Construction of a stable radical hydrogen-bonded metal–organic framework with functionalized tetrathiafulvalene linkers

Abstract

A stable two-dimensional radical hydrogen-bonded metal–organic framework, constructed using a modified tetrathiafulvalene-tetrabenzoate ((2-Me)-H₄TTFTB) linker and Cd²⁺ ions, exhibits a high electrical conductivity of 4.1 × 10⁻⁴ S m⁻¹ and excellent photothermal conversion with a temperature increase of 137 °C in 15 s under the irradiation of a 0.7 W cm⁻² 808 nm laser.
