Results are presented from Brownian dynamics simulations and from experimental measurements of self-diffusion coefficients of monovalent ions in systems of oppositely charged polymers. The simulations were carried out in ordered and in random polyion systems. The ordered systems consisted of parallel straight chains on a square lattice, while in the other systems the straight polymer chains were randomly oriented. At low polymer concentrations there was good agreement between the results obtained in both types of systems. However, when the polyion concentration was increased, the ion diffusion was slower in the random than in the ordered systems. It is suggested that the observed results emanate from the distribution of interpolyion distances and the relative orientation of the chains present in the random systems. The interpretation is based on the transport in the bulk between the polyions as the rate-limiting process. The simulation data are in qualitative agreement with the experimental results. However; the experimental results also emphasize the importance of steric obstruction, which can be the dominant effect for large ions and in concentrated polyelectrolyte systems.
