.
