Poly(ethylene oxide) Complexes of Lead Halides: New Polymeric Conductors of Pb2+

Abstract
Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) easily forms complexes with , , and . Cmpositions over the range of , , and have been prepared by a two‐solvent technique in which PEO is dissolved in acetonitrile and the salt is dissolved in dimethylsulfoxide. The lead halide complexes are stable to nearly 300°C and are quite conductive. , for example, has an ionic conductivity of 10−6–10−7 (Ω‐cm)−1 at 180°C and in the range of 10−5 (Ω‐cm)−1 at 250°C. Preliminary transport number measurements have shown that is a reasonably good conductor of Pb2+.
