“…The stochastic nature of the gelling process generates open voids of random shape and size with distribution modes usually located in the mesopore range (2–50 nm). Larger pores facilitate migration and diffusion of chemical species and allow even the passage of macromolecules . The augmentation of MOF channel sizes to the mesoporous range still poses a great challenge.…”
Metal‐organic gels (MOGs) appear as a blooming alternative to well‐known metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs). Porosity of MOGs has a microstructural origin and not strictly crystalline like in MOFs; therefore, gelation may provide porosity to any metal‐organic system, including those with interesting properties but without a porous crystalline structure. The easy and straightforward shaping of MOGs contrasts with the need of binders for MOFs. In this contribution, a series of MOGs based on the assembly of 1D‐coordination polymer nanofibers of formula [M(DTA)]n (MII: Ni, Cu, Pd; DTA: dithiooxamidato) are reported, in which properties such as porosity, chemical inertness, mechanical robustness, and stimuli‐responsive electrical conductivity are brought together. The strength of the MS bond confers an unusual chemical resistance, withstanding exposure to acids, alkalis, and mild oxidizing/reducing chemicals. Supercritical drying of MOGs provides ultralight metal‐organic aerogels (MOAs) with densities as low as 0.03 g cm−3 and plastic/brittle behavior depending on the nanofiber aspect ratio. Conductivity measurements reveal a semiconducting behavior (10−12 to 10−7 S cm−1 at 298 K) that can be improved by doping (10−5 S cm−1). Moreover, it must be stressed that conductivity of MOAs reversibly increases (up to 10−5 S cm−1) under the presence of acetic acid.
