Developing conducting metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) provides an avenue for creating high surface area conductors with potential applications ranging from electrocatalysts and chemiresistive sensors to supercapacitors. Highly ordered and infinite charge transport pathways could be realized in conducting MOF platforms to yield high conductivity. However, it is challenging to engineer electrical conductivity in MOFs because these materials generally have flat bands determined by highly localized organic states and weak hybridization with the inorganic units. Based on using intermolecular π-stacking interactions as topology defining factors of MOFs, strategies for synthesizing and utilizing the conductive and microporous MOFs will be discussed. In addition, the synthesis of a conductive two-dimensional MOF thin film by single-step all-vapor-phase chemical vapor deposition will be presented.
