Title: On the nanosecond proton dynamics in phosphoric acid–benzimidazole and phosphoric acid–water mixtures

Abstract

Combining1H-NMR,17O-NMR, and high-resolution backscattering QENS hydrodynamic and structural proton transport in phosphoric acid is separated. The rate limiting steps for structural proton diffusion in mixtures of acid with Brønsted bases are found to occur below the nanosecond timescale.
