Due to their variety of structures and functions, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have garnered much recent interest. Much of the literature concerning MOFs has utilized the high porosity of these materials for applications involving gas adsorption. However, their periodic structures also make them intriguing candidates as potential conductors. Recent studies have demonstrated the conductive capabilities of MOFs that feature redox-active ligands. In order to understand how these materials are capable of a high charge mobility, and therefore conductive, we investigated the synthetic and electronic traits of a fully conjugated, one-dimensional coordination polymer. The redox-active organic ligand has been synthesized (2,3,6,7-tetraaminophenazine) and coordinated to a variety of metal centers, creating, in the case of nickel, one-dimensional coordination polymers. We aim to measure the conductivity and band gaps of this material via the two-probe method.
