Remarkably enhanced proton conduction of {NBu2(CH2COOH)2}[MnCr(ox)3] by multiplication of carboxyl carrier in the cation†
Abstract
The proton conduction of {NBu2(CH2COOH)2}[MnCr(ox)3] (dic-MnCr) is studied in comparison with its analogous {NBu3(CH2COOH)}[MnCr(ox)3] (moc-MnCr). The proton conductivity is enhanced remarkably by the multiplication of the carboxyl carrier in the cation, from 5.2 × 10−7 S cm−1 at 90% RH (25 °C) in moc-MnCr to 1.8 × 10−3 S cm−1 at 95% RH (25 °C) in dic-MnCr.
