Topologically Tunable Conjugated Metal–Organic Frameworks for Modulating Conductivity and Chemiresistive Properties for NH3 Sensing

Electrically conductive metal-organic frameworks (cMOFs) have garnered significant attention in materials science due to their potential applications in modern electrical devices. However, achieving effective modulation of their conductivity has proven to be a major challenge. In this study, we have successfully prepared cMOFs with high conductivity by incorporating electron-donating fused thiophen rings in the frameworks and extending their π-conjugated systems through ring-closing reactions. The conductivity of cMOFs can be precisely modulated ranging from 10
