Abstract

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and coordination polymers composed of thiolates as coordinating functional groups are interesting materials with unique optical and electronical properties. Herein, we report the preparation of KGF-4 and KGF-10, two Sn-MOF crystal structures with bonds between Sn and thiolate. KGF-10 was isolated as a pure phase and found to exhibit redox properties and a semiconducting band structure, as confirmed by first-principles (density functional theory) calculations.
