Abstract
Conductance measurements at 25°C have been carried out on Pr4NBr, Bu4NBr,n-Pe4NPr, Pr4NI, Bu4NI,n-Pe4NI, Bu4NClO4, Bu4NBF4, and Bu4PClO4 in isobutyl alcohol and on Bu4NBr and Bu4NClO4 in isopentyl alcohol. The main purpose of the measurements was to investigate the effect of increased branching in the alkyl portion of the alcohol on both ionic mobilities and ionic association. Comparison is made with the two isodielectric solvents butanone andn-butyl alcohol. Branching appears to produce little change in ionic mobilities and approximately a 10% increase in association.
