Abstract:
We report the synthesis of a crystalline cyclic organoboron compound that shows an anomalous Li-ion conduction behaviour with specific composition and method of insertion of a Li salt. The enhanced ionic conductivity of crystalline boric ester/LiTFSI prepared by the grinding method should be due to the formation of regulated ion-conduction channels scaffolded by boron-anion interaction.

54.3K
Ions are atoms or molecules bearing an electrical charge. A cation (a positive ion) forms when a neutral atom loses one or more electrons from its valence shell, and an anion (a negative ion) forms when a neutral atom gains one or more electrons in its valence shell. Compounds composed of ions are called ionic compounds (or salts), and their constituent ions are held together by ionic bonds: electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged cations and anions.

Ionic crystals consist of two or more different kinds of ions that usually have different sizes. The packing of these ions into a crystal structure is more complex than the packing of metal atoms that are the same size.
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
