Supramolecular encapsulation of hexaaquacobalt(<scp>ii</scp>) cations in a hydrogen-bonded framework for slow magnetic relaxation and high proton conduction

Abstract

ions within the supramolecular framework, revealing a rare single-ion magnet (SIM) HOF. Additionally, the HOF also exhibits high proton conductivity above 100 °C due to the extensive H-bond networks and high content of water and carboxylate within the material. More importantly, these results not only observe the magnetic and electrical properties of an old molecule but also demonstrate a significant turn-on effect of multifunctionalities from non-functional synthons achieved in a supramolecular approach.
