Tunable mixed-valence doping toward record electrical conductivity in a three-dimensional metal-organic framework

Partial oxidation of an iron-tetrazolate metal-organic framework (MOF) upon exposure to ambient atmosphere yields a mixed-valence material with single-crystal conductivities tunable over 5 orders of magnitude and exceeding 1 S/cm, the highest for a three-dimensionally connected MOF. Variable-tempera...

description Partial oxidation of an iron-tetrazolate metal-organic framework (MOF) upon exposure to ambient atmosphere yields a mixed-valence material with single-crystal conductivities tunable over 5 orders of magnitude and exceeding 1 S/cm, the highest for a three-dimensionally connected MOF. Variable-temperature conductivity measurements reveal a small activation energy of 160 meV. Electronic spectroscopy indicates the population of midgap states upon air exposure and corroborates intervalence charge transfer between Fe[superscript 2+] and Fe[superscript 3+] centers. These findings are consistent with low-lying Fe[superscript 3+] defect states predicted by electronic band structure calculations and demonstrate that inducing metal-based mixed valency is a powerful strategy toward realizing high and systematically tunable electrical conductivity in MOFs.
