Abstract

Understanding the molecular level connection between ion mobility and diffusion is at the heart of understanding electrolyte behavior. NMR (including MRI) offers a suite of tools to measure non-invasively self-diffusion, mutual diffusion, flow and electrophoretic mobility. This chapter presents some of the basic concepts related to translational motion of ions in primarily solution environments, how they can be measured using magnetic resonance techniques and how they relate to such pertinent properties as conductivity and ion transference numbers. Consideration is also given to the experimental limitations.
