Abstract
Electrical conductivity (σ), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements of n-C xH(2x+1)OSO3Li (x= 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20) crystals were performed as a function of temperature. In addition, σ, DSC, and XRD observations of n-C xH(2x+1)OSO3Na and n-C xH(2x+1)OSO3K (x= 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20) crystals were carried out for comparison. DSC results of the salts revealed several solid-solid phase transitions with large entropy changes (ΔS). For n-C 18H37OSO3Li and n-C 20H41OSO3Li salts, each melting point produced a small ΔSmp value compared with the total entropy change in the solid phases (ΔStr1+ΔStr2). Additionally, Li + ion diffusion was detected in the highest temperature solid phases. For K salts, larger σ values were detected for potassium alkylsulfates compared with those reported for alkyl carboxylate. 7Li NMR spectra of n-C 18H37OSO3Li crystals recorded in the low-temperature phase showed large asymmetry parameters, suggesting the Li + ions are localized at asymmetric sites in the crystals.
