abstract = {The microscopic diffusion and the low frequency density of
states (VDOS) of PIM-EA-TB(CH3) are investigated by
inelastic and quasi-elastic neutron scattering where also
the demethylated counterpart of PIM-EA-TB(H2) is considered.
These intrinsic microporous polymers are characterized by
large BET surface area values of several hundred m2/g and
pore sizes between 0.5 and 2 nm. Detailed comparison is made
to the archetype of polymers of intrinsic microporosity,
PIM-1, and polynorbornenes also bearing a microporosity. Due
to the wavelength of neutrons, the diffusion and vibrations
can be addressed on microscopic length and time scales. From
the inelastic neutron scattering experiments the low
frequency density of states (VDOS) is estimated which shows
excess contributions to the Debye-type VDOS known as Boson
peak. It was found that the maximum frequency of the Boson
peak decreases with increasing microporosity characterized
by the BET surface area. However, besides the BET surface
area, additional factors such as the backbone stiffness
govern the maximum frequency of the Boson peak. Further the
mean squared displacement related to microscopic motions was
estimated from elastic fixed window scans. At temperatures
above 175 K, the mean squared displacement PIM-EA-TB(CH3) is
higher than that for the demethylated counterpart
PIM-EA-TB(H2). The additional contribution found for
PIM-EA-TB(CH3) is ascribed to the rotation of the methyl
group in this polymer because the only difference between
the two structures is that PIM-EA-TB(CH3) has methyl groups
where PIM-EA-TB(H2) has none. A detailed comparison of the
molecular dynamics is also made to that of PIM-1 and the
microporous polynorbornene PTCNSi1. The manuscript focuses
on the importance of vibrations and the localized molecular
mobility characterized by the microscopic diffusion on the
gas transport in polymeric separation membranes. In the
frame of the random gate model localized fluctuations can
open or close bottlenecks between pores to enable the
diffusion of gas molecules.},
