Abstract

For the past 20 years, metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have been extensively studied for their various applications in many fields. Among them, electronic and ionic conductive MOFs are steadily investigated for multiple applications such as energy storage, electrocatalysis, sensors, due to their tunable proprieties (pores size and shape, structures, metals and ligands used). Individually, these materials show promising proprieties in conductivity domain and some of them are already used in applications such as superconductors. The aim of this project is to attempt to synthesize a MOF based on a 2D redox active ligand called hexasulfonamidetryphenylene (HSATP), potentially hexanionic ligand which when assembled in MOF, should give an ionic structure (due to presence of positive ions for charge compensations) and electronic conductive proprieties (due to redox active ligand).These combined proprieties were most of the time seen incompatible in the past well-ordered solid-state materials. Thus, the advances of this project will mainly focus on the synthesis and characterization of the materials and their conductivity proprieties.
