Metal-organic frameworks, comprised of metal centers coordinated to organic linkers in one, two, or three dimensions to form extended crystalline networks, have been applied to many areas of chemistry. However, much information remains to be gleaned from electrochemical investigations of these materials. We will present synthetic methods towards two-dimensional MOFs, electrochemical behavior of these materials, and their utility in mediating electrochemical transformations of small molecules. Taking advantage of molecular control over the architecture, porosity, and electrical conductivity contributed by in-plane charge delocalization can aid in intelligent design of conductive and electrochemically active species tailored for specific electrocatalytic applications.<br/>
