Redox Chemistry Mediated Control of Morphology and Properties in Electrically Conductive Coordination Polymers: Opportunities and Challenges

Journal Article · · Chemistry of Materials
Coordination polymers (CPs) and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted significant research interest in the past several decades due to their reticular structures and modularity. However, realizing electrically conductive CPs or MOFs with comparable properties to classic conducting organic polymers has only been a recent development. This emerging class of materials has found wide appli-cation in many fields due to combined features of structural rigidity, chemical tunability, porosity, and charge transport. Alongside many studies revealing myriad design approaches to access these materials, the role that redox chemistry plays in both material synthesis and modulation of electronic properties has been an emerging theme. This perspective provides a brief overview of select examples where redox chemistry medi-ates control of morphology and properties in electrically conductive CPs/MOFs. Here, the challenges and limitations in this area are also discussed. Particular challenges include the characterization of redox states in these materials and measuring and understanding highly correlated elec-tronic properties and other unusual physical phenomena which may be important for potential applications.
