Abstract
Despite most porous framework solids exhibiting insulating character, some are known to conduct electrical charge. The peak performing conductive metal–organic frameworks are composed of redox-active hexasubstituted triphenylene linkers, but the impact of redox activity on material conductivity remains enigmatic because of limited availability of direct structure–function relationships. Here, we report a hexagonal yttrium-based conductive porous scaffold, comprising hexahydroxytriphenylene connected by Y-chains (YHOTP). In comparison to its known porous cubic counterpart (Y6HOTP2), this material features a 1000-fold increase in peak conductivity in polycrystalline samples (∼10–1 S cm–1). Furthermore, through a comparison of their electronic structures, we rationalize the origin of this difference and highlight the role of charge carrier concentration in dictating bulk electrical conductivity. Together, this work provides a design principle for the development of next-generation conductive porous frameworks.
尽管大多数多孔框架固体具有绝缘特性,但已知其中一些可以传导电荷。性能最佳的导电金属有机框架由具有氧化还原活性的六取代三亚苯连接体组成,但由于直接的结构-功能关系有限,氧化还原活性对材料导电性的影响仍然是个谜。在此,我们报告了一种由 Y 链连接的六羟基三亚苯(YHOTP)组成的六方钇基导电多孔支架。与已知的多孔立方材料(Y6HOTP2)相比,这种材料在多晶样品中的峰值电导率提高了 1000 倍(∼10-1 S cm-1)。此外,通过比较它们的电子结构,我们合理地解释了这种差异的根源,并强调了电荷载流子浓度在决定体导电性方面的作用。总之,这项工作为开发新一代导电多孔框架提供了设计原则。
