![]() | Our paper on the development of a new method to prepare high-quality films of the two-dimensional conjugated coordination polymer Cu-BHT is highlighted with the front cover page of Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS). We developed a solvent-free chemical vapor deposition method to prepare high-quality films of the two-dimensional conjugated coordination polymer Cu-BHT (BHT = benzenehexanothiolate). The restricted metal ion mobility during the vapor–solid reaction enables high-resolution patterning via both bottom-up lithography, including the fabrication of micron-sized Hall bar and electrode patterns to accurately evaluate the conductivity and mobility values of the Cu-BHT films. Crystalline coordination polymers with high electrical conductivities and charge carrier mobilities might open new opportunities for electronic devices. This work is a result of fruitful cooperation between the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf e.V., Dresden University of Technology, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven and Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY.
