Abstract
A composition including a porous metal organic framework (MOF) including an open metal site and a guest species capable of charge transfer that can coordinate with the open metal site, wherein the composition is electrically conductive. A method including infiltrating a porous metal organic framework (MOF) including an open metal site with a guest species that is capable of charge transfer; and coordinating the guest species to the open metal site to form a composition including an electrical conductivity greater than an electrical conductivity of the MOF.
Claims10
A method comprising:
- infiltrating a porous metal organic framework (MOF) comprising an open metal site, wherein the MOF comprises a plurality of metal ions or metal clusters and a plurality of organic ligands, with a guest species that is capable of charge transfer, wherein the guest species is located within a pore of the MOF;
- and
- coordinating the guest species to the open metal site to form a composition comprising an electrical conductivity greater than an electrical conductivity of the MOF.
