New disordering mode for TFSI- anions: the nonequilibrium, plastic crystalline structure of Et4NTFSI.
A new TFSI- anion disordering mode has been discovered in a supercooled plastic crystalline phase of Et4NTFSI, which may, in part, account for the low melting points of TFSI- salts with organic cations, thereby forming ionic liquids, and the intriguing properties of LiTFSI for lithium battery applications.
