Prior to melting, the organic salt, P13BF4, transforms into a plastic crystal phase. Intrinsic conductivity in this solid, phase I (45–65 °C), is comparable to that in the melt (~10−3 S cm−1). Ionic motion and transport properties were investigated by 1H and 11B nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Pressure-induced plastic flow in this system may accommodate volume changes in device application and to this extent, X-ray diffraction (XRD) has been used. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed complex surface morphology and lattice imperfections associated with the strong orientational disorder of the plastic state.
