AB Proton conduction in solids attracts great interest, not onlybecause of possible applications in fuel cell technologies, but also because ofthe main role of this process in many biological mechanisms. Metal−organicframeworks (MOFs) can exhibit exceptional proton-conduction performances,because of the large number of hydrogen-bonded water moleculesembedded in their pores. However, further work remains to be done toelucidate the real conducting mechanism. Among the different MOFsubfamilies, bioMOFs, which have been constructed using biomoleculederivatives as building blocks and often affording water-stable materials,emerge as valuable systems to study the transport mechanisms involved inthe proton-hopping dynamics. Herein, we report a versatile chiral threedimensional(3D) bioMOF, exhibiting permanent porosity, as well as highchemical, structural, and water stability. Moreover, the choice of thissuitable bioligand results in proton conductivity, and allows us to propose aproton-conducting mechanism based on experimental data, which are displayed visually by means of quantum moleculardynamics simulations.
