“…[130][131][132][133] Alternative possibility of achiving spin selectivity in MOFs is the use of magnetic molecular building blocks, following ideas from molecular electronics. [134] Despite many examples of exciting research work, we think that significant efforts in the design, characterization, and understanding of functional MOFs and SURMOFs are still needed to establish and commercialize them as building blocks of real-world electronic devices. Hopefully, this review will motivate the MOF community to further efforts and systematic studies of the charge transport phenomena in diverse MOF systems, both in the context of fundamental science and applications.…”

Metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) are a specific class of hybrid, crystalline, nano‐porous materials made of metal‐ion‐based ‘nodes’ and organic linkers. Most of the studies on MOFs largely focused on porosity, chemical and structural diversity, gas sorption, sensing, drug delivery, catalysis, and separation applications. In contrast, much less reports paid attention to understanding and tuning the electrical properties of MOFs. Poor electrical conductivity of MOFs (~10‐7 – 10‐10 Scm‐1), reported in earlier studies, impeded their applications in electronics, optoelectronics, and renewable energy storage. To overcome this drawback, the MOF community has adopted several intriguing strategies for electronic applications. The present review focuses on creatively designed bulk MOFs and surface‐anchored MOFs (SURMOFs) with different metal nodes (from transition metals to lanthanides), ligand functionalities, and doping entities, allowing tuning and enhancement of electrical conductivity. Diverse platforms for MOFs‐based electronic device fabrications, conductivity measurements, and underlying charge transport mechanisms are also addressed. Overall, the review highlights the pros and cons of MOFs‐based electronics (MOFtronics), followed by an analysis of the future directions of research, including optimization of the MOF compositions, heterostructures, electrical contacts, device stacking, and further relevant options which can be of interest for MOF researchers and result in improved devices performance.
