Post-Synthetic Modification Of A Highly Flexible 3d Soft Porous Metal-Organic Framework By Incorporating Conducting Polypyrrole: Enhanced Mof Stability And Capacitance As An Electrode Material

Post-synthetic modification of a dynamic carborane-based soft porous crystal (1 superset of DMF) by in situ polymerization of pyrrole to polypyrrole (PPy) provided a permanently porous MOF/polypyrrole hybrid composite material that did not show the dynamic behavior of the mother MOF. Apart from stability, the introduction of conductive PPy in the composite material brings new properties to the otherwise non-conductive MOF.
