Here we present a particularly interesting class of surface-anchored (metal-organic frameworks andcoordination network compounds) materials SURMOFs and (conductive coordination network compounds) CCNCs for the fabrication e.g. of 1D (Photonic Band Gap) PBG materials [1,2] as optical sensors, low-k dielectric thin films [3],optoelectronic/electrochromic switchable coatings/devices [4] microelectronic devices, e.g. RRAM devices [5] or Hybrid-Materials NPs@SURMOFs for future artificial Light-Harnessing (LH) assemblies and photocatalysts.[6]

Since these materials are highly porous and the size of their pores are highly adjustable, they can be further functionalized and further tailor to electrically load and unload small ions (optoelectronic applications) or act as photon traps, which are able to efficiently absorb, transport and harness light energy over an artificial LH antenna array.[7] An outlook will be given for highly conductive and porous CCNCs thin film materials as well as further electronic characterization of SURMOFs and CCNCs.
