Mobility of hydrated alkali metal ions in metallosupramolecular ionic crystals.

ABSTRACT: The design and creation of ionic crystals that show high mobility of ionic species in the solid state has long been a research topic of considerable attention not only due to the practical applications of these materials but also due to the correlation of such ionic species with ion-transport biological systems. In this work, we report the mobility of alkali metal ions (M = Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺) in the ionic crystals M₆[Rh₄Zn₄O (l-cysteinate)₁₂]·nH₂O (M₆[1]·nH₂O). In M₆[1]·nH₂O, alkali metal ions are distributed in a disordered manner, together with a number of water molecules, within a rigid hydrogen-bonded framework of anionic clus
