“…The title compound 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane-1,4-diium dihydrogen phosphate monohydrate (I) belongs to the group of substances based on the salts of oxo-acids and nitrogen-containing organic bases, which could have interesting physical properties originating from the presence of various hydrogen bonds, whose arrangement and energies are crucial for this type of proton conductors. Till this time synthesis, properties and crystal structures of several new salts, where the anions were selenite, hydrogen selenite, diselenite, selenate, hydrogen selenate, phosphate, hydrogen phosphate and dihydrogen phosphate and the cations piperazinium and N,N 0 -dimethylpiperazinium (Havlíček et al, 2000;Němec et al, 2001;Havlíček et al, 2002;Plocek et al, 2003), ethanediammonium, 1,3-propanediammonium and 1,4-butanediammonium have been studied, but it was just the compound (I), which showed the structure with some unique features and has also provided nonlinear dependence of the current on the voltage in DC measurement. This apparent discrepancy with the Ohm's law is connected with charge transfer resistance of the proton conducting sample, where a rectified transport of protons released from the own structure is followed by their transport near the surface and heterogeneous electron transfer.…”
