title: Direct measurements of ionic mobility of ionic liquids using the electric field applying pulsed gradient spin-echo NMR.
abstract: Ionic mobilities of the ionic liquids, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(fluorosulfonyl)amide,1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium fluorosulfonyl-(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) -amide, were measured using the electric field applying pulsed gradient spin-echo NMR technique. Observed mobilities were more than 1 order of magnitude greater than the values estimated from the diffusion coefficients measured under the equilibrium state without the electric field. Electric field dependence of the ionic mobility showed that the high mobility appeared above the threshold of the field strength with keeping the constant values. This indicates that the ions are orientated by the application of the electric field may be due to the dielectric polarization.
