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

A stable two-dimensional radical hydrogen-bonded metal-organic framework, constructed using a modified tetrathiafulvalene-tetrabenzoate ((2-Me)-H 4 TTFTB) linker and Cd 2+ 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.
