[C4mim][PF6]和[C4mim][NTf2]离子液体辐射诱导的相行为及荧光行为变化

离子液体因其低挥发性, 高热稳定性及优良的萃取性能被认为是萃取分离放射性核素的新一代绿色溶剂, 而研究离子液体本身的辐射效应是其实际应用的重要前提. 本文以60Co为辐射源, 系统研究了γ辐照对两种常见的憎水性咪唑离子液体1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑六氟磷酸盐([C4mim][PF6])和1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑三氟甲基磺酰胺酸盐([C4mim][NTf2])的相行为及荧光行为的影响. 在相行为方面, γ辐照使离子液体的结晶驰豫时间增加, 导致其低温结晶延迟. 在荧光行为方面, γ辐照后离子液体的荧光光谱保持原有的“红边效应(red edge effect)”, 但随吸收剂量增加, 光谱整体发生红移(最大移动幅度达150 nm). 并且这种“红边效应”在辐照后离子液体的乙腈稀释剂中仍然存在, 且随稀释倍数增加光谱整体发生蓝移. [C4mim][PF6]和[C4mim][NTf2]离子液体辐照后的这种相行为及荧光行为的变化可归因于辐照对其阴阳离子空间相关性(缔合行为)的影响.

过渡金属离子液体[C2mim][FeCl4]的溶解热

在干燥氩气氛下, 用等摩尔的高纯无水FeCl3和氯化1-甲基-3-乙基咪唑([C2mim][Cl])直接搅拌混合, 制备棕色透明的含过渡金属铁的离子液体[C2mim][FeCl4]. 在298.15 K下, 利用具有恒温环境的溶解反应热量计测定了这种离子液体的摩尔溶解焓(ΔsHm). 针对[C2mim][FeCl4]溶解于水后即分解的特点, 在Pitzer电解质溶液理论基础上, 提出了确定这种离子液体标准摩尔溶解焓的新方法, 得到了[C2mim][FeCl4]的标准摩尔溶解焓(ΔsH 0—m=-76.6 kJ/mol), 以及Pitzer焓参数组合: β(0)LFe,Cl+β(0)L[C2mim], Cl+ΦLFe,[C2mim]=0.072209和β(1)LFe,Cl+β(1)L[C2mim], Cl=0.15527. 借助热力学循环和Glasser离子液体晶格能理论, 用Fe3+, Cl-和[C2mim]+的离子水化焓数据以及[C2mim][FeCl4]标准摩尔溶解焓, 估算得到了配离子[FeCl4]-(g)解离成Fe3+(g)和4Cl-(g)的解离焓为5659 kJ/mol. 这个结果揭示了离子液体[C2mim][FeCl4]的标准摩尔溶解焓绝对值并不很大的原因, 即很大的离子水化焓被很大的[FeCl4]-(g)的解离焓相互抵消.

Radiation-induced darkening of ionic liquid [C4mim][NTf2] and its decoloration

The radiation effect on a hydrophobic room-temperature ionic liquid (RTIL), 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imide ([C₄mim][NTf₂]), was studied by γ-irradiation under nitrogen atmosphere. Accompanied by color darkening and increase of light absorbance in a wide wavelength range, a distinct absorption peak at around 290 nm for irradiated [C₄mim][NTf₂] appeared when acetonitrile was used as solvent, and the intensity of the peak enhanced with increasing dose. The spectrophotometric study on the irradiated RTILs containing 1,3-dialkylimidazolium cations associated with different inorganic anions revealed that the peak is ascribed to the radiolysis products of the [C₄mim]⁺. And the wavelength of the peak was affected by alkyl chain length on imidazolium cation, while the intensity of the peak was influenced by anions. With incorporating a little amounts of oxidants, such as KMnO₄ and HNO₃ into irradiated [C₄mim][NTf₂], the intensity of the peak at 290 nm decreased obviously and the decoloration of [C₄mim][NTf₂] occurred, suggesting that the peak at 290 nm is assigned to the colored species and the species can be oxidized.     

Ionic Association of the Ionic Liquids [C4mim][BF4], [C4mim][PF6], and [Cnmim]Br in Molecular Solvents

Considering the ionic nature of ionic liquids (ILs), ionic association is expected to be essential in solutions of ILs and to have an important influence on their applications. Although numerous studies have been reported for the ionic association behavior of ILs in solution, quantitative results are quite scarce. Herein, the conductivities of the ILs [C_nmim]Br (n=4, 6, 8, 10, 12), [C₄mim][BF₄], and [C₄mim][PF₆] in various molecular solvents (water, methanol, 1‐propanol, 1‐pentanol, acetonitrile, and acetone) are determined at 298.15 K as a function of IL concentration. The conductance data are analyzed by the Lee–Wheaton conductivity equation in terms of the ionic association constant (K_A) and the limiting molar conductance (Λ_m⁰). Combined with the values for the Br^? anion reported in the literature, the limiting molar conductivities and the transference numbers of the cations and [BF₄]^? and [PF₆]^? anions are calculated in the molecular solvents. It is shown that the alkyl chain length of the cations and type of anion affect the ionic association constants and limiting molar conductivities of the ILs. For a given anion (Br^?), the Λ_m⁰ values decrease with increasing alkyl chain length of the cations in all the molecular solvents, whereas the K_A values of the ILs decrease in organic solvents but increase in water as the alkyl chain length of the cations increases. For the [C₄mim]⁺ cation, the limiting molar conductivities of the ILs decrease in the order Br^?>[BF₄]^?>[PF₆]^?, and their ionic association constants follow the order [BF₄]^?>[PF₆]^?>Br^? in water, acetone, and acetonitrile. Furthermore, and similar to the classical electrolytes, a linear relationship is observed between ln K_A of the ILs and the reciprocal of the dielectric constants of the molecular solvents. The ILs are solvated to a different extent by the molecular solvents, and ionic association is affected significantly by ionic solvation. This information is expected to be useful for the modulation of the IL conductance by the alkyl chain length of the cations, type of anion, and physical properties of the molecular solvents.     

Thermomorphic Behavior of the Ionic Liquids [C4mim][FeCl4] and [C12mim][FeCl4]

The iron‐containing ionic liquids 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium tetrachloroferrate(III) [C₄mim][FeCl₄] and 1‐dodecyl‐3‐methylimidazolium tetrachloroferrate(III) [C₁₂mim][FeCl₄] exhibit a thermally induced demixing with water (thermomorphism). The phase separation temperature varies with IL weight fraction in water and can be tuned between 100 °C and room temperature. The reversible lower critical solution temperature (LCST) is only observed at IL weight fractions below ca. 35 % in water. UV/Vis, IR, and Raman spectroscopy along with elemental analysis prove that the yellow‐brown liquid phase recovered after phase separation is the starting IL [C₄mim][FeCl₄] and [C₁₂mim][FeCl₄], respectively. Photometry and ICP‐OES show that about 40 % of iron remains in the water phase upon phase separation. Although the process is thus not very efficient at the moment, the current approach is the first example of an LCST behavior of a metal‐containing IL and therefore, although still inefficient, a prototype for catalyst removal or metal extraction.     

Conductivities, volumes, fluorescence, and aggregation behavior of ionic liquids [C4mim][BF4] and [C(n)mim]Br (n = 4, 6, 8, 10, 12) in aqueous solutions

Densities, conductivities, and polarity indexes of pyrene for aqueous solutions of a series of ionic liquids [C(n)mim]Br (n = 4, 6, 8, 10, 12) and [C4mim][BF4] have been determined at 298.15 K as a function of ionic liquid concentrations. It was shown that possible aggregation appeared for the ionic liquids in aqueous solutions except for [C4mim]Br. The critical aggregation concentration (CAC) of the ionic liquids, the ionization degree of aggregates (beta), the standard Gibbs energy of aggregation (Delta G(m)(o)), the limiting molar conductivity (Lambda(m)(o)), and the standard partial molar volume (V(m)(o)) for the ionic liquids were derived from the experimental data. The dependence of the CAC, Delta G(m)(o), Lambda(m)(o), and V(m)(o) on the length of the alkyl chain of the cations was examined. It was further suggested from volumetric data that a micelle was formed for [C8mim]Br, [C10mim]Br, and [C12mim]Br in aqueous solutions. Their apparent molar volumes at the critical micelle concentration (V Phi,CMC), apparent molar volumes in the micelle phase (V(Phi)(mic)), and the change of their apparent molar volume upon micellization (Delta V Phi,m) were calculated by application of the pseudophase model of micellization. In addition, the average aggregation number of [C(n)mim]Br (n = 8, 10, 12) has been determined by the steady-state fluorescence quenching technique, and predicted from a simple geometrical mode. It is found that the experimental values are in good agreement with the predicted ones.     

Aggregation of ionic liquids [C(n)mim]Br (n = 4, 6, 8, 10, 12) in D2O: a NMR study

Aqueous solutions of five ionic liquids (ILs) of the 1-n-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide family, [C(n)mim]Br (n = 4, 6, 8, 10, 12), were investigated by NMR measurements at 298.2 K as a function of IL concentrations. Critical aggregation concentrations and aggregation numbers of these ILs were determined by 1H NMR except for [C4mim]Br in D2O. The effects of the alkyl chain length of the cations were examined on the aggregation behavior of the ILs. 1H NMR data of the solvent D2O were used to investigate the hydration of the ILs in D2O, and it was found that the ionic hydration and the cation-anion association or aggregation of the ILs offset each other. The microenvironment of different protons of cations of the ILs in the aggregates was probed by determining the spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T1). It is suggested that the imidazolium rings in the aggregates are exposed to water and that the molecular motion of the aggregates is more restricted than that of the monomers of the ILs. Furthermore, a stair-like microscopic aggregation structure is suggested for the [C(n)mim]Br/D2O (n = 6, 8, 10) systems from 2-D 1H-1H NOESY measurements.     

The surface tension,density and refractive index of amino acid ionic liquids: [C3mim][Gly] and [C4mim][Gly]

The amino acid ionic liquids (AAILs) [C₃mim][Gly] (1-propyl-3-methylimidazolium glycine) and [C₄mim][Gly] (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium glycine) have been prepared by the neutralization method and characterized by ¹H NMR spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The values of their density, surface tension and refractive index were measured at different temperatures. Since the AAILs can form strong hydrogen bonds with water, small amounts of water are difficult to remove from the AAILs by common methods. In order to eliminate the effect of the impurity as water, the standard addition method (SAM) was applied to these measurements. The values of thermal expansion coefficients, α, surface excess energy, E_a, surface excess entropy, S_a, and molar refraction, R_m, for the AAILs were determined.     

Effect of the aliphatic chain length on electrical double layer formation at the liquid/vacuum interface in the [C(n)mim][BF4] ionic liquid series

Neutral impact collision ion scattering spectroscopy (NICISS) was used to determine the surface structure of three ionic liquids, 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium [C(6)mim], 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium [C(8)mim], 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium [C(10)mim] tetrafluoroborates [BF(4)]. Concentration depth profiles of the elements in an ionic liquid (IL) homologous series with a common anion were obtained. We show that separation between the oppositely charged ions is seen for all three ionic liquids, resulting in an electrical double layer formation. The surface charge shifts from more positive to more negative with increasing aliphatic chain length.     

Nanostructural organization and anion effects on the temperature dependence of the optical Kerr effect spectra of ionic liquids

The intermolecular spectra of three imidazolium ionic liquids were studied as a function of temperature by the use of optical heterodyne-detected Raman-induced Kerr effect spectroscopy. The ionic liquids comprise the 1,3-pentylmethylimidazolium cation ([C(5)mim]+), and the anions, bromide (Br-), hexafluorophosphate (PF(6)-), and bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (NTf(2)-). Whereas the optical Kerr effect (OKE) spectrum of [C(5)mim][NTf(2)] is temperature-dependent, the OKE spectra of [C(5)mim]Br and [C(5)mim][PF6] are temperature-independent. These results are surprising in light of the fact that the bulk densities of these room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) are temperature-dependent. The temperature independence of the OKE spectra and the temperature dependence of the bulk density in [C(5)mim]Br and [C(5)mim][PF(6)] suggest that there are inhomogeneities in the densities of these liquids. The existence of density inhomogeneities is consistent with recent molecular dynamics simulations that show RTILs to be nanostructurally organized with nonpolar regions arising from clustering of the alkyl chains and ionic networks arising from charge ordering of the anions and imidazolium rings of the cations. Differences in the temperature dependences of the OKE spectra are rationalized on the basis of the degree of charge ordering in the polar regions of the RTILs.
