Postsynthesis Modification of a Porous Coordination Polymer by LiCl To Enhance H+ Transport
A Ca2+ porous coordination polymer with ID channels was functionalized by the postsynthesis addition of LiCl to enhance the H+ conductivity. The compound showed over 10(-2) S cm(-1) at 25 degrees C and 20% relative humidity. Pulse-field gradient NMR elucidated that the fast H+ conductivity was achieved by the support of Li+ ion movements in the channel.
