Examples include a series of isoretical catecholate-based MOFs employing hexahudroxytriphenylene (HHTP) as thee organic linker and Ni/Cu/Co as metal nodes. For the hydrothermal synthesis of these MOFs, both organic linker (hexahydroxytriphenylene) and metal ion is dissolved in HO, aqueous ammonia is added and mixture is heated. Cu(HHTP) also known as (Cu-CAT-1) showed a conductivity up to 2.1 × 10−1 S cm. Another MOF based on hexaaminotriphenylene (HATP) organic linker and Ni metal ion showed an electronic conductivity of 40 S cm when measured by using Van der Pauw method .
