Summary: | In recent years, functional electronic nanomaterials have made significant strides from advancements in the interplay of physics, chemistry, materials science, and computational research. However, synthetically tunable electronic materials are a long-standing, but elusive, technological goal. More recently, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), a class of nanoporous, hybrid inorganic–organic crystalline solids, have garnered attention as a novel class of electronic nanomaterials. The aim of this perspective is to (i) highlight the charge transport behavior of recently discovered (2017–2019) electronic MOFs and (ii) recommend future directions for improvement of intrinsically and extrinsically conductive MOFs for MOF-based electronics.
