Self-assembled one dimensional functionalized metal–organic nanotubes (MONTs) for proton conduction

Abstract

Two self-assembled isostructural functionalized metal–organic nanotubes have been synthesized using 5-triazole isophthalic acid (5-TIA) with In(III) and Cd(II). In- and Cd-5TIA possess one-dimensional (1D) nanotubular architecture and show proton conductivity along regular 1D channels, measured as 5.35 × 10⁻⁵ and 3.61 × 10⁻³ S cm⁻¹ respectively.
