Synthesis and proton conductivity of adsorption-saturated and solvated porous hydroxyethylated cyclam layers on the surface of PVC-coated cellulose fabric

Porous layers of associates of adsorption-saturated and benzene- and hexane-solvated chloride and sulfate of hydroxyethylated cyclams with acid aqua complexes were synthesized on the surface of PVC-coated cellulose fabric. The porous structure of the layers includes a system of internal pores connected with the external pores via the diamine rings of the common walls of the hydroxyethylated cyclam nets; the internal pores are filled with the associates; the solvent molecules are adsorbed on the developed surface of the layers or solvate it. The H⁺ motion rate in a layer placed in solvent vapors or liquid solvents was measured; the layers were found to be nonlinear H⁺ conductors. The potential of H⁺ transition from the acid solution into the layer, the H⁺ mobility constant, and the field variation constant of the H⁺ mobility of the layer depend on the layer composition. The adsorption and solvation are accompanied by the formation of host-guest molecular complexes between the diamine rings of the cyclam nets and the benzene or hexane molecules, affecting the resistance of the associates to the incorporation of H⁺ ions and the H⁺ mobility in the associates.
