One of the most common strategies for the design of conductive MOFs is based on the use of electroactive organic ligands and their partial oxidation/reduction to increase the number of charge carriers. Although perylene salts were reported as the first molecular conductors, they have been scarcely explored as building blocks for the construction of conductive MOFs. Herein we report the electrical conductivity enhancement of a microporous perylene-based MOF upon partial ligand oxidation by using two-probe single-crystal devices. The origin of the conductivity enhancement is rationalised by means of spectroscopic studies and quantumchemical calculations, supporting a through-space hopping transport along the herringbone perylene packing. This study opens the way for the design of conductive MOFs based on perylene building blocks.}, organization = {Project CICECO-Aveiro Institute of Materials, Grants UIDB/50011/ 2020 and UIDP/50011/2020, financed by national funds through the FCT/MEC and when appropriate co-financed by FEDER under the PT2020 Partnership Agreement}, organization = {FCT for funding the project PTDC/QUI-ELT/2593/2021}, organization = {Spanish government (PID2020-119748GA-I00, funded by MICIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033, and the Maria de Maeztu CEX2019-000919-M grant)}, organization = {Generalitat Valenciana (GV/2021/027, GVPROMETEO2020-077)}, organization = {PhD grant (2020.08520.BD)}, organization = {PhD grant (2020.06159.BD)}, organization = {Junior Researcher Position (CEECIND/00546/2018)}, publisher = {Royal Society of Chemistry}, title = {Through-space hopping transport in an iodinedoped perylene-based metal–organic framework}, doi = {10.1039/D2ME00108J}, author = {Valente, Gonçalo and Rochina, María Esteve and Paracana, Ana and Rodríguez Diéguez, Antonio and Choquesillo Lazarte, Duane and Ortí, Enrique and Calbo, Joaquín and Ilkaeva, Marina and Mafra, Luís and Hernández-Rodríguez, Miguel A. and Rocha, João and Alves, Helena and Souto, Manuel}, }
