TL;DR: In this paper, the conductance of a glassy electrolyte of this class was studied as a function of temperature and frequency, and features such as curved Arrhenius plots and high-frequency dispersion were compared with similar observations in molten salt systems.
Abstract: Solid electrolytes formed by a formal partial substitution of iodide in AgI by a variety of oxoanions may be prepared in the vitreous state by fast-quenching from the melt. Such materials, with few exceptions, are metastable and undergo thermal transitions into poorly conducting phases below the melting point. The conductance of a glassy electrolyte of this class was studied as a function of temperature and frequency. Features such as curved Arrhenius plots and high-frequency dispersion are compared with similar observations in molten salt systems and the basis of such behavior is discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the preparation of suitable solid electrodes and cells, which may form the basis of a laboratory teaching program designed to illustrate a variety of electrochemical ideas.
Abstract: The novelty of carrying out experiments in the solid state gives students an added interest. This approach provides insight into an area of fundamental research and technological importance. The purpose of this paper is to describe the preparation of suitable solid electrodes and cells which may form the basis of a laboratory teaching program designed to illustrate a variety of electrochemical ideas.

TL;DR: In this article, an interesting base-salt equilibrium between pyrrole and dihydrodiazepinium perchlorate systems was observed, in high yield, a pyrrolodiazepine was found.
Abstract: Electrochemical reduction of 6-phenyldihydrodiazepinium perchlorate provides unexpectedly, in high yield, a pyrrolodiazepine; an interesting base–salt equilibrium between pyrrole and dihydrodiazepinium systems is observed.

TL;DR: In this article, the ionic components of the viscosity B-coefficients for a number of salts in formamide have been resolved using a correspondence technique based on ion entropies and by Krumgal'z method.
Abstract: Resolution into ionic components of the viscosity B-coefficients for a number of salts in formamide has shown good agreement between values obtained by a correspondence technique based on ion entropies and by Krumgal'z method, but poor correlation with values derived using the assumptions of Cox and Wolfenden.
