Self-diffusion coefficient measurements were performed for pure -alkyl ketone liquids using the pulsed field gradient NMR spin-echo technique. Ionic conductivities and dielectric constants of 0.0055 mol·L tetrabutylammonium trifluoromethanesulfonate in 2-pentanone, 2-hexanone, 2-heptanone, 2-octanone, 2-nonanone, and 2-decanone were also measured.

The Nernst-Einstein equation does not adequately describe the data. Instead, the compensated Arrhenius formalism is applied to both conductivity and diffusion data.

Specifically, the molecular and system parameters governing transport are the molecular dipole moment μ and the solvent dipole density N. The compensated Arrhenius formalism (CAF) writes the temperature-dependent ionic conductivity or diffusion coefficient as an Arrhenius-like expression that also includes a static dielectric constant (ε(s)) dependence in the exponential prefactor.

Self-diffusion coefficients and static dielectric constants of pure acetates were obtained over the same temperature range.

This paper assigns characteristic NH(2)(+) group frequencies between approximately 2500 and 2400 cm(-1). Crystal structures of four diamine salts are reported here.
