Herein, two Fe-diphosphonate chains (H4-BAPEN)0.5·[FeIII(H-HEDP)(HEDP)0.5(H2O)] (1) and (H4-TETA)2·[FeIII2FeII(H-HEDP)2(HEDP)2(OH)2]·2H2O (2) (HEDP = 1-hydroxyethylidenediphosphonate, BAPEN = 1,2-bis(3-aminopropylamino)ethane, and TETA = triethylenetetramine) with different templating agents were prepared by hydrothermal reactions. The valence states of the Fe centers were demonstrated by 57Fe Mössbauer spectra at 100 K, with a high-spin FeIII state for 1 and mixed high-spin FeIII/FeII states for 2. Their magnetic properties were determined, which featured strong antiferromagnetic couplings in the chain. Importantly, the proton conductivity of both compounds at 100% relative humidity was explored at different temperatures, with 2.79 × 10-4 S cm-1 at 80 °C for 1 and 7.55 × 10-4 S cm-1 at 45 °C for 2, respectively. This work provides an opportunity for improving proton conductive properties by increasing the relative number of protons and the carrier density using protonated flexible aliphatic amines.Activation of the strongest triplet bond in molecular nitrogen (N2) under mild conditions is particularly challenging. Recently, its fixation and reduction were achieved by highly reactive dicoordinated borylene species at ambient conditions, ripping the limits of harsh reaction conditions by metallic species. Less reactive species with a facile preparation could be desirable for next-generation N2 activation. Now density functional theory calculations reveal that tricoordinated boranes could be a potential candidate of N2 activation/functionalization. As composites of an intramolecular frustrated Lewis pair (FLP), optimal and realistic boranes are screened out to activate N2 in a significantly favorable manner (both thermodynamically and kinetica
