The proton conduction properties of a phosphonato-sulfonate-based coordination polymer are studied by impedance spectroscopy using a single crystal specimen. Two distinct conduction mechanisms are identified. Water-mediated conductance along the crystal surface occurs by mass transport, as evidenced by a high activation energy (0.54 eV). In addition, intrinsic conduction by proton 'hopping' through the interior of the crystal with a low activation energy (0.31 eV) is observed. This latter conduc ...[more]
