Deprotonation of TTFTB leads to either an uncharged or a zwitterionic radical species depending on environment conditions. MUV 20a/b are expected to be present in its zwitterionic form.

explained in terms of a hopping mechanism along the TTF S stacking direction. • Generation of charge carriers on TTF promotes semiconductivity due to efficient hole transporting 1D TTF channels along the structure. • Engendering zwitterionic structures can be an alternative strategy to infuse conductivity in porous organic crystals. • Transport measurements place the zwitterionic MUV-20a and MUV-20b materials as the highest conducting HOFs so far. 27
