RESUMO
The development of conductive metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) presents a unique challenge in materials chemistry because it is unclear how to dope them. Here, we demonstrate that the inclusion of pendant amines on hexahydroxytriphenylene linkages results in two-dimensional (2D) polycrystalline frameworks Cu3(HHTATP)2, isostructural to its Cu3(HHTP)2 parent, and exhibits the highest electrical conductivity of 1.21 S/cm among 2D MOFs featuring CuO4 metal nodes. Moreover, the bulk material can be treated with acid, resulting in a protonation-dependent increase in the conductivity. By spin-coating the acidic solution, we fabricated large-area thin films and collectively demonstrated an intuitive route to solution-processable, dopable, conductive MOFs.
