As an emerging class of promising porous materials, the development of two-dimensional conductive metal organic frameworks (2D c-MOFs) is hampered by the few categories and tedious synthesis of the specific ligands. Herein, we developed a nonplanar hexahydroxyl-functionalized Salphen ligand (6OH-Salphen) through a facile two-step synthesis, which was further applied to construct layered 2D c-MOFs through in situ one pot synthesis based on the synergistic metal binding effect of the N2 O2 pocket of Salphen. Interestingly, the C2v -symmetry of ligand endows Cu-Salphen-MOF with periodically heterogeneous pore structures. Benefitting from the higher metal density and shorter in-plane metal-metal distance, Cu-Salphen-MOF showcased excellent NO2 sensing performance with good sensitivity, selectivity and reversibility. The current work opens up a new avenue to construct 2D c-MOF directly from nonplanar ligands, which greatly simplifies the synthesis and provides new possibilities for preparing different topological 2D c-MOF based functional materials.
