Abstract
A 1,2,3-triazolium-based poly(siloxane ionic liquid) (PSIL) is synthesized by UV-triggered thiol-ene ligation between a poly[(mercaptopropyl)methylsiloxane] and a tailor-made vinyl-functionalized triethylene glycol-based 1,2,3-triazolium ionic liquid. The quantitative nature of the thiol-ene coupling is demonstrated by 1H and 13C NMR, whereas properties of this new PSIL are discussed based on solubility, size exclusion chromatography, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and broadband dielectric spectroscopy measurements. Besides exhibiting low glass transition temperature (Tg = -62 °C) and high thermal stability (Td10 = 284 °C), this new class of poly(1,2,3-triazolium) demonstrates the highest value of bulk anhydrous ionic conductivity reported to date for PILs (σDC = 7 × 10-5 S cm-1 at 30 °C).
