Nmr and Polarization Microscopy Studies of Sodium Alkyl Carboxylate Solids and Melts
The dynamic structure of the ionic liquid crystalline mesophase of both sodium n-butyrate and sodium isovalerate is studied using pulsed and Fourier transform NMR. Both the ('1)H self-diffusion measurements and the ('23)Na spin-lattice relaxation time, T(,1), and quadrupole coupling constant,
