Abstract

We probe the ionic conduction and the molecular dynamics in a pure and lithium-salt doped dinitrile molecular plastic crystal. While the diffusion of the Li+ ions is decoupled from the molecular reorientational dynamics, in the undoped plastic crystal the temperature dependence of the mobility of dinitrile ions and thus of the conductivity is virtually identical to that of on-site molecular rotations. The undoped material is found to obey the Walden and Stokes–Einstein rules typical of ideal liquid electrolytes, implying that an effective viscosity against diffusion can be defined even for a plastic crystalline phase. These surprising results, never reported before in a translationally ordered solid, indicate that in this dinitrile plastic crystalline material the timescale of translational diffusion is perfectly correlated with that of the purely reorientational on-site dynamics.

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.
