In addition to selected previously reported 1D, 2D and 3D materials, a newcompound, KZn6(OOCCH(OH)PO3)4(OH)·5H2O (KZn6-HPAA-3D), has been prepared and thoroughly characterized.The crystal structure of this solid, solved ab initio from synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data,consists of a negatively charged 3D framework with K+ ions, as compensating counterions. It also containswater molecules filling the cavities in contrast to the potassium-free 3D anhydrous NH4Zn(OOCCH(OH)PO3)(NH4Zn-HPAA-3D). In the range of temperature studied, the 1D materials exhibit a 1D → 2D solid-state transition.At 80 °C and 95 % RH, the 2D solids show moderate proton conductivities, between 2.1 × 10 − 5 S·cm − 1 and6.7 × 10− 5 S·cm− 1. The proton conductivity is slightly increased by ammonia adsorption up to 2.6 × 10 − 4 S·cm − 1,although no ammonia intercalation was observed. As synthesized KZn6-HPAA-3D exhibits a low proton conductivity,1.6 × 10− 6 S·cm− 1, attributed to the basic character of the framework and a low mobility of water molecules.However, this solid transforms to the 2D phase, Zn(OOCCH(OH)PO3H)·2H2O, upon exposure to dry HCl(g), whichenhances the proton conductivity with respect to the as-synthesized 2D material (4.5 × 10− 4 S·cm− 1). On the otherhand, NH4Zn-HPAA-3D exhibited a higher proton conductivity, 1.4 × 10− 4 S·cm− 1, than the K+ analog.
