TL;DR: This Review discusses the efforts undertaken so far to achieve efficient charge transport in MOFs and focuses on four common strategies that have been harnessed toward high conductivities.

TL;DR: The amalgamation of different disciplines is at the heart of reticular chemistry and has broadened the boundaries of chemistry by opening up an infinite space of chemical composition, structure, and material properties.

TL;DR: Lanthanide-based MOFs have shown high out-of-plane conductivities originating instead from the π-stacking of organic ligands, demonstrating that high conductivity in layered MOFs does not necessarily require a metal–ligand bond with highly covalent character, and that interactions between organic ligand alone can produce efficient charge transport pathways.

TL;DR: Single crystal studies of two 2D MOFs hold promise as molecularly tunable platforms for fundamental science and applications where porosity and conductivity are critical, and reveal that these MOFs are not isostructural as previously reported.

TL;DR: In this article, a ligand core rebalances the in-plane and out-of-plane interactions that define anisotropic crystal growth, and a family of 2D π-conjugated metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is derived from large single crystals of sizes up to 200 µm.
