The fundamentally important phenomenon of mixed valency has been discussed in detail over the past 50 years, predominantly context dinuclear complexes, which are used as model systems for understanding electron delocalization more complex biological and physical systems. Very recently, shown to be an mechanism charge transfer, leading conductivity two- three-dimensional framework materials such metal–organic frameworks related including covalent organic semicrystalline semiconducting graphenes. This Viewpoint provides a current perspective on field mixed-valence frameworks, where property is either intrinsic or generated postsynthetically via external stimulus. Aspects spectroscopy applications these also discussed, highlighting future potential exploiting extended solid-state
