A coronene-based semiconducting two-dimensional metal-organic framework with ferromagnetic behavior

Abstract

Endowing metal–organic frameworks with both high electrical conductivity and magnetic ordering could make such materials useful for spintronics. Here the authors design a layer-stacking coronene-based 2D MOF that exhibits a semiconducting feature with an electrical conductivity of ~10 S cm−1 at 300 K, as well as ferromagnetism below ~20 K.
