Abstract

The features of proton transport and proton hydration shell structure of calix[6]arene sulfonic acid were studied. XRD and NMR data indicate the existence of crystalline and amorphous phases and various conformations in the acid structure. The hydration process occurs in three stages by thermal analysis and IR spectroscopy. The change in the composition of the hydrate affected the conductivity only at low humidity; an inverse relationship between the water uptake and the activation energy of conductivity is observed in the entire investigated range of humidity.
