Solutions of LiCF3SO3 and LiClO4 in acetone and in poly(propylene glycol) (PPG 400 and PPG 4000) have been compared by studying the nondegenerate, symmetric stretch (A1,SO3) and (A1,ClO4) Raman modes. The Raman spectra contain bands due to the symmetric stretching motion of the "free" anion and due to the symmetric stretching motion of anions in ion aggregates. It is concluded that "free" ions, ion pairs, triplets, and aggregates are present. Although PPG has a much lower dielectric constant, it is a better solvent for these salts than the dipolar aprotic acetone. These findings have ramifications on the current controversy of whether "free" ions are present at all in polyether–salt complexes such as PPG 4000/LiCF3SO3. Key words: acetone, poly(propylene glycol), lithium triflate, lithium perchlorate, Raman.

Triphenylmethyl chloride with mercuric chloride ionizes and dissociates in 1,2-dichloroethane and 1,2-dichloroethane-styrene mixtures into ion pairs and free ions. The values of the equilibrium constants for ionization to ion pairs and the subsequent dissociation of these show that the free ions are preferentially solvated by the added styrene. The consequences of this for the cationic polymerization of styrene are briefly discussed.

Theoretical potential-time curves were derived in the form Δαβφ = f(t) (Δαβφ denotes Galvani potential difference between phases β and α), expressing mathematically a reversible transfer of a cation across the interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions under galvanostatic conditions. The formation of ion pairs or complexes was taken into account, and the influence of certain components of two-phase systems on the form of potential-time curves is discussed.

AbstractThe conductance of Nal and Et4NI in methanol-acetonitrile and methanol-water mixtures was measured at 25 ± 0.005 °C for the whole range of the solvent compositions, the salt molarity ranging from 5 • 10-5 up to 1 • 10-2. Several equations describing the influence of the salt concentration on the equivalent conductance are examined and the Fuoss-Hsia equation with the Fernandez-Prini parameters is found to be the most appropriate one for systems with weak ionic association. Variations with the solvent composition of the limiting equivalent conductance, the distance between ions forming ion pairs and the association constant are discussed. Nonmonotonous changes of the association constant are concluded to be a feature of microheterogenous systems.

Abstract Nature employs channel proteins to selectively pass water across cell membranes, which inspires search for bio-mimetic analogues. Carbon nanotube porins (CNTPs) are intriguing mimics of water channels, yet ion transport in CNTPs still poses questions. As alternative to continuum models, here we present a molecular mean-field model, computing ab initio all required thermodynamic quantities for KCl salt and H+ and OH- ions present in water. Starting from water transfer, the model considers transfer of free ions, along with ion-pair formation to address ion-ion interactions. High affinity to hydroxide, suggested by experiments and making it dominant charge carrier in CNTP, is revealed as an exceptionally favorable transfer of KOH pairs. Nevertheless, free ions, coexisting with less mobile ion-pairs, apparently control ion transport. The model explains well the observed effects of salt concentration and pH on conductivity, transport numbers, anion permeation and its activation energies, and current rectification. The proposed approach is extendable to other sub-nanochannels and help design novel osmotic materials and devices.
