Complex Impedance plots suggest the non-Debye nature of relaxing ions. The dc conductivity follows Arrhenius behavior and decreased with increase in PbO content because of increase of network forming PbO4 units, increases the network dimensionality and blocking the migration of mobile ions.","PeriodicalId":7262,"journal":{"name":"ADVANCES IN BASIC SCIENCE (ICABS 2019)","volume":"97 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85989197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its’ very low aqueous solubility can lead to facile accumulation in water or soil causing rapid poisoning of the environment. Therefore, elimination of HFM requires scavenging agents such as β-CD that can encapsulate HFM resulting in better aqueous solubility. A significant change in 19F and 1H NMR chemical shift, 1H & 19F longitudinal (T1) and 19F transverse relaxation (T2) time was observed for HFM in the presence of CD that confirms HFM-CD association.
