Abstract

Novel liquid disiloxanes, containing an n-propylic spacer group between the disiloxane fragment and a cyclic or non-cyclic carbamate moiety, were synthesized and characterized as liquid electrolytes. The ionic conductivity, thermal properties, viscosity and relative permittivity of these new solvents have been investigated, taking into account steric factors.
