Synthesis of Al(OH)(O2C–C6H4–CO2)(H2O) [MIL-53(Al)] (1). The synthesis of MIL-53(Al) was performed as described elsewhere.1 Al(NO3)3·9H2O 3.9 g (10.5 mmol), terephthalic acid 0.86 g (7.5 mmol), and water (30 mL) were added to a 70 mL Teflon-lined steel autoclave. The autoclave was heated in an oven at 473 K for three days. After filtering, washing with water and then drying in air, the compound was kept at 503 K in an electric furnace for three days to remove excess terephthalic acid in the pores. The calcined sample was refluxed in ethanol for a day and then dried at 473 K under vacuum. A white powder of 1 was obtained (0.50 g, 29.3%). Elemental analysis calcd. for C8H7O6Al: C, 42.49; H, 3.12%. Found: C, 42.89; H, 2.84%. Synthesis of Al(OH)(O2C–C6H3(NH2)–CO2)(H2O) [MIL-53(Al)–NH2] (2). The synthesis of MIL-53(Al)–NH2 was performed as described elsewhere.2 Al(NO3)3·9H2O 1.99 g (5.3 mmol), 2-aminoterephthalic acid 0.98 g (5.7 mmol), and water (13 mL) were added to a 70 mL Teflon-lined steel autoclave. The autoclave was heated in an oven at 423 K for five hours. After filtering, the compound was refluxed in N,N´-dimethylformamide at 423 K for 12 hours and then dried in an oven at 413 K for one day. A yellow powder of 2 was obtained (0.38 g, 30.3%). Elemental analysis calcd. for C8H8O6NAl: C, 39.85; H, 3.34; N, 5.81%. Found: C, 39.88; H, 3.17; N, 5.87%.

Synthesis of Al(OH)(O2C–C6H3(OH)–CO2)(H2O)1.5 [MIL-53(Al)–OH] (3). The synthesis of MIL-53(Al)–OH was performed as described elsewhere.3 First, the synthesis of 2-hydroxyterephthalic acid was carried out from 2-aminoterephthalic acid in a one-step reaction using the same synthesis method. 2-hydroxyterephthalic acid 1.87 g (10.2 mmol) dissolved in N,N´-dimethylformamide (30 mL) was added dropwise to Al(NO3)3·9H2O 7.81 g (21 mmol) dissolved in water (30mL) at ambient temperature. The reaction mixture was heated to 363 K and held at the temperature for 40 hours. After filtering, the crude compound was refluxed in ethanol for 36 hours and then dried at 393 K under vacuum. A white powder of 3 was obtained (2.04 g, 80%). Elemental analysis calcd. for C8H8O7.5.Al: C, 38.26; H, 3.21%. Found: C, 37.84; H, 2.79%. Synthesis of Fe(OH)(O2C–C6H2(COOH)2–CO2)(H2O) [MIL-53(Fe)–(COOH)2] (4). The synthesis of MIL-53(Fe)–(COOH)2 was performed as described elsewhere.4 FeCl2·4H2O 1.13 g (5.68 mmol), 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid 0.71 g (2.84 mmol), and HF (0.21 mL), and water (48 mL) were added to a 120 mL Teflon-lined steel autoclave. The autoclave was heated in an oven at 473 K for two days. After filtering and washing with water, orange crystals of 4 were obtained (0.15 g, 15.4%). Elemental analysis calcd. for C10H7O10Fe: C, 35.02; H, 2.06%. Found: C, 34.94; H, 2.04%.

Water adsorption and desorption isotherm measurements. Water adsorption and desorption isotherm measurements were carried out volumetrically with an automatic adsorption apparatus, BELSORP-max (BEL Japan). Samples were prepared by degassing at 473K for 24 hours.

Conductivity measurements. Proton conductivity measurements of the compounds were determined using the conventional quasi-four-probe method, using gold paste and gold wires (50 μm φ) with a Solartron SI 1260 Impedance/Gain-Phase Analyzer and 1296 Dielectric Interface in the frequency range 1 Hz to 1 MHz at 298 K under humid conditions (controlled by using an Espec Corp. SH-221 incubator), using sample pellets of ~ 0.7 mm thickness and 2.5 mm φ.
