Proton Conductivity in Lithium Sulfate Monohydrate and the Motion of its Water Molecule

Proton conductivity is established in lithium sulfate monohydrate by electrolysis.experiments in the solid state. This effect is discussed in relation to the large amplitude oscillations of the water molecule as evidenced by proton magnetic resonance measurements at different temperatures. The importance of unidirectional chainlike structure of hydrogen bonds in this substance is emphasized, and several implications of the proton conductivity are mentioned
