Norbornene-based polymerized ionic liquids (PILs) were systematically prepared to understand the role of PIL architecture and linker on the ionic conductivity(sigma(DC)), segmental dynamics, and dielectric constant. In PILs with two- or one-armed imidazolium (Im(+))-bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (Tf2N-) pendants, their dynamics and polarity were tuned by incorporating either oxyethylene [OCH2CH2)(x) = (OE)(x) = 1 or 3] or alkylene [(CH2)(2)] moieties as linkers between the norbornene and imidazolium cation moieties and ethyleneoxy [(CH2CH2O)(y) = (EO)(y), y = 2 or 3] terminal units on the imidazolium. All PILs exhibit three dipolar relaxations; the local chain beta motions of the PIL pendants were observed below the glass transition temperature (T-g), while above T-g, the segmental alpha and slower ionic rearranging alpha(2) relaxations were observed. Unlike the alkylene linker, the OE linker incorporation speeds up the alpha and alpha(2) relaxations (consistent with the decrease in T-g), increases the relaxation strengths [leading to an increase in the static and Coulombic dielectric constants (epsilon(s) and epsilon(C))], imparts a higher number density of simultaneously conducting ions (p), and boosts their mobility (mu). This is directly reflected in the OE-containing Pits having 10 times higher ionic conductivities (sigma(DC)) than the PIL with the alkylene linker. The T-g, epsilon(d), and sigma(DC) are significantly influenced by the repeat unit molecular volume (V-m), polarizability volume (V-p), and Keesom volume (V-K), suggesting that the OE linker not only facilitates ion dissociation of Im(+)Tf(2)N(-) but also promotes segmental motion, thereby leading to a strong correlation of ionic conductivity with the dielectric constant and glass transition temperature.
