Abstract:
The physical properties of the ionic conductor [Formula: see text], obtained by dissolution of lithium trifluoromethanesulphonylimide in poly(propylene oxide), have been investigated for several values of n. The glass transition temperature [Formula: see text] has been established from both DSC and NMR techniques. The diffusion coefficients of [Formula: see text]-containing species have been determined by the pulsed magnetic field gradient technique. The behaviour of the proton relaxation time [Formula: see text] versus temperature and concentration has been correlated to the glass temperature. The behaviour of the proton transverse relaxation function, obtained by the spin-echo technique, has been interpreted using a simple model in which two regimes and consequently two transverse relaxation times coexist and are assigned to the `entangled' and `non-entangled' parts of the high-molecular-weight polymer chains investigated.

¹H NMR: Complex Splitting
Splitting diagrams or splitting tree diagrams are routinely used to depict such complex couplings. While drawing splitting diagrams, the splitting with the larger coupling constant is usually applied first.
