MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511114631 A) filed by Indian Institute Of Technology, Roorkee, Uttarakhand, on Nov. 20, 2025, for 'porphyrin-based covalent organic frameworks and synthesis method thereof.'

Inventor(s) include Sankar, Muniappan; Deval, Ankit Kumar; and Ahmad, Ikrar.

The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a covalent organic framework (COFs) compound having conjugated structure of formula I. More particularly, the COFs of formula I is a nitrogen-rich porphyrin-based covalent organic frameworks synthesized using Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling. The robust carbon-carbon linked frameworks are formed from a borylated porphyrin core and nitrogen-containing aromatic linkers including benzene, bipyridine, phenanthroline. The COFs exhibit high crystallinity, tunable meso-porosity and enhanced nitrogen content, leading to superior electrochemical properties as supercapacitor electrodes, including high specific capacitance, cycling stability without reliance on a specific electrolyte having potential application in energy storage materials."
