Abstract
Chlorine-35 is among the few nuclides that provide an experimental handle on the anion dynamics in choline based deep eutectic solvents. By combining several nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques, the present work examines the Cl- motions within glyceline, a glycerol : choline chloride 2 : 1 solution, in a large temperature range down to the glass transition temperature Tg. The applied methods include spin relaxometry, second-order line shape analysis, as well as two-dimensional central-transition exchange and stimulated-echo spectroscopy. The finding of unstructured central-transition NMR spectra characterized by a relatively small average quadrupolar coupling attests to a highly disordered, essentially nondirectional anionic coordination in glyceline. For temperatures larger than about 1.3Tg the chlorine motions are well coupled to those of the glycerol and the choline moieties. At lower temperatures the local translational anion dynamics become Arrhenian and increasingly faster than the motion of glyceline's matrix molecules. Upon further cooling, the overall ionic conductivity continues to display a super-Arrhenius behavior, implying that the choline cations rather than the Cl anions dominate the long-range charge transport also near Tg.

Abstract
Solvated in propylene carbonate, viscous phenol is studied using dielectric spectroscopy and shear rheology. In addition, several oxygen-17 and deuteron nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques are applied to specifically isotope labeled equimolar mixtures. Quantum chemical calculations are used to check the electrical field gradient at phenol's oxygen site. The chosen combination of NMR methods facilitates the selective examination of potentially hydrogen-bond related contributions as well as those dominated by the structural relaxation. Taken together the present results for phenol in equimolar mixtures with the van der Waals liquid propylene carbonate provide evidence for the existence of a very weak Debye-like process that originates from ringlike supramolecular associates.

Abstract
In this work, trimethoxyboroxine (TMB) is identified as a small-molecule glass former. In its viscous liquid as well as glassy states, static and dynamic properties of TMB are explored using various techniques. It is found that, on average, the structure of the condensed TMB molecules deviates from threefold symmetry so that TMB's electric dipole moment is nonzero, thus rendering broadband dielectric spectroscopy applicable. This method reveals the super-Arrhenius dynamics that characterizes TMB above its glass transition, which occurs at about 204 K. To extend the temperature range in which the molecular dynamics can be studied, 11B nuclear magnetic resonance experiments are additionally carried out on rotating and stationary samples: Exploiting dynamic second-order shifts, spin-relaxation times, line shape effects, as well as stimulated-echo and two-dimensional exchange spectroscopy, a coherent picture regarding the dynamics of this glass former is gained.

Abstract
The glass transition and physical aging processes of poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) were studied by variable-temperature Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and (13)C solid-state NMR spectroscopy. The glass transition temperature (T(g)) of PLLA can be well determined from the temperature-dependent FTIR intensity. Nearby T(g), a distinct change in the slope of spectral intensity versus temperature plot is detected. FTIR results suggest that the energy-favorable gauche-trans (gt) conformers rearrange into the less energy-favorable gauche-gauche (gg) counterparts with heating over the glass transition region, which becomes more distinct at temperature above T(g). Besides, the 1267 cm(-1) band, which shows different trends of variation from the other bands upon heating, was assigned to be more sensitive to the nu(as)(C-O-C)+delta(CH) vibration mode of the less energy-favorable gg conformers in PLLA. By comparing the FTIR spectra of the aged and deaged PLLA, it was demonstrated that the rearrangement from the high- to low-energy conformers, i.e., gg to gt, occurs with physical aging. (13)C spin-lattice relaxation measurements indicate that the relaxation rate distribution broadens with aging, which agrees with the previous suggestion that the locally ordered domains are formed during physical aging. Because of the larger variation in the conformational state and microstructure, the FTIR intensities vary much more abruptly for the aged sample with heating to nearby T(g).

Abstract
We use 2H NMR stimulated-echo spectroscopy to measure two-time correlation functions characterizing the polymer segmental motion in polymer electrolytes PPO-LiClO4 near the glass transition temperature Tg. To investigate effects of the salt on the polymer dynamics, we compare results for different ether oxygen to lithium ratios, namely, 6:1, 15:1, 30:1, and infinity. For all compositions, we find nonexponential correlation functions, which can be described by a Kohlrausch function. The mean correlation times show quantitatively that an increase of the salt concentration results in a strong slowing down of the segmental motion. Consistently, for the high 6:1 salt concentration, a high apparent activation energy Ea=4.1 eV characterizes the temperature dependence of the mean correlation times at Tg<T<or approximately 1.1Tg, while smaller values Ea approximately 2.5 eV are observed for moderate salt contents. The correlation functions are most nonexponential for 15:1 PPO-LiClO4 whereas the stretching is reduced for higher and lower salt concentrations. This finding implies that the local environments of the polymer segments are most diverse for intermediate salt contents, and, hence, the spatial distribution of the salt is most heterogeneous. To study the mechanisms of the segmental reorientation, we exploit that the angular resolution of 2H NMR stimulated-echo experiments depends on the length of the evolution time tp. A similar dependence of the correlation functions on the value of tp in the presence and in the absence of ions indicates that addition of salt hardly affects the reorientational mechanism. For all compositions, mean jump angles of about 15 degrees characterize the segmental reorientation. In addition, comparison of results from 2H and 7Li NMR stimulated-echo experiments suggests a coupling of ion and polymer dynamics in 15:1 PPO-LiClO4.

Abstract
We investigate ion and polymer dynamics in polymer electrolytes PPO-LiClO4 performing 2H and 7Li NMR line-shape analysis. Comparison of temperature dependent 7Li and 2H NMR spectra gives evidence for a coupling of ion and polymer dynamics. 2H NMR spectra for various salt concentrations reveal a strong slowdown of the polymer segmental motion when the salt content is increased. The 2H NMR line shape further indicates that the segmental motion is governed by dynamical heterogeneities. While the width of the distribution of correlation times G(log tau) is moderate for low and high salt content, an extremely broad distribution exists for an intermediate salt concentration of 15:1 PPO-LiClO4. For the latter composition, a weighted superposition of two spectral components, reflecting the fast and the slow polymer segments of the distribution, describes the 2H NMR line shape over a broad temperature range. Analysis of the temperature dependent relative intensity of both spectral components indicates the existence of a continuous rather than a discontinuous distribution G(log tau). Such continuous distribution is consistent with gradual fluctuations of the local salt concentration and, hence, of the local environments of the polymer segments, whereas it is at variance with the existence of large salt-depleted and salt-rich domains featuring fast and slow polymer dynamics, respectively. Finally, for all studied PPO-LiClO4 mixtures, the 2H NMR line shape strongly depends on the echo delay in the applied echo-pulse sequence, indicating that the structural relaxation of the polymer segments involves successive rotational jumps about small angles gamma < 20 degrees .
