1-乙基-3-甲基咪唑四氟硼酸盐离子液体的量子化学研究

The results of the quantum chemistry study of the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (EMIM+BF4-) were reported. The ab initio method and density functional theory (B3LYP method) was used to optimize the stable structure of the gas phase ion pair at the level of 6-311++G** basis set, respectively. An IR spectra for EMIM+BF4- were obtained through the vibrational analysis. The changes of atomic charge assignments have been investigated using the Natural Bond Orbital method. The computational results show that there exist hydrogen bonds and other weak interactions between the cation and the anion. Using counterpoise correction method to estimate the basis set superposition error, the interaction energy between the cation and anion is 346.78 kJ/mol.     

The performance of 1‐ethyl‐3‐methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ionic liquid as mobile phase additive in HPLC‐based lipophilicity assessment

Ionic liquids have been widely used as green alternative mobile phase additives to shield the residuals silanols groups and modify the stationary/mobile phase HPLC systems. The present study aimed to evaluate the performance of the ionic liquid 1‐ethyl‐3‐methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([EMIM][BF4]) in producing extrapolated logk_w indices suitable to substitute for octanol–water logP or logD values. The effect of [EMIM][BF4] was investigated for a set of basic and neutral drugs using two different columns, BDS and ABZ⁺. [EMIM][BF4] was added simply alone or in combination with n‐octanol and was compared with the conventional masking agent n‐decylamine. [EMIM][BF4] reduced the retention by suppressing silanophilic interactions, althoug to a lower extent than n‐decylamine. Addition of n‐octanol further decreased the retention by shielding silanol sites on BDS and/or interacting with polar groups through hydrogen bonding on ABZ⁺. Logk_w/logD_7.4 relationships proved moderate compared with those derived upon addition of n‐decylamine. They were considerably improved upon the introduction of protonated fraction F⁺ in the correlation, reflecting ion pair formation between the chaotropic anion [BF4]^‐ and the protonated basic compounds. In this aspect, the ionic liquid [EMIM][BF4], although efficient as a masking agent, cannot be recommended as mobile phase additive to reproduce octanol–water partitioning.

Temperature dependence of the microstructure of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate in aqueous solution

Many applications of ionic liquids (ILs) are closely related with their microstructure in mixtures. For example, morphology and pore size of the MCM-41 prepared in aqueous ILs are greatly dependent on the aggregation behavior of the ILs in water. Therefore, the study on the microstructure of ILs in aqueous solutions is of great importance. In this work, ¹H NMR, dynamic light scattering and attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy have been used to investigate the temperature effect on the structures of aqueous 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([C₄mim][BF₄]) solutions. It was shown that the size of the IL aggregates becomes larger with decreasing temperature. When the system temperature is below the upper critical solution temperature (UCST) of the binary mixture at about 4 °C, the aggregate size of the IL is larger than 1000 nm. Additionally, the two-dimensional IR results reveal that at low IL concentrations, H₂O can interact with [BF₄]⁻ prior to the CH groups of the imidazolium ring, whereas cation and anion of the IL tend to form aggregate at high IL concentrations. With the decrease of temperature, the interactions between cation and anion of the IL become stronger, but those between the IL and water become weaker, thereby resulting in the growth of the aggregate of cation with anion of the IL. This result may give a reasonable explanation for the origin of the UCST behavior of aqueous [C₄mim][BF₄] solution.     

Molecular interactions in methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ionic liquid ([Mim][BF4]): Structures, binding energies, topological properties and NMR one- and two bonds spin-spin coupling constants

Molecular interactions in methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ionic liquid ([Mim⁺][BF₄⁻]) have been investigated using B3LYP, B3PW91 and MP2 methods with a wide range of basis sets. Binding energy, topological properties of electron density, charge transfer, nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS) and NMR one- and two bonds spin-spin coupling constants were calculated. With five preferential binding sites in the vicinity of the Mim⁺ ring, five ion pairs (A-E) with three intermolecular hydrogen bonds were found on the potential energy surface. The most stable ion pairs are formed via N-H and C-H bonds of Mim⁺ and B-F bonds of BF₄⁻. Ion pairs have electronic binding energies (BEs) in the range of − 335.6 to − 402.9 kJ/mol at MP2/6-311++G(2d,2p) level and − 328.1 to − 383.6 kJ/mol at B3LYP/AUG-cc-pVTZ level. NBO analysis confirms that the charge transfer takes place from BF₄⁻ to Mim⁺. The NICS values reveal the aromaticity of imidazole ring. The results show a correlation between absolute value of ^1hJ(H?F) and electron density at H?F bond critical point.

Evidence of change in the molecular organization of 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ionic liquid solutions with the addition of water

Physico-chemical properties of ionic liquids like density, viscosity, conductivity, surface tension and excess molar volume are strongly dependent on their concentration in aqueous solutions. 1-n-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate/water solutions, at 25 °C, shows two clearly distinguished behaviors, corresponding to a water-rich and a salt-rich region, with distinct physico-chemical properties. It is shown that [BMIm][BF₄] exhibits surfactant properties. The results obtained are discussed in terms of the interactions between cations and anions of the ionic liquid and the water molecule. IR studies show that the addition of water modifies the organization of the ionic liquid molecules. The data collection reported is helpful for a variety of different technological applications and in particular for electrochemical applications, as capacitors, batteries and fuel cells among others.

Synthesis,structure, and properties of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(nitramino)phthalimide

N-(Nitramino)phthalimide R₂N-NHNO₂ (R₂NH is phthalimide) was synthesized by nitration of N-aminophthalimide with nitronium tetrafluoroborate. The structure of this compound was established by X-ray diffraction and confirmed by ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁴N NMR spectroscopy. The methylation of this compound with diazomethane affords a mixture of N-methyl (R₂N-NMeNO₂) and O-methyl (R₂N-N=N(O)OMe) isomers. The latter compound contains the previously unknown high-nitrogen-oxygen fragment. The thermal decomposition of N-(nitramino)phthalimide in vacuo at 80–100 °C gives 2H-3,1-benzoxazine-2,4(1H)-dione (isatoic anhydride) as the major product.

Molecular dynamics and conduction mechanism of poly(vinyl chloride-co-vinyl acetate-co-2-hydroxypropyl acrylate) terpolymer containing ionic liquid

Dielectric spectroscopy (DS) measurements were performed to probe the segmental dynamics and ion mobility of poly(vinyl chloride-co-vinyl acetate-co-2-hydroxypropyl acrylate) terpolymer dopped with different amounts of tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate ([TBA] [BF₄]) ionic liquid (IL). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was also employed to trace the change in the glass transition temperature (T_g) at different loads of IL. The DSC measurements revealed a remarkable reduction in the PVVH T_g from 344 to 310 K just by adding 20 wt% of IL. The DS measurements revealed three relaxation processes named α, β₁, and β₂. The α-process is related to the segmental motion of PVVH while the β₁ and β₂ are due to the restricted local dynamics of side chains. The segmental relaxation times (α-relaxation) speed up with increasing the concentration of IL due to the plasticization effect of IL on polymer chains. The temperature dependence of α-relaxation follows the Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann (VFT) relation with dynamic glass transition between 323 and 294 K in agreement with the DSC measurements. The β₁ and β₂-relaxations have an Arrhenius temperature dependence. The temperature dependence of ionic conductivity obeys the VFT behavior indicating the coupling between the segmental motion of PVVH chains and ion transport. Polaronic tunneling is the predominant conduction mechanism in PVVH and its composites. The specific capacitance increases with increasing both the temperature and IL concentration.
