Abstract

Well conducted: A two-dimensional porphyrin covalent organic framework is described. Owing to the eclipsed stacking alignment, the framework is conductive and allows high-rate carrier transport through the porphyrin columns (see picture). The central metal in the porphyrin rings changes the conducting nature of the material from hole to electron, and to ambipolar conduction. It also drives the high on-off ratio photoconductivity of the framework.
