Abstract

Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopic studies have been undertaken to investigate the interactions among components in a system of hexanoyl chitosan-lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate (LiCF(3)SO(3))-diethyl carbonate (DEC)/ethylene carbonate (EC). LiCF(3)SO(3) interacts with the hexanoyl chitosan to form a hexanoyl chitosan-salt complex that results in the shifting of the N(COR)(2), CONHR and OCOR bands to lower wavenumbers. Interactions between EC and DEC with LiCF(3)SO(3) has been noted and discussed. Evidence of interaction between EC and DEC has been obtained experimentally. Studies on polymer-plasticizer spectra suggested that there is no interaction between the polymer host and plasticizers. Competition between plasticizer and polymer on associating with Li(+) ions was observed from the spectral data for gel polymer electrolytes. The obtained spectroscopic data has been correlated with the conductivity performance of hexanoyl chitosan-based polymer electrolytes.

Neutron diffraction and simulation studies of CsNO3 and Cs2CO3 solutions.

Neutron diffraction with isotopic substitution (NDIS) experiments and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been used to study the structuring in aqueous solution of two cesium salts, cesium carbonate, and cesium nitrate. As was previously found for guanidinium salts of carbonate, mesoscopic-scale clusters were seen to form in the Cs2CO3 solution both in the MD simulations and in the diffraction experiments. No such large scale ion clusters were found in the CsNO3 solutions in either the modeling or experiments. The results are dominated by the strength and geometry of the direct first-neighbor interactions, which explain the differences in the clustering behavior between the two solutions without need to refer to longer-range water-water structuring.
