Enhanced Conductivity

The poor electrical conductivity of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been a stumbling block for its applications in many important fields. Therefore, exploring a simple and effective strategy to regulate the conductivity of MOFs is highly desired. Herein, anionic guest molecules are incorporated inside the pores of a cationic MOF (PFC-8), which increases its conductivity by five orders of magnitude while maintaining the original porosity. In contrast, the same operation in an isoreticular neutral framework (PFC-9) does not bring such a significant change. Theoretical studies reveal that the guest molecules, stabilized inside pores through electrostatic interaction, play the role of electron donors as do in semiconductors, bringing in an analogous n-type semiconductor mechanism for electron conduction. Therefore, we demonstrate that harnessing electrostatic interaction provides a new way to regulate the conductivity of MOFs without necessarily altering the original porous structure. This strategy would greatly broaden MOFs’ application potential in electronic and optoelectronic technologies.

Unsaturated Metal Sites

<p>Metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) with coordinatively unsaturated metal sites are appealing as adsorbent materials due to their tunable functionality and ability to selectively bind small molecules. Through the use of computational screening methods based on periodic density functional theory, we investigate O<sub>2</sub> and N<sub>2</sub> adsorption at the coordinatively unsaturated metal sites of several MOF families. A variety of design handles are identified that can be used to modify the redox activity of the metal centers, including changing the functionalization of the linkers (replacing oxido donors with sulfido donors), anion exchange of bridging ligands (considering μ-Br<sup>-</sup>, μ-Cl<sup>-</sup>, μ-F<sup>-</sup>, μ-SH<sup>-</sup>, or μ-OH<sup>-</sup> groups), and altering the formal oxidation state of the metal. As a result, we show that it is possible to tune the O<sub>2</sub> affinity at the open metal sites of MOFs for applications involving the strong and/or selective binding of O<sub>2</sub>. In contrast with O<sub>2</sub> adsorption, N<sub>2</sub> adsorption at open metal sites is predicted to be relatively weak across the MOF dataset, with the exception of MOFs containing synthetically elusive V<sup>2+</sup> open metal sites. As one example from the screening study, we predict that exchanging the μ-Cl<sup>-</sup> ligands of M<sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>2</sub>(BBTA) (H<sub>2</sub>BBTA = 1<i>H</i>,5<i>H</i>-benzo(1,2-d:4,5-d′)bistriazole) with μ-OH<sup>-</sup> groups would significantly enhance the strength of O<sub>2</sub> adsorption at the open metal sites without a corresponding increase in the N<sub>2</sub> affinity. Experimental investigation of Co<sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>2</sub>(BBTA) and Co<sub>2</sub>(OH)<sub>2</sub>(BBTA) confirms that the former exhibits only weak physisorption, whereas the latter is capable of chemisorbing O<sub>2</sub> at room temperature. The chemisorption behavior is attributed to the greater electron-donating character of the μ-OH<sup>-</sup><sub> </sub>ligands and the presence of H-bonding interactions between the μ-OH<sup>-</sup> bridging ligands and the O<sub>2</sub> adsorbate.</p>
