Herein, we report on the synthesis and electronic properties of the phosphonate metal-organic framework (MOF) Cu<sub>3</sub>(H<sub>5</sub>-MTPPA)<sub>2</sub> (H<sub>8</sub>-MTPPA = methane tetra-<i>p</i>-phenylphosphonic acid). This MOF, termed TUB1, has a unique one-dimensional inorganic building unit composed of square planar and distorted trigonal bipyramidal copper atoms, and a calculated BET surface area of 766.2 m<sup>2</sup>/g. The formation of TUB1 reduces the band gap of the linker from 4.2 eV to 2.4 eV. DFT calculations reveal two spin-dependent gaps of 2.60 eV and 0.48 eV for the alpha and beta spins, respectively, and that the lowest unoccupied crystal orbital<b> </b>for both gaps predominantly resides on the square planar copper atoms. Single-crystal conductivity measurements on TUB1 crystals yield an average electrical conductance of 53.2 ± 29.5 S/m. Although the H<sub>8</sub>-MTPPA linker blocks the extended conjugation in TUB1, we show that the presence of the square planar copper atoms in the inorganic building unit promotes the electrical conductivity.

Herein, we report on the synthesis of a microporous, three-dimensional phosphonate metal-organic framework (MOF) of the composition Cu3(H5-MTPPA)2·2 NMP (H8-MTPPA = methane tetra-p-phenylphosphonic acid and NMP = N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone). This MOF, termed TUB1, has a unique one-dimensional inorganic building unit composed of square planar and distorted trigonal bipyramidal copper atoms. It possesses a (calculated) BET surface area of 766.2 m2/g after removal of the solvents from the voids. The Tauc plot for TUB1 yields indirect and direct band gaps of 2.4 eV and 2.7 eV, respectively. DFT calculations reveal the existence of two spin-dependent gaps of 2.60 eV and 0.48 eV for the alpha and beta spins, respectively, with the lowest unoccupied crystal orbital for both gaps predominantly residing on the square planar copper atoms. The projected density of states suggests that the presence of the square planar copper atoms reduces the overall band gap of TUB1, as the beta-gap for the trigonal bipyramidal copper atoms is 3.72 eV.

The compound [Cd(4,4'-bpy)2(H2O)2](ClO4)2·(L)2 was obtained by the reaction of Cd(ClO4)2, bis(1-pyrazinylethylidene)hydrazine (L) and 4,4'-bipyridine in aqueous MeOH. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction has revealed its two-dimensional metal-organic framework. The 2-D layers superpose on each other, giving a channel structure. The square planar grids consist of two pairs of shared edges with Cd(II) ion and a 4,4'-bipyridine molecule each vertex and side, respectively. The square cavity has a dimension of 11.817 × 11.781 Å. Two guest molecules of bis(1-pyrazinylethylidene)hydrazine are clathrated in every hydrophobic host cavity, being further stabilized by π-π stacking and hydrogen bonding. The results suggest that the hydrazine molecules present in the network serve as structure-directing templates in the formation of crystal structures.
