Popis: A new 3D anionic metal-organic framework material, namely, [Me2NH2]2[Cd3(L)]·2H2O (1, H4L ​= ​2,5′-di(3′,5′-dicarboxylphenyl)pyridine) has been synthesized under solvothermal conditions and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, PXRD, thermogravimetric analysis and proton conduction investigation. In 1, the adjacent Cd(II) ions are joined to form a trinuclear [Cd3(COO)8] secondary building unit (SBU) by eight bridging carboxylate groups of L4− ligands. The trinuclear [Cd3(COO)8] SBUs are connected by L4− ligands into a 3D (4,8)-connected framework with 1D channels. Most interestingly, due to the guest [Me2NH2]+ cations, water molecules and carboxylates sites are lined the pore channels, 1 possesses a remarkable proton conductivity of 1.12 ​× ​10−1 ​S ​cm−1 ​at 60 ​°C and 98% RH, which is comparable to commercially available Nafion. The mechanism of proton conduction was also well discussed.
