Abstract
We focus our attention here on semisquaric acid, which is known to show high acidity, as a new proton dissociating group for proton exchange membranes (PEMs). The introduction of a squaric acid group into aromatic polymers was conducted by the reaction of lithiated aromatic polymers and diisopropoxy squarate, followed by treatment with hydrochloric acid. A resulting polyphenylsulfone membrane with the squaric acid group introduced (PPSfโSQ, IECโ=โ4.1 meqยทg^โ1^) showed proton conductivity of 1.0โรโ10^โ1^ Sยทcm^โ1^ at 80 ยฐC under 95% relative humidity, which indicates that the semisquaric acid has the potential to become an alternative protonโconducting group for PEMs.
