Ambient temperature alkali glassy salt mixtures, x[AlCl{sub 3}]/(1 - x)[NaN(CN){sub 2}] (x = 0.4-0.75), were prepared. A large increase in the C{triple_bond}N stretching frequencies for these materials indicate complex formation between the anion [N(CN){sub 2}]{sup -} and AlCl{sub 3} molecule. Ab initio calculations confirm the assignments of the vibrational frequencies. The 1:1 adduct has a glass transition at 27 {sup o}C, and the glassy state persists for 4 weeks at room temperature. The room temperature ionic conductivity of this glass is 6.6 x 10{sup -6} S/cm, and it increases as the AlCl{sub 3} content increases. The temperature dependence of the conductivity follows the Vogel-Tamman-Fulcher equation, suggesting that ion transport is coupled to local motion in the glassy salt mixture system.
