Electrode screening by ionic liquids

In this work we are concerned with the short-range screening provided by the ionic liquid dimethylimidazolium chloride near a charged wall. We study the free energy profiles (or potentials of mean force) for charged and neutral solutes as a function of distance from a charged wall. Four different wall charge densities are used in addition to a wall with zero charge. The highest magnitude of the charge densities is ±1 e nm(-2) which is close to the maximum limit of charge densities accessible in experiments, while the intermediate charges ±0.5 e nm(-2) are in the range of densities typically used in most of the experimental studies. Positively and negatively charged solutes of approximately the size of a BF ion and a Cl(-) ion are used as probes. We find that the ionic liquid provides excellent electrostatic screening at a distance of 1-2 nm. The free energy profiles show minima which are due to layering in the ionic liquid near the electrodes. This indicates that the solute ions tend to displace ionic liquid ions in the layers when approaching the electrode. The important role of non-electrostatic forces is demonstrated by the oscillations in the free energy profiles of uncharged solutes as a function of distance from the wall.     

Hydrolysis of chitosan under microwave irradiation in ionic liquids promoted by sulfonic acid-functionalized ionic liquids

Hydrolysis of chitosan in ionic liquids was carried out under microwave irradiation (MW) using sulfonic acid-functionalized ionic liquids (SFILs) as catalysts. The effect of microwave power, irradiation time, dosage of SFILs and DMSO was investigated by orthogonal tests. Under the optimal reaction conditions, the yield of total reducing sugars (TRS) reached over 90% within 2 min. The viscosity-average molecular weight of degraded chitosan was determined by viscosity method. The structures of the original and degraded chitosan were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (¹³C NMR). The influence of microwave power and irradiation time on the TRS and M_v was further studied. This method can dramatically reduce reaction time.     

Cooperative nucleophilic-electrophilic organocatalysis by ionic liquids

The anionic and the cationic partners of ionic liquids may act cooperatively and independently as nucleophilic and electrophilic catalysts. This ambiphilic propensity was demonstrated by kinetically discriminating the contributions of the anion (nucleophilic catalyst) and of the cation (electrophilic catalyst) to the solvent-free Baylis-Hillman dimerization of cyclohexenone catalysed by ionic liquids.     

The effect of ring size on the gas phase elimination kinetics of cycloalkyl acetates

The rates of elimination of seven cycloalkyl acetates containing between 5 and 15 ring carbons have been determined in a static system over a temperature range 280–370°C and a pressure range 35–234 torr. The unimolecular reactions, carried out in the presence of the inhibitor cyclohexene, are homogeneous in seasoned vessels and follow a first-order rate law. The rate coefficients are exemplified by that found for cyclopentyl acetate: The sequence of relative rates is analogous to that found in most solution reactions of these compounds. The contribution of ring strain to energy barriers of these compounds is described.     

Cooperativity in ionic liquids

Cooperativity in ionic liquids is investigated by means of static quantum chemical calculations. Larger clusters of the dimethylimidazolium cation paired with a chloride anion are calculated within density functional theory combined with gradient corrected functionals. Tests of the monomer unit show that density functional theory performs reasonably well. Linear chain and ring aggregates have been considered and geometries are found to be comparable with liquid phase structures. Cooperative effects occur when the total energy of the oligomer differs from a simple sum of monomer energies. Cooperative effects have been found in the structural motifs examined. A systematic study of linear chains of increasing length (up to nine monomer units) has shown that cooperativity plays a more important role than expected and is stronger than in water. The Cl...H distance of the chloride to the most acidic proton increases with an increasing number of monomer units. The average bond distance approaches 218.9 pm asymptotically. The dipole moment grows almost linearly and the dipole moment per monomer unit reaches the asymptotic value of 16.3 D. The charge on the chloride atoms decreases with an increasing chain length. In order to detect local hydrogen bonding in the clusters a new parametrization of the shared-electron number method is introduced. We find decreasing hydrogen bond energies with an increasing cluster size for both the first hydrogen bond to the most acidic proton and the average hydrogen bond.     

Enzymatic kinetic resolution of Morita-Baylis-Hillman acetates

Racemic Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts derived from the reaction of acrylonitrile with benzaldehyde, cinnamaldehyde and hydrocinnamaldehyde have been successfully resolved by means of enzymatic kinetic resolution. The (+)-alcohol products were isolated with 94–97% ee after lipase-mediated enantioselective hydrolysis of the corresponding acetates. Mosher’s double derivatisation protocol was applied to these isolated products and the absolute configuration of the alcohols was found to be (S) for all three substrates.

Vesicles in ionic liquids

The formation of vesicles from 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) in several room-temperature ionic liquids, namely, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BmimBF(4)), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (BmimPF(6)), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (EmimNTf(2)), and N-benzylpyridinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (BnPyNTf(2)), as well as in a water/BmimBF(4) mixture, was investigated. In pure ionic liquids, observations by staining transmission electron microscopy demonstrated clearly the formation of spherical structures with diameters of 200-400 nm. The morphological characteristics of these vesicles in ionic liquids, in particular, the membrane thicknesses, were first investigated by small-angle neutron scattering measurements. The mean bilayer thickness was found to be ～63 ± 1 ? in a deuterated ionic liquid (BnPyNTf(2)-d). This value was similar to that observed in water. The effect of ILs on the modification of the phase physical properties of multilamellar vesicles (MLVs) was then investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. In pure IL as in water, DPPC exhibited an endothermic pretransition followed by the main transition. These transition temperatures and the associated enthalpies in ILs were higher than those in water because of a reduction of the electrostatic repulsion between zwitterionic head groups. To better understand the effect of ionic liquid on the formation of multilamellar vesicles, mixtures of BmimBF(4) and water, which are miscible in all proportions, were analyzed (BmimBF(4)/water ratio from 0% to 100%). SANS and DSC experiments demonstrated that the bilayer structure and stability were strongly modified by the IL content. Moreover, matching SANS experiments showed that BmimBF(4) molecules prefer to be located inside the DPPC membrane rather than in water.

Microwave-assisted separation of ionic liquids from aqueous solution of ionic liquids

Microwave-assisted separation has been applied to recover ionic liquid (IL) from its aqueous solution as an efficient method with respect to time and energy compared to the conventional vacuum distillation. Hydrophilic ILs such as 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([Bmim][BF(4)]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate ([Bmim][TfO]) and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium methylsulfate ([Emim][MS]) could be recovered in 6 min from the mixture of ILs and water (1:1, w/w) under microwave irradiation at constant power of 10 W while it took at least 240 min to obtain ILs containing same water content (less than 0.5 wt%) by conventional vacuum oven at 363.15 K with 90 kPa of vacuum pressure. Energy consumptions per gram of evaporated water from the homogeneous mixture of hydrophilic ILs and water (1:1, w/w) by microwave-assisted separation were at least 52 times more efficient than those in conventional vacuum oven. It demonstrated that microwave-assisted separation could be used for complete recovery of ILs in sense of time and energy as well as relevant purity.     

Application of novel room temperature ionic liquids in flexible supercapacitors

This paper studied application of different types of room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) into flexible supercapacitors. Typical RTILs including 1-buthyl-3-methyl-imidazolium [BMIM][Cl], trioctylmethylammonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide [OMA][TFSI] and triethylsulfonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([SET₃][TFSI]) were studied. [SET₃][TFSI] shows the best result as electrolyte in electrochemical double-layer (EDLC) supercapacitors with very high specific capacitance of 244 F/g at room temperature, overceiling the performance of conventional carbonate electrolyte such as dimethyl carbonate (DMC) with more stable performance and much larger electrochemical window.     

Application of ionic liquids to the electrodeposition of metals

The electrodeposition of most of technologically important metals has been shown to be possible from a wide range of room temperature molten salts, more commonly known today as 'ionic liquids'. These liquids are currently under intense scrutiny for a wide variety of applications some of which have already been commercialized. Despite the fact that electrodeposition was the first application studied in these liquids no metal deposition processes have as yet been developed to an industrial scale. This review addresses the practical and theoretical aspects that need to be considered when choosing ionic liquids for metal deposition. It details the current understanding of the physical and chemical properties of these interesting fluids and highlights the areas that need to be considered to develop practical electroplating systems. The effect of composition and temperature on viscosity and conductivity are discussed together with the fundamental approaches required to synthesise new liquids.     

Application of ionic liquids as low-volatility plasticizers for PMMA

Room temperature ionic liquids (ILs) based on imidazolium salts, were found to be excellent plasticizers for poly(methyl methacrylate), with improved thermal stability, and the ability to reduce glass transition temperatures to near 0 °C. Because ILs have environmentally benign properties, they can be used in place of traditional chemicals in numerous products and processes. In this work, PMMA was formulated using dioctyl phthalate, DOP, as a traditional plasticizer, and properties were compared to PMMA plasticized with two ILs: butyl methylimidazolium/hexafluorophosphate, [bmim⁺][PF₆⁻], and hexyl methylimidazolium/hexafluorophosphate, [hmim⁺][PF₆⁻]. Formulations incorporated up to 30 vol.% DOP and 50 vol.% ILs. Bulk and plasticized polymers were characterized for glass transition temperature, elastic modulus, and the thermal stability of the plasticizers.
