Recently, proton conduction has been a thread of high potential owing to its wide applications in fuel-cell technology. In the search for a new class of crystalline materials for protonic conductors, three metalo hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (MHOFs) based on [Ni(Imdz)(6)](2+) and arene disulfonates (MHOF1 and MHOF2) or dicarboxylate (MHOF3) have been reported (Imdz = imidazole). The presence of an ionic backbone with charge-assisted H-bonds, coupled with amphiprotic imidazoles made these MHOFs protonic conductors, exhibiting conduction values of 0.75 x 10(-3), 3.5 x 10(-4) and 0.97 x 10(-3) S cm(-1), respectively, at 80 degrees C and 98% relative humidity, which are comparable to other crystalline metal-organic framework, coordination polymer, polyoxometalate, covalent organic framework, and hydrogen-bonded organic framework materials. This report initiates the usage of MHOF materials as a new class of solid-state proton conductors.
