Vibrational Spectroscopic Study on Ion Solvation and Association of Lithium Perchlorate in 4-Methoxymethyl-ethylene Carbonate

Solvation interaction and ion association in solutions of lithium perchlorate/4-methoxymethyl-ethylene carbonate （MEC） have been studied by using Infrared and Raman spectra as a function of concentration of lithium perchlorate. The splitting of ring deformation band and ring ether asymmetric stretching band, and the change of carbonyl stretching band suggest that there should be a strong interaction between Li^＋ and the solvent molecules, and the site of solvation should be the oxygen atom of carbonyl group. The apparent solvation number of Li^＋ was calculated by using band fitting technique. The solvation number was decreased from 3.3 to 1.1 with increasing the concentration of LiClO4/MEC solutions. On the other hand, the band fitting for the ClO4^- band revealed the presence of contact ion pair, and free ClO4^- anion in the concentrated solutions.

A Vibrational Spectroscopic Study of Ion Solvation in Lithium Perchlorate/Propylene Carbonate Electrolyte

Abstract

The infrared (IR) and Raman spectra of propylene carbonate (PC) containing various concentrations of LiClO₄ have been measured and analyzed. The difference in spectra of PC with and without LiClO₄ was attributed to the interaction of the PC molecules and lithium ions. This interaction occurs mainly on the carbonyl oxygen atom of the PC molecule. The ring deformation, symmetric ring deformation, carbonyl stretching and stretching of ring oxygens for PC are sensitive to this interaction. The solvation number of Li⁺ is also calculated. On the other hand, the structure of the ClO^? ₄ is also affected by PC molecule, forming the solvent separated ion pairs.

Ion Hydration and Ion Pairing as Probed by THz Spectroscopy

Ion hydration is of pivotal importance for many fundamental processes. Various spectroscopic methods are used to study the retardation of the hydration bond dynamics in the vicinity of anions and cations. Here we introduce THz‐FTIR spectroscopy as a powerful method to answer the open questions. We show through dissection of THz spectra that we can pinpoint characteristic absorption features that can be attributed to the rattling modes of strongly hydrating ions within their hydration cages as well as vibrationally induced charge fluctuations in the case of weakly hydrating ions. Further analysis yields information on anion–cation cooperativity, the size of the dynamic hydration shell, as well as the lifetimes of these collective ion‐hydration water modes and their connecting thermal bath states. Our study provides evidence for a non‐additive behavior, thus questioning the simplified Hofmeister model. THz spectroscopy enables ion pairing to be observed and quantified at a high salt concentration.

Study of Microheterogeneity in Acetonitrile–Water Binary Mixtures by using Polarity‐Resolved Solvation Dynamics

The solvation dynamics of three coumarin dyes with widely varying polarities were studied in acetonitrile–water (ACN–H₂O) mixtures across the entire composition range. At low ACN concentrations [ACN mole fractions (X_ACN)≤0.1], the solvation dynamics are fast (<40 ps), indicating a nearly homogeneous environment. This fast region is followed by a sudden retardation of the average solvation time (230–1120 ps) at higher ACN concentrations (X_ACN≈0.2), thus indicating the onset of nonideality within the mixture that continues until X_ACN≈0.8. This nonideality regime (X_ACN≈0.2–0.8) comprises of multiple dye‐dependent anomalous regions. At very high ACN concentrations (X_ACN≈0.8–1), the ACN–H₂O mixtures regain homogeneity, with faster solvation times. The source of the inherent nonideality of the ACN–H₂O mixtures is a subject of debate. However, a careful examination of the widths of time‐resolved emission spectra shows that the origin of the slow dynamics may be due to the diffusion of polar solvent molecules into the first solvation shell of the excited coumarin dipole.

Solvation of Cobalt(II) Ion in N,N-Dimethylformamide–Methanol Mixed Solvent: Calorimetry and VIS Spectroscopy Studies

The enthalpies of solution of Co(II) and Na(I) trifluoromethanesulfonates (triflates) in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF)–methanol (MeOH) mixtures have been measured over the whole range of solvent composition. From these data the enthalpies of transfer of Co(II) and triflate ions from methanol to the mixed solvent have been determined usingliterature values of the enthalpies of transfer of the Na⁺ ion. The results have been analyzed by means of the theory of preferential solvation. The analysis revealed the preference of DMF for solvating the Co(II) ion in the MeOH-rich region of solvent composition and the lack of preference of any component in the DMF-rich region. Visible absorption spectra of the Co(II) ion in DMF–MeOH mixtures have been also measured in the whole range of solvent composition and analyzed using the partial least-squares method. The mean composition of the solvation sphere of the Co(II) ion versus solvent composition has been determined on the basis of both analyses. The results were found to be consistent with each other and with those obtained previously from FT-IR spectra.

Solvation of ions in liquid solvents and proteins

Despite their well-known drawbacks, the approaches of continuum electrostatics are widely used at the analysis of the energies of solvation and reorganization. We propose a method to check the applicability of these approaches in the determination of the solvation energy, which is based on measuring the difference of redox potentials ΔE of two consecutive redox reactions, e.g. for the pairs Co(Cp) ₂ ⁺ /Co(Cp)₂/Co(Cp) ₂ ^? (here, Cp is cyclopentadienyl). In this difference, the solvophobic effects and the liquid junction potential between the working and reference electrodes, which is impossible to measure, cancel out. From the difference of ΔE in two different solvents, the sum of the electrostatic components of the cation-and anion-transfer energies is determined. It is shown that, for large low-charged ions in aprotic media, the continuum electrostatics proves to be true in a wide range of dielectric permittivities including those typical for proteins. The Stokes shift of fluorescence spectra for proflavine (PF) showed that the water reorganization energy and, hence, the energy of the static dielectric response are anomalously high. To study this effect on the solvation energy, we determined the redox potentials of the Co(Cp) ₂ ⁺ /Co(Cp)₂ pair in a number of water-organic media. The organic cosolvent breaks the water structure and reduces the reorganization energy. Accordingly, the redox potential turns more positive. This allowed us to determine the energy of transfer of Co(Cp) ₂ ⁺ ions (and, hence, of other ions) nonviolated by the water structure specifics. The experimental energies of the acetate transfer exceed those calculated by an order of magnitude. This demonstrates the incorrectness of the widely used semicontinuum calculations of the pK of ionogenic groups of proteins. A new algorithm, which permits overcoming this discrepancy, is proposed, namely, the short-range interactions are taken into account based on the experimental energies of the transfer to a model DMF solvent, while the transfer energy from this solvent to the protein is calculated electrostatically. The energy of the ion charging in a protein consists of two physically different components, namely, the charging energy in the pre-existing field of protein dipoles and charges and the energy of the dielectric response of the medium. The former energy is determined by the electronic polarization of the protein (its optical dielectric permittivity), while the latter is determined by all kinds of polarization (static permittivity). Taking into account all the aforementioned peculiarities leads to reasonable agreement with the experiment when estimating the pK of certain groups in α-chymotrypsin. These calculations as well as experimental data (both our and taken form the literature (molecular dynamics)) point to the enhanced dielectric permittivity of the outer layers of proteins.     

Solvent effects on complexation of crown ethers with LiClO4, NaClO4 and KClO4 in methanol and acetonitrile

The thermodynamic formation constants K_f for complexation of Li⁺, Na⁺ and K⁺ with the crown ethers 12C4 and 15C5 have been determined in methanol and acetonitrile at 25°C using precision conductivity data. The method permits evaluation of very small K_f values (e.g., K_f=6.98 mol^–1-dm³ for LiClO₄+12C4 in methanol) as well as fairly large values (e.g., K_f=2.73×10⁴ mol^–1-dm³ for NaClO₄+15C5 in acetonitrile). The determination of K_f values from conductivity data takes into consideration the often neglected ion pair formation of both the uncomplexed and the complexed cations. Our results for K_f are generally consistent with previously reported values based on potentiometry, calorimetry and polarography, but there are significant differences in several cases which we attribute to neglect of ion association both for the uncomplexed or free cation K_a and the macrocyclic complexed cation K_a2. Our results are also consistent with the well known concepts relating the magnitude of K_f to both the cavity diameter and ion-solvent interactions. Limiting molar conductivities ₂ ⁰ for the complex salt (M-crown ether) (ClO₄) in both solvents were generally found to be smaller or very close to the corresponding quantity ₁ ⁰ for the binary MClO₄-solvent system. However, in methanol, single ion limiting molar conductivities for the cationic complexes ₂ ⁰ exhibit anomalous behavior which is attributed to solvation differences between free cations and complexed cations.

Hydrogen Bonding in Fluorinated Amides: FTIR,Two Dimensional Correlation Spectroscopy and DFT Calculations

Fluorinated macromers with amidic functional groups are used as additives in several high tech applications. We show here how aggregation phenomena related to hydrogen bonding are one of the key factor determining their chemical/physical and macroscopic properties. IR spectra are analyzed depending on different external parameters such as the concentration of amide groups and temperature. The experimental findings have been interpreted by means of DFT (Density Functional Theory) calculations on suitable molecular models. Moreover, 2D correlation spectroscopy has been applied to different sets of data, considering concentration and temperature as perturbing variables. The two dimensional correlation approaches confirmed the computational results and give an overall interpretation of the effects due to concentration and temperature.

Mean activity coefficients are derived from the osmotic coefficients.     

Raman and FTIR Spectroscopic Studies of 1‐Ethyl‐3‐methylimidazolium Trifluoromethylsulfonate,its Mixtures with Water and the Solvation of Zinc Ions

In this paper we report on the interactions of the ionic liquid 1‐ethyl‐3‐methylimidazolium trifluoromethylsulfonate ([EMIm]TfO) with water and the solvation of zinc ions in neat [EMIm]TfO and [EMIm]TfO–water mixtures investigated by FTIR and Raman spectroscopy. The structures and physicochemical properties of the [EMIm]TfO–water mixtures are strongly dependent on the interaction between cations, anions, and water. The structure was changed from ionic‐liquid‐like to water‐like solutions upon addition of water. In addition, zinc salts can precipitate in 0.2 M Zn(TfO)₂/[EMIm]TfO upon addition of 10 % (v/v) water, presumably as a result of polarity change of the solution. The average coordination number of TfO^? per zinc ion calculated from Raman spectra is 3.8 in neat [EMIm]TfO, indicating that [Zn(TfO)₄]^2?, and [Zn(TfO)₃]^? complexes are present in the solution. However, in the presence of water, water interacts preferentially with the zinc ions, leading to aqueous zinc species. The solvation of zinc ions in 1‐butyl‐1‐methylpyrrolidinium trifluoromethylsulfonate ([Py_1,4]TfO) was also investigated. In [Py_1,4]TfO, there are, on average, 4.5 TfO^? anions coordinating each zinc ion, corresponding to the weak interaction between [Py_1,4]⁺ cations and TfO^? anions. The species present in [Py_1,4]TfO are likely a mixture of [Zn(TfO)₄]^2? and [Zn(TfO)₅]^3?.     

Simple methods for the estimation of ionization constants of substituted pyridine N-oxides in polar aprotic solvents and water

A direct method for the determination of the pK _a values of acids conjugated to substituted pyridine N-oxides has been proposed which is based on the pH measurement of the solution of the basic salt. It has been experimentally shown that the method is reliable when applied to N-oxides of not too low basicity (pK _a >5). Correlation has been performed between the pK _a values in aqueous and aprotic media solutions which shows the great influence of the solvation effect on the acid-base equilibria. The good correlation between the pK _a values in aqueous and non-aqueous solutions enables the pK _a values in water to be estimated with sufficient accuracy, even in the cases when the experimental limitations make the determination impossible which is shown on the basis of selected examples.     

Ion Pairing in Protic Ionic Liquids Probed by Far‐Infrared Spectroscopy: Effects of Solvent Polarity and Temperature

The cation–anion and cation–solvent interactions in solutions of the protic ionic liquid (PIL) [Et₃NH][I] dissolved in solvents of different polarities are studied by means of far infrared vibrational (FIR) spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The dissociation of contact ion pairs (CIPs) and the resulting formation of solvent‐separated ion pairs (SIPs) can be observed and analyzed as a function of solvent concentration, solvent polarity, and temperature. In apolar environments, the CIPs dominate for all solvent concentrations and temperatures. At high concentrations of polar solvents, SIPs are favored over CIPs. For these PIL/solvent mixtures, CIPs are reformed by increasing the temperature due to the reduced polarity of the solvent. Overall, this approach provides equilibrium constants, free energies, enthalpies, and entropies for ion‐pair formation in trialkylammonium‐containing PILs. These results have important implications for the understanding of solvation chemistry and the reactivity of ionic liquids.
