In recent years, the potential applications of two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic framework (MOF) materials in fields like spintronics have drawn increasing attention. Inspired by the successful synthesis of a perthiolated coronene (PTC)-Fe MOF structure, this study explores the fine-tuning of its electronic and magnetic structure by substituting Fe elements with various transition metals. Our calculations demonstrate a substantial increase in the Curie temperature () by a factor of 5 for Co and 10 for Mn when replacing Fe. This enhancement is attributed to the elevated electron density near the Fermi level, facilitating the generation of additional itinerant electrons crucial for the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) exchange mechanism. However, substituting Fe with V, Cr, Ni, and Cu leads to a loss of ferromagnetic ground state. Our work enhances the understanding of the electronic and magnetic behavior of the 2D PTC-TM (transition metal) MOF family, and provides a promising avenue for engineering 2D magnetic MOF systems.

Metal-bis(dithiolene) is one of the most promising structures showing redox activity, excellent electron transport and magnetic properties as well as catalytic activities. Perthiolated coronene (PTC), an emerging highly symmetric ligand containing the smallest graphene nanoplate was employed to manufacture a hybrid material with fused metal-bis(dithiolene) and graphene nanoplate, and it has been demonstrated as an efficient strategy for the construction of multifunctional materials recently. Herein, Co-PTC, a 2D MOF containing Co-bis(dithiolene) and coronene units is prepared via a homogeneous reaction for the first time as powder samples, which are bar-shaped microparticles composed of nanosheets.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have so far been highlighted for their potential roles in catalysis, gas storage and separation. However, the realization of high electrical conductivity (>10 S cm) and magnetic ordering in MOFs will afford them new functions for spintronics, which remains relatively unexplored. Here, we demonstrate the synthesis of a two-dimensional MOF by solvothermal methods using perthiolated coronene as a ligand and planar iron-bis(dithiolene) as linkages enabling a full π-d conjugation.
