High Proton Conductivity by a Metal—Organic Framework Incorporating ZnO Clusters with Aligned Imidazolium Groups Decorating the Channels.

A novel metal—organic framework, [{(Zn)(O)}Zn(L)(HO)(DMF)(NO)] (1) {HL = 1,3-bis(4-carboxyphenyl)imidazolium}, has been synthesized under solvothermal conditions in good yield. It shows a ZnO cluster that is coordinated to six ligands and forms an overall three-dimensional structure with channels al...
