@article{25900, abstract = {{The proton conduction properties of a phosphonato-sulfonate-based coordination polymer are studied by impedance spectroscopy using a single crystal specimen. Two distinct conduction mechanisms are identified. Water-mediated conductance along the crystal surface occurs by mass transport, as evidenced by a high activation energy (0.54 eV). In addition, intrinsic conduction by proton ′hopping′ through the interior of the crystal with a low activation energy (0.31 eV) is observed. This latter conduction is anisotropic with respect to the crystal structure and seems to occur through a channel along the c axis of the orthorhombic crystal. Proton conduction is assumed to be mediated by sulfonate groups and non-coordinating water molecules that are part of the crystal structure.}}, author = {{Javed, Ali and Wagner, Thorsten and Wöhlbrandt, Stephan and Stock, Norbert and Tiemann, Michael}}, issn = {{1439-4235}}, journal = {{ChemPhysChem}}, pages = {{605--609}}, title = {{{Proton Conduction in a Single Crystal of a Phosphonato‐Sulfonate‐Based Coordination Polymer: Mechanistic Insight}}}, doi = {{10.1002/cphc.202000102}}, year = {{2020}}, }
