CONDUCTANCE OF SOLUTIONS OF LITHIUM BIS(TRIFLUOROMETHANESULFONE)IMIDE IN WATER, PROPYLENE CARBONATE, ACETONITRILE AND METHYL FORMATE AT 25-DEGREES-C

Conductance data for lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfone)imide, LiN(CF3SO2)2, are reported for the solvents water, propylene carbonate, acetonitrile and methyl formate at 25-degrees-C. Limiting molar conductivities LAMBDA0, association constants K(A), and triple ion formation constants K(t) are reported where applicable. These data are compared with literature data for the commonly studied lithium salts LiClO4 and LiAsF6. Non-coulombic energy contributions to ion pair formation are evaluated and discussed in terms of ion-ion and ion-solvent interactions.
