DESCRIPTION:Traditional applications of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are
  focused on gas storage and separation\, which take advantage of the inher
 ent porosity and high surface area of these materials. The MOFs’ use in te
 chnologies that require charge transport have lagged behind\, however\, be
 cause MOFs are poor conductors of electricity. We show that design princip
 les honed from decades of previous research in molecular conductors can be
  employed to produce MOFs with remarkable charge mobility and conductivity
  values that rival or surpass those of common organic semiconductors and e
 ven graphite. We expect that such high surface area\, ordered\, and crysta
 lline conductors will be used for a variety of applications in thermoelect
 rics\, energy storage\, electrocatalysis\, electrochromics\, or new types 
 of photovoltaics. Another virtually untapped area of MOF chemistry is rela
 ted to their potential to mediate redox reactivity through their metal nod
 es. We show that MOFs can be thought of as unique macromolecular ligands t
 hat give rise to unusual molecular clusters where small molecules can reac
 t in a matrix-like environment\, akin to the metal binding pockets of meta
 lloproteins. By employing a mild\, highly modular synthetic method and a s
 uite of spectroscopic techniques\, we show that redox reactivity at MOF no
 des can lead to the isolation and characterization of highly unstable inte
 rmediates relevant to biological and industrial catalysis\, and to unusual
  reactivity patterns for small molecules.\n
