The Grotthuss mechanism
TL;DR: In this paper, it is suggested that the molecular mechanism behind prototropic mobility involves a periodic series of isomerizations between H 9 O 4 + and H 5 O 2 +, the first trigerred by hyrdogen-bond cleavage of a second-shell water molecule and the second by the reverse, hydrogen-bonder formation process.
