Mn<sub>2</sub>(2,5-disulfhydrylbenzene-1,4-dicarboxylate): A Microporous Metal–Organic Framework with Infinite (−Mn–S−)<sub>∞</sub> Chains and High Intrinsic Charge Mobility
The reaction of MnCl<sub>2</sub> with
2,5-disulfhydrylbenzene-1,4-dicarboxylic
acid (H<sub>4</sub>DSBDC), in which the phenol groups in 2,5-dihydroxybenzene-1,4-dicarboxylic
acid (H<sub>4</sub>DOBDC) have been replaced by thiophenol units,
led to the isolation of Mn<sub>2</sub>(DSBDC), a thiolated analogue
of the M<sub>2</sub>(DOBDC) series of metal–organic frameworks
(MOFs). The sulfur atoms participate in infinite one-dimensional Mn–S
chains, and Mn<sub>2</sub>(DSBDC) shows a high surface area and high
charge mobility similar to that found in some of the most common organic
semiconductors. The synthetic approach to Mn<sub>2</sub>(DSBDC) and
its excellent electronic properties provide a blueprint for a potentially
rich area of exploration in microporous conductive MOFs with low-dimensional
charge transport pathways

High Charge Mobility in a Tetrathiafulvalene-Based Microporous Metal–Organic Framework
The tetratopic ligand tetrathiafulvalene-tetrabenzoate
(H<sub>4</sub>TTFTB) is used to synthesize Zn<sub>2</sub>(TTFTB),
a new metal–organic
framework that contains columnar stacks of tetrathiafulvalene and
benzoate-lined infinite one-dimensional channels. The new MOF remains
porous upon desolvation
and exhibits charge mobility commensurate with some of the best organic
semiconductors, confirmed by flash-photolysis-time-resolved microwave
conductivity measurements. Zn<sub>2</sub>(TTFTB) represents the first
example of a permanently porous MOF with high charge mobility and
may inspire further exploration of the electronic properties of these
materials
