contents Optimizing energy and charge transport is key in design and implementation of efficient two-dimensional (2D) conductive metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for practical applications. In this work, for the first time, we investigate the role of both long-range excitonic and short-range charge transfer (CT) coupling as well as their dependency on reorganization energy on through-space transport properties in 2D MOFs. A pi-stacked model system is built based on the archetypal Ni3(HITP)2 2D MOF and a Frenkel/CT Holstein Hamiltonian is developed that takes into account both electronic coupling and intramolecular vibrations. The dependency of the long and short-range couplings of both secondary building units (SBUs) and organic linkers to different dynamical motions in 2D MOFs are evaluated which predicts that photophysical properties of 2D MOFs critically depend on the degree of ordering between layers. Using the model system, we show that the impact of the two coupling sources in these materials can be discerned or enhanced by sliding of the SBU in a cofacial configuration along the long- or short molecular axis. The effects of vibronic spectral signatures are examined for integrated Frenkel/CT systems in both perturbative and resonance regimes. Although to the best of our knowledge sliding engineering in 2D MOFs currently remains beyond reach, the findings reported here offer new details on the photophysical structure-property relationships on 2D MOFs and provide suggestions into how to combine elements of molecular design and engineering to achieve desirable properties and functions for nano- and mesoscale optoelectronic applications.
