Polyelectrolyte complexes, PECs, are spontaneously formed blends of polyelectrolytes bearing positive, Pol(+), and negative, Pol(-), repeat units. Many interesting PEC morphologies have been observed, ranging from dense precipitates to liquidlike coacervates to quasi-stable nanoparticles, depending on the identity of the polymers and the preparation conditions. While the number of polyelectrolytes available to synthesize these materials is large and increasing, the corresponding number of Pol(+)/Por(-) combinations is vast. This work quantitatively compares the binding strengths between a selection of positive and negative polyelectrolytes by evaluating the extent to which ion pairs between them are broken by a common salt, KBr. Comparison of association constants or Gibbs free energies between different classes of ionic functionality reveals that more hydrophilic PECs are more weakly associated, small primary amines bind strongly, carboxylates bind weakly, and aromatic sulfonates interact more strongly than aliphatic ones. The use of charge density to predict binding strength is shown not to be justified. Ion diffusion coefficients through PECs also approximately follow water content and are inversely related to interaction strength.
