Soft porous crystal meets TCNQ: charge transfer-type porous coordination polymers

Abstract

The significant progress of porous coordination polymers (or metal–organic frameworks) has been attracting the attention of a lot of scientists in various disciplines and encouraging their entry into this field. The synergy of diverse scientific senses brings further spread of the chemistry of porous coordination polymers. In this review, we introduced the recent developments in PCPs resulting from the hybridization with TCNQ chemistry. Electronic and structural diversities of TCNQ provide novel and advanced porous properties, when it is hybridized with a flexible nature of porous coordination polymers.
