K1 Conductividad eléctrica K1 Polímeros organometálicos K1 Baterías de estado sólido AB A family of alkali metal-based frameworks containing the tetraphosphonate ligand hexamethylenediamine-N,N,N′,N′-tetrakisIJmethylenephosphonic acid), HDTMP, is reported. A cation size-induced structural diversity,from monodimensional solids (Li+ and Na+) through layered (K+) to pillared-layered (Rb+ and Cs+)structures, was found. The proton conductivity properties of the Li compounds (hydrated and dehydrated)are reported and the influence of dehydration/rehydration processes in enhancing proton transfer processesis highlighted. Reversible changes in the dimensionality occurred upon full dehydration/rehydrationwith minor rearrangements in the framework, implying variations in the Li+–ligand connectivity but preservingthe tetracoordination of the metal ion. The reversibly dehydrated–rehydrated sample displayed thehighest proton conductivity (5 × 10−3 S cm−1 at 80 °C and 95% RH), a behavior attributed to reversible formation/reformation of P–OIJH)–Li bonds that, in turn, provoked changes in the acidity of acid groups andwater mobility in the temperature range of impedance measurements.
