Pentamethylcyclopentasiloxanes (D5H) with oligo(ethylene glycol) substituents, D5N3 and D5S3, anda short-chain siloxane derivative MD6N3M were synthesized by B(C6F5)3-catalyzed dehydrogenativecoupling and by platinum-catalyzed hydrosilylation reactions. Conductivities were studied when dopedwith lithium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI). The oxygen-linked cyclic siloxane D5N3 exhibitshigher conductivity than trimethylene-linked siloxane D5S3. The substituted linear oligmeric siloxaneMD6N3M has a lower Tg than the D5 siloxanes, and showed much higher conductivity at the same Li+concentration. The curvature of the plot of conductivity vs temperature dependence indicates a free volumemechanism of ion transport.
