Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are prone to exhibit phase transitions under stimuli such as changes in pressure;
temperature;
or gas sorption because of their flexible and responsive structures. Here we report that a dense MOF;
((CH3)2NH2)2[Li2Zr(C2O4)4;
exhibits an abrupt increase in proton conductivity from -9 to 3.9 × 10-5 S/cm at 17°C (activation energy;
0.64 eV) upon exposure to humidity. The conductivities were determined using single crystals;
and the structures were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and X-ray pair distribution function analysis. The initial anhydrous structure transforms to another dense structure via topotactic hydration (H2O/Zr = 0.5);
wherein one-fourth of the Li ions are irreversibly rearranged and coordinated by water molecules. This structure further transforms into a third crystalline structure by water uptake (H2O/Zr = 4.0). The abrupt increase in conductivity is reversible and is associated with the latter reversible structure transformation. The H2O molecules coordinated to Li ions;
which are formed in the first step of the transformation;
are considered to be the proton source;
and the absorbed water molecules;
which are formed in the second step;
are considered to be proton carriers. © 2015 American Chemical Society;
