Electrical conductivity and magnetic bistability in metal–organic frameworks and coordination polymers: charge transport and spin crossover at the nanoscale

Abstract

<p>This review aims to reassess the progress, issues and opportunities in the path towards integrating conductive and magnetically bistable coordination polymers and metal–organic frameworks as active components in electronic devices.</p>

Face‐to‐Face Growth of Wafer‐Scale 2D Semiconducting MOF Films on Dielectric Substrates

“…[12,13] To the best of our knowledge, the most established 2D conductive MOFs are constructed by using coordination of transition metal ions and planar conjugated aromatic ligands containing functional groups such as OH, NH 2 , and SH in a square planar geometry. [14][15][16][17] 2D conductive MOF films relatively new porous crystal materials and appear promising as candidates for application in a variety of electronic devices.…”

Two-dimensional conjugated metal–organic frameworks (2D c-MOFs): chemistry and function for MOFtronics

“…Due to the presence of both neutral and charged MO 4 -linked networks, the term of dioxolene instead of the normally applied semiquinoid is likely more reasonable. 25,60 In addition, metal-diimine-dithiolene (MN 2 S 2 ) mixed linkage and metal-bis(diselenolene) (MSe 4 )…”

“…Many inspiring review articles have provided in-depth understanding on the above transport mechanism as well as the description of current characterization methods toward conductivity measurement, such as twoprobe and four-probe (linear four-probe or van der Pauw) configurations. 17,20,[22][23][24][25]60,76 Table 1 lists the currently reported 2D c-MOFs and the related studies on charge transport, including the sample form, characterization method, conductivity and mobility. Hereby, we would like to discuss the influence of molecular design (type and geometry of ligand, metal) and material structure (redox-activity in linkage, layer stacking and arrangement) as well as crystallinity on the charge transport properties for thus-far reported materials.…”

Strategies for Fabricating High‐Performance Electrochemical Energy‐Storage Devices by MXenes

“…Since the electrical conductivity of MXenes plays a significant role in the electrochemical performance of the energy storage devices when they are applied as the active material in the electrode, extensive studies have been performed to understand the factors that can affect the charge transport behaviour in the 2D materials. Electrical conductivity (σ), in general, can be estimated by equation ( 5): [92] s…”
