Revisiting the water sorption isotherm of MOF using electrical measurements.

Water adsorption/desorption isotherms of Cr-soc-MOF-1 were monitored electrically, with the translation of proton conductivity measurements to physisorption isotherms in terms of S-shape and hysteresis features revealed by volumetry. Molecular modelling further established the relationship between the evolutive water-hydrogen bonded network and the "electrical" isotherm for this water-mediated proton conducting MOF.
