Although macroscopically-sized MOF crystals have proven of interest for efficient chromatographic separations, information processing, or optoelectronic devices, growing really large crystals has proven problematic. A growth-and-reseeding method can now produce MOF monocrystals ca. 1 cm3 in volume vs. at most ca. 0.025 cm3 by prior methods.

Crystalline, electrically conductive, and intrinsically porous materials are rare. Layered 2D metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) break this trend. They are porous crystals that exhibit high electrical conductivity and are novel platforms for studying fundamentals of electricity and magnetism in two dimensions.1-8 Despite demonstrated applications,9-13 electrical transport in these remains poorly understood because of a lack of single crystal studies. Here, studies of single crystals of two 2D MOFs, Ni3(HITP)2 and Cu3(HHTP)2, uncover critical insights into their structure and transport. Conductivity measurements down to 0.3 K suggest metallicity for mesoscopic single crystals of Ni3(HITP)2, which contrasts with apparent activated conductivity for polycrystalline films. Microscopy studies further reveal that these MOFs are not isostructural as previously reported.14 Notably, single rods exhibit conductivities up to 150 S/cm, which persist even after prolonged exposure to the ambient. These single crystal studies confirm that 2D MOFs hold promise as molecularly tunable platforms for fundamental science and applications where porosity and conductivity are critical.<br>

<div><div><div><p>Metal-organic frameworks (MOF) have emerged as promising tailor-design materials for developing next-generation solid-state devices with applications in linear and non-linear coherent optics. However, the implementation of functional devices is challenged by the notoriously difficult process of growing large MOF single-crystals of high optical quality. By controlling the solvo-thermal synthesis conditions, we succeed in producing large individual single crystals of the non-centrosymmetric MOF Zn(3-ptz)2 (MIRO-101) with deformed octahedron habit, and unprecedented surface areas of up to 37 mm<sup>2</sup>. We measure the polarized UV-visible absorption spectrum of individual Zn(3- ptz)2 single crystals across different lateral incidence planes. Millimeter size single crystals have band gap <i>E</i><i>g</i> = 3.32 eV, and exhibit anisotropic absorption in the band edge region near 350 nm, whereas polycrystalline samples are fully transparent in the same frequency range. Using solid-state density functional theory (DFT), the observed size dependence of the optical anisotropy is correlated with the preferred orientation adopted by freely rotating pyridyl groups under conditions of slow crystal self-assembly. Our work thus paves the way for the development of optical polarization switches based on metal-organic frameworks.</p></div></div></div>

Current Database

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), which belong to a sub-class of coordination polymers, have been significantly studied in the fields of gas storage and separation over the last two decades. There are 80,000 synthetically known MOFs in the current database with known crystal structures and some physical properties. However, recently, numerous functional MOFs have been exploited to use in the optoelectronic field owing to some unique properties of MOFs with enhanced luminescence, electrical, and chemical stability. This book chapter provides a comprehensive summary of MOFs chemistry, isoreticular synthesis, and properties of isoreticular MOFs, synthesis advancements to tailor optical and electrical properties. The chapter mainly discusses the research advancement made towards investigating optoelectronic properties of IRMOFs. We also discuss the future prospective of MOFs for electronic devices with a proposed roadmap suggested by us. We believe that the MOFs-device roadmap should be one meaningful way to reach MOFs milestones for optoelectronic devices, particularly providing the potential roadmap to MOF-based field-effect transistors, photovoltaics, thermoelectric devices, and solid-state electrolytes and lithium ion battery components. It may enable MOFs to be performed in their best, as well as allowing the necessary integration with other materials to fabricate fully functional devices in the next few decades.
