Synthesis, Thermal Stability, and Ionic Conductivity of Phenyl-Extended Viologen Ditriflate Salts: Tailoring Properties via Oxyethylene Chain Length
Six new phenyl-extended viologen salts with oxyethylene groups paired with triflate anions (OTF) have been synthesized using anionic ring-opening and ring-closing reactions (ANRORC) and metathesis reactions with LiOTf salts. The salts, which contain terminal oxyethylene chains of varying lengths ((CH2CH2O) n , n = 1, 2...
