I. General information
All reagents and solvents were purchased from commercial sources and used as
received without further purification unless otherwise indicated. 1H NMR spectra were
recorded on a Bruker 400 or 500 MHz spectrometer with CDCl3 or DMSO-d6 as the
solvent; 13C NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker 101 or 126 MHz spectrometer
with CDCl3 or DMSO-d6 as the solvent; 19F NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker
376 MHz spectrometer with CDCl3 as the solvent. Chemical shifts were reported in
parts per million (δ) with TMS (0 ppm) as the internal standard. The peak patterns are
indicated as follows: s (singlet), d (doublet), dd (doublet of doublets), t (triplet), q
(quartet), and m (multiplet). The coupling constants (J) are reported in Hertz (Hz). The
unknown products were additionally characterized by high-resolution mass
spectrometry (HR-MS). HR-MS was performed in Thermo LCQ Deca XP Max mass
spectrometer.
Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) patterns of the as-prepared samples were obtained
on a powder X-ray diffractometer (Cu Kα radiation source, Ultima IV, Rigaku). The
solid 13C NMR spectra were obtained on a Bruker Avance Neo 400 MHz WB solid-
state NMR spectrometer. FT-IR spectra were collected in the 400-4000 cm-1 range on a
Bruker IFS 66 v/s Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. The nitrogen adsorption and
desorption isotherms were collected at 77 K using the micromeritics ASAP 2020 HD88
or Micromeritics ASAP 2460. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was performed
on a Rigaku TG/DTA8122 thermogravimeter by measuring the weight loss while
heating at 10 °C min−1 from room temperature to 800 °C under nitrogen. Scanning
electron microscopy (SEM) images were captured on a Hitachi Regulus 8100,
microscope operated at an accelerating voltage of 0.02-30 kV. Transmission electron
microscopy (TEM) images were captured on a JEOL JEM-F200 microscope at an
accelerating voltage of 200 kV. UV/Vis diffuse reflectance spectra were performed
using a Hitachi UH4150 spectrophotometer in the wavelength range of 200‐800 nm, v
= 200 nm/min, and BaSO4 was used as a reference.
All visible-light-driven reactions were carried out in a 10 mL borosilicate glass tube.
Two Blue LEDs (40 W, the wavelength of peak intensity is at 456 nm, Kessil PR160)
were used as the light source. The distance from the Blue LED to the irradiation vessel
is approximately 5 cm. No filter was used.

(b) Radical clock experiment
A 10 mL glass tube was charged with glycine derivatives 1d (0.1 mmol, 1.0 equiv.),
1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl hept-6-enoate 2k (1.2 mmol, 2 equiv.), and 2D‐COF‐4 (4 mg).
The tube was evacuated and filled with argon for three cycles. Then, DMSO (2 mL)
was added via a gastight syringe under an argon atmosphere. The reaction mixture was
stirred (1000 rpm) with the irradiation of two 40 W blue LEDs (456 nm, the power
the reactor and lamp is approximately 5 cm.) at room temperature for 24 h. Upon
completion, the photocatalyst 2D‐COF‐4 was removed by centrifugation and filtration,
10 mL deionized water was added into the filtrate, and the resulting mixture was
extracted with ethyl acetate (5 mL × 3). The organic layers were washed with saturated
brine, dried over MgSO4, and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced
pressure. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel
(petroleum ether and ethyl acetate) to afford the compound 3dk.

(c) The UV/Vis spectroscopic measurements of reaction mixtures in DMSO or
EtOH
A 10 mL glass tube was charged with glycine derivatives 1d (0.1 mmol, 0.05 mol/L,
1.0 equiv.), 1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl cyclohexanecarboxylate 2a (1.2 mmol, 0.06 mol/L,
2 equiv.), and 2D-COFs (4 mg). The tube was evacuated and filled with argon for three
cycles. Then, EtOH (2 mL) or DMSO (2 mL) was added via a gastight syringe under
an argon atmosphere. After 8 hours of blue light irradiation, the reaction mixture was
diluted with the same concentration (5 x 10-3 mol/L) using EtOH or DMSO as a solvent
for the UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy (1 cm path quartz cuvettes, Hitachi UH5300
spectrophotometer). The UV/Vis absorption spectra are as follows.

XI. Calculation of Apparent Quantum Efficiency (A.Q.E.)
In principle, it takes one photon to generate one radical to form one target product. The
energy of one photon (Ephoton) with a wavelength of λinc (nm) is calculated using eq.1.
hc 6.6310-34 Js3108 ms-1
Ephoton = = = 4.3610-19 J (eq.1)
λinc 45610-9 m
Where h (Js) is Planck’s constant, c (ms-1) is the speed of light and inc (m) is the
wavelength of the incident light, 456 nm. The total energy of the incident
monochromatic light (Etotal) is calculated using eq.2.
Etotal = PSt (eq.2)
Where P (Wcm-2) is the power density of the incident light (P = 0.003 W/cm2)8, S (cm2)
is the irradiation area, and t (s) is the photoreaction time. The total number of incident
photons can be obtained through eq.3.

The apparent quantum efficiency (A.Q.E.) is defined as eq.4.

XII. Hot filtration test
A hot filtration test was performed to ensure the photo activity originates from the
undamaged 2D-COF-4. A 10 mL glass tube was charged with glycine derivatives 1d
(0.1 mmol, 1.0 equiv.), alkyl NHPI ester 2a (0.12 mmol, 1.2 equiv.), and 2D‐COF‐4 (4
mg). The tube was evacuated and filled with argon for three cycles. Then, DMSO (2
was stirred (1000 rpm) with the irradiation of two 40 W blue LEDs (456 nm, the power
the reactor and lamp is approximately 5 cm.) at room temperature for 8 h (labeled as
A). After the isolation, the typical reaction yield was calculated to be 34%.
Then, a parallel reaction was conducted. A 10 mL glass tube was charged with glycine
derivatives 1d (0.1 mmol, 1.0 equiv.), alkyl NHPI ester 2a (0.12 mmol, 1.2 equiv.), and
2D‐COF‐4 (4 mg). The tube was evacuated and filled with argon for three cycles. Then,
DMSO (2 mL) was added via a gastight syringe under an argon atmosphere. The
reaction mixture was stirred (1000 rpm) with the irradiation of two 40 W blue LEDs
(456 nm, the power density of the incident light near the reactor is 0.003 W/cm2, and
the distance between the reactor and lamp is approximately 5 cm.) at room temperature
(labeled as B). The reaction was interrupted after 8 hours. And the catalyst 2D-COF-4
was then removed immediately by hot filtration. The filtrate was then irradiated for
another 8 hours. Upon isolation, no increase in product yield was observed after another
8 hours. The outcome for B was still 34%.
