Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are attracting attention as potential proton conductors. There are two main advantages of MOFs in this application: the possibility of rational design and tuning of the properties, and clear conduction pathways given by their crystalline structure. We hereby present two new MOF structures, ICR-10 and ICR-11, based on tetratopic phosphinate ligands. The structures of both MOFs were determined by 3D electron diffraction. They both crystallize in the P-3 space group and contain arrays of parallel linear pores lined with hydrophilic non-coordinated phosphinate groups. This, together with the adsorbed water molecules, facilitates proton transfer via the Grotthuss mechanism, leading to the proton conductivity up to 4.26∙10-4 S cm-1 for ICR-11.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) based on zirconium secondary building units (SBUs) have proven to have great thermal and chemical stability,[1,2] which make them ideal for their use in different applications. We have prepared a series of six new MOFs made from the Zr6O4(OH)4(-CO2)nsecondary building units (n = 6, 8, 10, or 12) and variously shaped carboxyl organic linkers to make extended porous frameworks, with the aim of studying their performance as water adsorbents. Thus, we have evaluated the water adsorption properties of these new MOFs and other reported porous materials to identify the compounds with the most promising materials for use in applications such as thermal batteries or delivery of drinking water in remote areas. An X-ray single-crystal and a powder neutron diffraction study reveal the position of the water adsorption sites in one of the best performing materials, and highlight the importance of the intermolecular interactions between adsorbed water molecules within the pores.

<div><div>The quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) method is a hybrid molecular simulation technique that increases the accessibility of local electronic structures of large systems.</div><div> The technique combines the benefit of accuracy found in the QM method and that of cost efficiency found in the MM method.</div><div> However, it is difficult to directly apply the QM/MM method to the dynamics of solution systems, particularly for proton transfer. </div><div> As explained in the Grotthuss mechanism, proton transfer is a structural interconversion between hydronium ions and solvent water molecules. </div><div> Hence, when the QM/MM method is applied, an adaptive treatment, namely on-the-fly revisions on molecular definitions, is required for both the solute and solvent. </div><div> Although several solvent-adaptive methods have been proposed, a full adaptive framework, which is an approach that also considers adaptation for solutes, remains untapped. In this paper, we propose a new numerical expression for the coordinates of the excess proton and its control algorithm.</div><div> Furthermore, we confirm that this method can stably and accurately simulate proton transfer dynamics in bulk water.</div></div>
