“…[21] Thei mpregnation and oxidative polymerization of pyrrole or thiophene is an effective strategy to endow insulating MOFs with extrinsic electrical conductivity,s imply by backfilling the pores with the conducting polymers generated in situ. [11,12,19,20,22] Oxidation generally leads to morphological damage that results in polycrystalline samples that are often amorphous.A saresult, previous works on extrinsically conductive MOFs make use of pressed pellets to collect electrical measurements.However,Rb-CD-MOF crystals are hundreds of micrometers wide and robust enough to withstand SCSC transformation and can be directly contacted to minimize the influence of grain boundaries in the conductivity measurements.T oi nvestigate the effect of short-range polymerization over the conductivity of the inclusion compound, we measured the electrical conductivity of Rb-CD-MOF, &Py,a nd &TPy single crystals by using at wo-probe contacts method (Figure 5a).…”
