Ground to conduct: mechanochemical synthesis of a metal–organic framework with high proton conductivity

Abstract

We report a high proton-conducting material prepared for the first time by economical and environmentally-friendly mechanochemistry. Structural elucidation of the material from powder X-ray diffraction data reveals the details of the solid-state reaction. The reaction represents a new synthetic strategy towards materials related to fuel cell technology.

Crystal structures of bis[4-(dimethylamino)pyridinium] tetrakis(thiocyanato-κN)manganate(II) and tris[4-(dimethylamino)pyridinium] pentakis(thiocyanato-κN)manganate(II)

“…They include tetrakis(tetramethylphosphonium) [hexakis(thiocyanato)manganese(II)] (Li et al, 2015), tetrakis(tetramethylammonium) [hexakis(thiocyanato)manganese(II)] (Savard & Leznoff, 2013) and tetrakis(tris(aminoethyl)amine)(thiocyanato)copper(II) [hexakis(-thiocyanato)manganese(II)] (Bose et al, 2006). Similar compounds with five thiocyanate anions coordinating to Mn II are also known, but only a few have been reported (Matoga et al, 2015;Savard & Leznoff, 2013;Hill et al, 2008). Finally, some discrete Mn II complexes with a fourfold thiocyanate coordination are also known, such as in the salt bis(tetraphenylphosphonium) [tetrakis(thiocyanato)manganese(II)] (Kushch et al, 2014).…”
