In 2017 Kimizuka reported a phthalocyanine based conductive MOF Cu-CuPc with an intrinsic conductivity in the range of 10 S cm. For the solvothermal synthesis of MOF, the organic linker Cu-octahydroxy phthalocyanine (CuPc) and metal ion is dissolved in a DMF/HO mixture at heated at 130 °C for 48 hours. Afterwards, Mirica and co-workers were able to enhance the conductivity to a range of 10 S cm by synthesizing a bimetallic phthalocyanine based MOF NiPc-Cu.
