Ionic Conductivity
What determines the conductivity of an ion in a
dilute electrolyte solution ?

• The forces acting on the ion can be divided into
  two type Short range force and the long range
  ion-dipole forces. The former can be related to
  viscosity via Stokes relation. The long range
  force part is the one which is responsible for
  the anomalous behavior of ionic conductance.
• ? Continuum models of Hubbard-Onsagar-Zwanzig
  neglected the molecularity.
• The theory of Calef and Wolynes treated the
  dipolar response as over damped, but emphasized
  the role of translational motion of the solvent
  molecules.

Consider the mobility of an ion in a dipolar
liquid, like water or acetonitrile

• The ionic mobility is determined by diffusion
  which in turn is determined by the friction on
  the ion, via Einstein relation.
• ? ?SR ?DF
• ? The classical theory ( Hubbard-Onsagar-Zwanzig
  ) finds that the friction on the ion, and hence
  the mobility, depends inversely on the Debye
  relaxation time ?D , which is the slowest time.
• This leads to the well-known law of Waldens
  product which states that the product of the
  limiting ionic conductivity (?0) of an
  electrolyte and the viscosity (?) is inversely
  proportional to the radius (rion) of the ion.

Ultrafast solvation and ionic mobility
Two kinds of friction Stokes friction (?0) and
Dielectric friction (?DF)
How to get ?DF ?
What determines ?DF ?
6
? All the earlier theoretical studies ignored the
ultrafast response of the dipolar solvents.
(Zwanzig, Hubbard-Wolynes, Felderhof .) ?
Theory however shows that they are important, in
two ways. First, they are reduce the friction on
the ion by allowing the relaxation of the force
on the ion. Second, they make the role of the
translational modes less important. ? What is
even more important is the relative role of
various ultrafast components.

Ultrafast solvation dynamics in water,
Acetonitrile and Methanol

• However, initial solvation dynamics in water and
  acetonitrile was found to be much faster. For
  water it is found to be less than 50 fs!!
• In addition, the ultrafast component carried
  about 60-70 of the total relaxation strength.
• Such an ultrafast component can play significant
  role in many chemical processes in water.
