A 2D metal–organic framework (2D‐MOF) was formed on a Cu(111) substrate using benzenehexol molecules. By means of a combination of scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy and density‐functional theory, the structure of the 2D‐MOF is determined to be Cu 3 (C 6 O 6 ), which is stabilized by O–Cu–O bonding motifs. We find that upon adsorption on Cu(111), the 2D‐MOF features a semiconductor band structure with a direct band gap of 1.5 eV. The O–Cu–O bonds offer efficient charge delocalization, which gives rise to a highly dispersive conduction band with an effective mass of 0.45 m e at the band bottom, implying a high electron mobility in this material.
