Em particular, as MOF bidimensionais têm despertado o interesse no desenvolvimento de uma nova geração de dispositivos ópticos e eletrônicos. A capacidade de formação de filmes finos de algumas dessas MOF as tornam materiais mais atraentes. A MOF bidimensional estudada neste trabalho foi a rede {[Zn(2,5-pdc)(H2O)2].H2O}n (2,5­-pdc = 2,5-piridinodicarboxilato), ZnPDC2D. A MOF 2D foi sintetizada e caracterizada por diferentes técnicas experimentais e também foi estudada por simulação computacional. O modelo do ZnPDC2D foi otimizado por dois métodos (PBE e PBE-­D2), os quais descreveram bem os parâmetros estruturais. A partir do modelo do ZnPDC2D, foi elaborada uma proposta para o processo de desidratação e assim, sugerindo a formação de três novas fases (d1-­ZnPDC2D, d2-­ZnPDC2D e d3-ZnPDC2D). A temperatura em que o ZnPDC2D sofre amorfização foi determinada através da medida de difração de raios X com aumento de temperatura in situ e pôde­se inferir que a fase amorfa sofre uma transformação reversível após ser exposta ao ambiente. A termodinâmica da primeira etapa da desidratação mostra que o funcional PBE é mais adequado para descrever a espontaneidade da reação. Espera­se obter as estruturas por meio de análises de difração de raios X por policritais e refinamento pelo método de Rietveld. O trabalho também reporta a simulação da energia de formação do monofilme pelos métodos PBE e PBE-D2. As análises de propriedades eletrônicas para todas as estruturas citadas foram executadas e discutidas conforme os processos e mudanças envolvidas. / Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) belong to the class of coordination polymers (CPs) and exhibit properties such as porosity and crystallinity. In particular, two­dimensional MOFs have attracted interest in the development of a new generation of optical and electronic devices. The possibility of thin film formation of some of these MOFs makes them more attractive materials. The two­dimensional MOF studied in this work was the network {[Zn(2,5-pdc)(H2O)2].H2O}n (2,5-pdc = 2,5-pyridinedicarboxylate), ZnPDC2D. The MOF 2D was synthesized and characterized by different experimental techniques and was also studied by computer simulation. Two optimized ZnPDC2D structures were obtained by distinct methods (PBE and PBE­-D2) with a good description of their parameters. The structure obtained from the simulation of the dehydration process suggest the formation of three new phases (d1-ZnPDC2D, d2-ZnPDC2D and d3-ZnPDC2D). The temperature at which ZnPDC2D undergoes amorphization was determined by X­ray podwer diffraction measurement with in situ temperature rise and it could be inferred that the amorphous phase undergoes a reversible transformation after being exposed to the environment. The thermodynamics of the first stage of dehydration shows that the PBE functional is adequate to describe the spontaneity of the reaction. The structures are expected to be obtained by X­ray podwer diffraction analysis and refinement by the Rietveld method. Thise work also reports the simulation of the monofilm by the PBE and PBE-D2 methods. The analyses of electronic properties for all th cited structures were performed and discussed according to the processes and changes involved.

Two-dimensional conjugated metal–organic frameworks (2D c-MOFs), possessing extended π–d conjugated planar structure, are emerging as a unique class of electronic materials due to their intrinsic electrical conductivities. Taking advantage of the large-area flat surface, 2D c-MOF thin films allow facile device integration with sufficient electrode contact, high device stability, and high charge transport, thereby emerging as appealing active layers for a broad range of electronic applications. Synthesis and device investigation of thin films are of great importance for their further development, which are systematically summarized in the current review. Here, the authors firstly introduce the molecular structures of representative 2D c-MOFs and present the fundamental understanding on structure–property relationships. After that, the state-of-art synthetic methodologies toward high-quality 2D c-MOF thin films are summarized, including exfoliation and reassembly (ERA), liquid-interface-assisted synthesis (LIAS), and chemical vapor deposition (CVD). By considering the advantages of 2D c-MOF films in device integration, remarkable progress in (opto-)electronic device applications are discussed, such as field-effect transistors (FETs), chemiresistive sensors, photodetectors, superconductors, and thermoelectrics. In the end, the remained challenges about the development of 2D c-MOF films for (opto-)electronics are highlighted and possible future directions are proposed to address these challenges.
