Title: Million-Fold Electrical Conductivity Enhancement in Fe 2 (DEBDC) versus Mn 2 (DEBDC) (E = S, O)

Abstract

Reaction of FeCl2 and H4DSBDC (2,5-disulfhydrylbenzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid) leads to the formation of Fe2(DSBDC), an analogue of M2(DOBDC) (MOF-74, DOBDC4– = 2,5-dihydroxybenzene-1,4-dicarboxylate). The bulk electrical conductivity values of both Fe2(DSBDC) and Fe2(DOBDC) are ~6 orders of magnitude higher than those of the Mn2+ analogues, Mn2(DEBDC) (E = O, S). Because the metals are of the same formal oxidation state, the increase in conductivity is attributed to the loosely bound Fe2+ β-spin electron. These results provide important insight for the rational design of conductive metal–organic frameworks, highlighting in particular the advantages of iron for synthesizing such materials.
