In the present work the 3D-supramolecular network is stabilized by N–H…O and O–H…O hydrogen bonds, by O…N interactions involving the organic cation and inorganic anion as checked by Hirshfeld surface analysis. The van der Waals contacts play a key role in the consolidation of the packing of 4-chloro-2-methylanilinium dihydrogenphosphate[4-CMDHP] structure. In order to support experimental results, density functional theory calculations have been performed using B3LYP functional with 3-21 G basis set.

Phosphorylated zeolite-A/chitosan composites were prepared and characterized as an alternative material for proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Their applicability was demonstrated by mechanical properties, swelling property, proton conductivity, methanol permeability, and thermal resistance. Chitosan was prepared from shrimp shell waste by deproteination, demineralization, and deacetylation. Chitosan was modified using zeolite A in the various concentrations.
