Abstract

A quantum chemistry based, dipole polarizable force field has been used to simulate the N,N,N,N-tetramethylammonium (TMA) dicyanamide (DCA) ionic salt, in both plastic crystalline and liquid phases. Simulations predicted the [TMA][DCA] crystal structure and dimensions in good agreement with experiment. Ion–counterion spatial distributions are used to understand the local environment and ion pairing of both ions in crystalline and liquid phases. The rotational dynamics of ions in the crystalline system are thoroughly explored. Arrest of the DCA rotational degrees of freedom was associated with the experimentally observed solid–solid phase transitions. The self-diffusion coefficient and conductivity were calculated for the liquid state; however no net ion diffusion is noted in the pristine crystalline state. Introduction of ion vacancy at 0.3% concentration is found to be sufficient to enable ion diffusive behavior and conduction at 425 K in the crystalline state, with good agreement found between the experimental and simulated conductivity.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
