Solvents play a crucial role in the nucleation and growth of covalent organic frameworks, as revealed by in-situ optical microscopy observations of the liquid-liquid phase separation and structured solvent formation during the synthesis process.

The operando imaging of the early formation stages of covalent organic frameworks with the optical technique interferometric scattering microscopy leads to mechanistic insights, enabling the rational development of a synthesis protocol at room temperature instead of elevated temperatures.
