Abstract

Reaction of FeCl₂ and H₄DSBDC (2,5-disulfhydrylbenzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid) leads to the formation of Fe₂(DSBDC), an analogue of M₂(DOBDC) (MOF-74, DOBDC^4- = 2,5-dihydroxybenzene-1,4-dicarboxylate). The bulk electrical conductivity values of both Fe₂(DSBDC) and Fe₂(DOBDC) are ~6 orders of magnitude higher than those of the Mn²⁺ analogues, Mn₂(DEBDC) (E = O, S). Because the metals are of the same formal oxidation state, the increase in conductivity is attributed to the loosely bound Fe²⁺ β-spin electron. These results provide important insight for the rational design of conductive metal-organic frameworks, highlighting in particular the advantages of iron for synthesizing such materials.
