Since varying the counter anion in a metal-ligand complex can yield distinct coordination strength and lifetime, a series of Li + coordinated PDMS with different anion species is synthe-sized to study the influence of counter ions on ionic conductivity. Another three Li salts, lithium chloride (LiCl), lithium tetrafluoroborate (LiBF 4 ), and lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSi) are added into the ligand functionalized PDMS at the same 1:1 molar ratio (LiCl, LiBF 4 , and LiTFSi, respectively), which show distinct solubilities after rigorous mixing.
