Synthesis of polymeric ionic liquids material and application in CO_2 adsorption

We synthesized one quaternary ammonium polymeric ionic liquids(PILs)P[VBTHEA]Cl and three imidazolium PILs of P[VEIm]Br, P[VEIm]BF_4, P[VEIm]PF_6 by free-radical polymerization in solution. These PILs were characterized by FT-IR,~1 H-NMR,~(13)C-NMR, TGA, XRD and SEM. Their CO_2 adsorption capacities were measured under different pressures and temperatures by constant-volume technique. It was observed that quaternary ammonium PILs of P[VBTHEA]Cl have higher adsorption capacity for CO_2 than those imidazolium PILs, following P[VBTHEA]Cl P[VEIm]PF_6 P[VEIm]BF_4 P[VEIm]Br, which may be ascribed to higher positive charge density on ammonium cation than that on imidazolium cation and thus stronger interaction with CO_2, consistent with the results from dual-mode adsorption model that ammonium PILs have much higher CO_2 bulk absorption than imidazolium PILs. CO_2 adsorption capacity of P[VBTHEA]Cl is 9.02 mg/g under 295 K and 1 bar, which is comparable to that of some other PILs, and is much higher than that of the corresponding ILs monomer. These PILs have good adsorption selectivity for CO_2 over N_2 and regeneration efficiency.     

Aggregation behavior of long-chain N-aryl imidazolium bromide in aqueous solution

The aggregation behavior of three long-chain N-aryl imidazolium ionic liquids (ILs), 1-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-3-alkylimidazolium bromide [C(n)pim]Br (n = 10, 12, and 14), in aqueous solutions was systematically explored by surface tension, electrical conductivity, and (1)H NMR. A lower critical micelle concentration (cmc) for the N-aryl imidazolium ILs is observed compared with that for 1,3-dialkylimidazolium ILs [C(n)mim]Br, indicating that the incorporation of the 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl group into a headgroup favors micellization. The enhanced π-π interactions among the adjacent 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl groups weaken the steric hindrance of headgroups and thus lead to a dense arrangement of [C(n)pim]Br molecules at the air-water interface. An analysis of the (1)H NMR spectra revealed that the introduced 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl group may slightly bend into the hydrophobic regions upon micellization. The micelle formation process for [C(n)pim]Br (n = 10, 12, and 14) was found to be enthalpy-driven in the investigated temperature range, which is attributed to the strong electrostatic self-repulsion of the headgroups and the counterions as well as the π-π interactions among headgroups. Strong, stable fluorescence properties are presented by the new N-aryl imidazolium ILs, indicating their potential application in the field of photochemistry.     

Tetrahaloindate(III)-based ionic liquids in the coupling reaction of carbon dioxide and epoxides to generate cyclic carbonates: H-bonding and mechanistic studies

The microwave reactions of InX3 with [Q]Y produce a series of tetrahaloindate(III)-based ionic liquids (ILs) with a general formula of [Q][InX3Y] (Q = imidazolium, phosphonium, ammonium, and pyridinium; X = Cl, Br, I; Y = Cl, Br). The reaction of CO2 with a variety of epoxides has been examined in the presence of these ILs wherein tetrahaloindate(III)-based ILs are found to exhibit high catalytic activities and evidence is presented that supports the significant role of H-bonding interactions in the [Q][InX3Y]-catalyzed coupling reactions. The effects of various parameters such as temperature, pressure, and molar ratio of propylene oxide to catalyst have been investigated, and the plausible reaction mechanism based on the 1H and 13C NMR studies is presented for the formation of propylene carbonate.     

The highly crosslinked dimethacrylic/divinylbenzene copolymers

The thermal stability of the ionic liquids (ILs) 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide, [BMIM]Br, and 1-n-octyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide, [OMIM]Br, was evaluated through thermogravimetry (TG). Long-term isothermal TG studies revealed that both of these ILs exhibit appreciable decomposition even at temperatures significantly lower than the onset decomposition temperature, previously determined from fast scan TG experiments. The long-term TG studies of both the ILs showed linear mass loss as a function of time at each temperature of 10 °C interval in the range 533–573 K over a period of 10 h. The kinetics of isothermal decomposition of ILs was analyzed using pseudo-zero-order rate expression. The activation energies for the isothermal decomposition of [BMIM]Br and [OMIM]Br under nitrogen atmosphere are 219.86 and 212.50 kJ mol⁻¹, respectively. The moisture absorption kinetics of these ILs at 25 °C and 30% relative humidity (RH) and at 85 °C and 85% RH were also studied. Water uptake of ILs exposed at 25 °C/30%RH follows a simple saturation behavior in agreement with Weibull model while that at 85 °C/85%RH fortuitously fit into the Henderson–Pabis model.     

Homogeneous enzymatic reactions in ionic liquids with poly(ethylene glycol)-modified subtilisin

Subtilisin Carlsberg was covalently modified with comb-shaped poly(ethylene glycol) (PM13). PM13-modified subtilisin (PM13-Sub) was readily solubilized in three different ionic liquids (ILs), i.e., [Emim][Tf2N], [C2OC1mim][Tf2N] and [C2OHmim][Tf2N]. Analysis of homogeneous enzymatic reactions in the ILs revealed that PM13-Sub exhibited excellent catalytic performance while the native enzyme suspended in ILs showed no activity. Hydrophobicity of ILs slightly affected enzyme activity, and the relatively hydrophobic IL [Emim][Tf2N] was the preferred medium for enzymatic reactions, similar to enzymatic reactions in conventional organic solvents. Enzyme activity was much higher in [Emim][Tf2N] than in conventional organic solvents, and excellent activity was associated with unique properties of ILs such as hydrophobicity and high polarity. Furthermore, PM13-Sub showed good stability in [Emim][Tf2N], and maintained 80% of its initial activity after 60 h.     

Zn-MOF-74负载ILs的结构稳定性和吸附研究

离子液体（ILs）作为一种新型绿色溶剂应用广泛,以多孔材料MOFs作为支撑体负载ILs,不仅有望降低离子液体的高粘性,而且有助于提高材料的吸附分离能力,但要如何选择适合MOFs体系来负载ILs是一个难点。本文采用密度泛函理论（DFT）,利用VASP和Gaussian 09 程序对负载IL（[Emim][BF4]）的Zn-MOF-74的结构稳定性进行系统研究,从几何结构、电荷分析、相互作用等方面将Zn-MOF-74@[Emim][BF4]复合体系与[Emim][BF4]和Zn-MOF-74比较分析。计算结果表明,负载[Emim][BF4]的Zn-MOF-74体系中,IL的阴离子与Zn-MOF-74的开放金属位点Zn发生强相互作用, Zn、F1原子之间因库仑力成键,造成了MOF-74配位构型的改变。IL的负载扰乱了Zn-MOF-74结构的对称性,增强了离子间相互作用。Zn-MOF-74 @[Emim][BF4]复合体系形变过程伴随着电荷转移,其吸附能为-1.032 eV,绘制的差分电荷以及相互作用图验证MOF和IL之间发生了化学吸附。进一步探讨负载离子液体的Zn-MOF-74吸附能力,研究了CO2在复合体系中吸附作用机制。     

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.     

Effect of imidazolium-based ionic liquids on the aggregation behavior of twin-tailed cationic gemini surfactant in aqueous solution

Micellization behavior of the twin-tailed surfactants can be modulated by the addition of various modifiers. Ionic liquids (ILs) are one of them and are documented here. The beauty of these environmentally benign neoteric molecules lies in their structural versatility. Here, we have investigated the effect of three ILs: 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([C₄mim][Br]), 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([C₆mim][Br]), and 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([C₈mim][Br]) on the aggregation and surface adsorption behavior of cationic gemini surfactant, bis(hexadecyldimethyl ammonium)propane dibromide (16-3-16) through experimentally measured electrical conductivities, surface tensions, and by spectral methods (UV-vis absorbance and fluorescence measurements). The main focus of the study is to observe the effect of added ILs on the critical micelle concentration (cmc), various surface parameters, aggregation number, and size of the aggregates of gemini surfactant. The results show that the more hydrophobic ILs, that is, [C₆mim][Br] and [C₈mim][Br] behave as electrolyte at lower concentration and cosurfactant at higher concentration, whereas moderately hydrophobic IL [C₄mim][Br] acts as an electrolyte at all concentration ranges studied. The modulating effects of ILs were also compared with conventional electrolyte (NaBr) at similar conditions.     

A theoretical investigation of the interactions between water molecules and ionic liquids

Quantum chemical calculations have been used to investigate the interaction between water molecules and ionic liquids based on the imidazolium cation with the anions [Cl(-)], [Br(-)], [BF(4)(-)], and [PF(6)(-)]. The predicted geometries and interaction energies implied that the water molecules interact with the Cl(-), Br(-), and BF(4)(-0 anions to form X(-)...W (X = Cl or Br, W = H(2)O), 2X-...2W, BF(4)(-)...W, and W...BF(4)(-)...W complexes. The hydrophobic PF(6)(-) anion could not form a stable complex with the water molecules at the density functional theory (DFT) level. Further studies indicate that the cation could also form a strong interaction with the water molecules. The 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium cation (Emim(+)) has been used as a model cation to investigate the interaction between a water molecule and a cation. In addition, the interaction between the ion pairs and the water was studied by using 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (Emim x Cl) as a model ionic liquid. The strengths of the interactions in these categories follow the trend anion-W > cation-W > ion pair-W.

Silver alkoxide and amino N-heterocyclic carbenes; syntheses and crystal structures

Silver(I) complexes of heterobidentate ligands that incorporate one or two N-heterocyclic carbene moieties coupled with an alcohol or amine group have been made by direct deprotonation of ligands of the form [HOCR¹R²CH₂(1-HC{NCHCHNR})][X], H₂L¹X (X = Br, I), [H₂NR¹CHR²CHR²(1-HC{NCHCHNR})][Br]₂ H₃L²X₂ (X = Cl, Br), and [H₂N{CH₂CH₂(1-HC[NCHCHNMes])}₂][X]₃ H₄L³X₃ (X = Cl, Br). Silver(I) oxide is sufficiently basic to deprotonate both the imidazolium and the alcohol functional groups of all but one of the L¹ ligand precursors, to afford rare examples of silver alkoxide complexes [Ag(L¹)], stabilised by the soft donor carbene. Another complex of L¹ is characterised as the carbene alcohol adduct [Ag(HL¹)₂I]. The analogous reactions of silver(I) oxide with the amino imidazolium precursors afford silver amino-carbenes [Ag(HL²)Br] with the potentially bidentate L² ligand, and [Ag(HL³)X] (X = Cl, Br) with the potentially tridentate L³ ligand. A single crystal X-ray diffraction study of the latter complex confirms that the neutral amine of the potentially tridentate L³ ligand is unco-ordinated; instead the structure contains discrete chains of T-shaped silver bis(carbene) halide moieties that bridge to form a zig-zag 2-connected polymer. Protonolysis of two of the silver alkoxide and amino adducts, [Ag(L^1a)] and [Ag(HL^2a)Br], affords imidazolium complexes salts [H₂L^1a][AgCl₂] and [Ag(H₂L^2a)Br][AgBr₂] that retain the Ag(I) centre as complex counterions. The single crystal X-ray structures of these salts have been determined and show the silver(I) cations are now incorporated into ladders or chains as silver(I) halo-anions, and a silver amine dative bond is present in the latter complex.     

Study of the Alkyl Chain Length on Laccase Stability and Enzymatic Kinetic with Imidazolium Ionic Liquids

The activity and stability of laccase and their kinetic mechanisms in water soluble ionic liquids (ILs): 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium chloride [C₄mim][Cl], 1-octyl-3-methyl imidazolium chloride [C₈mim][Cl], and 1-decyl-3-methyl imidazolium chloride [C₁₀mim][Cl] were investigated. The results show that an IL concentration up to 10% is satisfactory for initial laccase activity at pH 9.0. The laccase stability was well maintained in [C₄mim][Cl] IL when compared to the control. The inactivation of laccase increases with the length of the alkyl chain in the IL: [C₁₀mim][Cl] > [C₈mim][Cl] > [C₄mim][Cl]. The kinetic studies in the presence of ABTS as substrate allowed calculating the Michaelis–Menten parameters. Among the ILs, [C₄mim][Cl] was the suitable choice attending to laccase activity and stability. Alkyl chains in the ions of ILs have a deactivating effect on laccase, which increases strongly with the length of the alkyl chain.     

Performance and Mechanism of Alkylimidazolium Ionic Liquids as Corrosion Inhibitors for Copper in Sulfuric Acid Solution

The addition of corrosion inhibitors is an economic and environmental protection method to prevent the corrosion of copper. The adsorption, performance, and mechanism of three 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate ([BMIM]HSO₄, [HMIM]HSO₄, and [OMIM]HSO₄) ionic liquids (ILs) on the copper surface in 0.5 M H₂SO₄ solutions were studied by quantum chemical calculation, quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR), and molecular dynamics simulation. It is found that the main reactive site is located on the imidazolium ring (especially the C2, N4, and N7 groups). When the alkyl chain of the imidazolium ring is increasing, the molecular reactivity of the ILs and the interaction between the ILs inhibitor and copper surface are enhanced. The imidazole ring of the ILs tends to be adsorbed on Cu (111) surface in parallel through physical adsorption. The order of adsorption energy is [Bmim]HSO₄ < [Hmim]HSO₄ < [OMIM]HSO₄, which is in agreement with the experimental order of corrosion efficiency. On the imidazole ring, the interaction between the copper surface and the C atom is greater than that between the copper surface and the N atom. It is found that ILs addition can hinder the diffusion of corrosion particles, reduce the number density of corrosion particles and slow down the corrosion rate. The order of inhibition ability of three ILs is [Bmim]HSO₄ < [Hmim]HSO₄ < [OMIM]HSO₄,which agree well with experimental results. A reliable QSAR correlation between the inhibition corrosion efficiency and molecular reactivity parameters of the ILs was established.     

Ionic liquids as entrainers for water + ethanol,water + 2-propanol,and water + THF systems: A quantum chemical approach

Ionic liquids (ILs) are used as entrainers in azeotropic systems such as water + ethanol, water + 2-propanol, and water + tetrahydrofuran (THF). Ionic liquids consisting of a cation and an anion has limitless combinations, thereby making experimentation expensive and time taking. For the prediction of the liquid phase nonidealities resulting from molecular interactions, “COnductor-like Screening MOdel for Real Solvents” (COSMO-RS) approach is used in this work for the screening of potential ionic liquids. Initially benchmarking has been done on 12 reported isobaric IL based ternary systems with an absolute average deviation of 4.63% in vapor phase mole fraction and 1.07% in temperature. After successful benchmarking, ternary vapor + liquid equilibria for the azeotropic mixture of (a) ethanol + water, (b) 2-propanol + water, and (c) THF + water with combinations involving 10 cations (imidazolium, pyridinium, quinolium) and 24 anions were predicted. The VLE prediction, which gave the relative volatility, showed that the imidazolium based ionic liquid were the best entrainer for the separation of the three systems at their azeotropic point. ILs with [MMIM] cation in combination with acetate [OAc], chloride [Cl], and bromide [Br] anion gave the highest relative volatility.     

Thermodynamic studies of ionic interactions in aqueous solutions of imidazolium-based ionic liquids [Emim][Br] and [Bmim][Cl

Experimental measurements of density at different temperatures ranging from 293.15 to 313.15 K, the speed of sound and osmotic coefficients at 298.15 K for aqueous solution of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([Emim][Br]), and osmotic coefficients at 298.15 K for aqueous solutions of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([Bmim][Cl]) in the dilute concentration region are taken. The data are used to obtain compressibilities, expansivity, apparent and limiting molar properties, internal pressure, activity, and activity coefficients for [Emim][Br] in aqueous solutions. Experimental activity coefficient data are compared with that obtained from Debye-Hückel and Pitzer models. The activity data are further used to obtain the hydration number and the osmotic second virial coefficients of ionic liquids. Partial molar entropies of [Bmim][Cl] are also obtained using the free-energy and enthalpy data. The distance of the closest approach of ions is estimated using the activity data for ILs in aqueous solutions and is compared with that of X-ray data analysis in the solid phase. The measured data show that the concentration dependence for aqueous solutions of [Emim][Br] can be accounted for in terms of the hydrophobic hydration of ions and that this IL exhibits Coulombic interactions as well as hydrophobic hydration for both the cations and anions. The small hydration numbers for the studied ILs indicate that the low charge density of cations and their hydrophobic nature is responsible for the formation of the water-structure-enforced ion pairs.     

Effects of water content on the dissolution behavior of wool keratin using 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium dimethylphosphate

Ionic liquids(ILs) are eco-friend and recyclable solvents for dissolution of wool keratin, and water is often used as antisolvent to regenerate keratin from IL solution. To recycle the ILs, removing water is the necessary step. However, complete removal of the water is energy-intensive and costly. The water in ionic liquids would change the physicochemical properties and cluster structures of the IL and further affect its dissolution behavior on keratin. Here, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium dimethylphosphate([Emim]DMP) was used for experiments due to its good performance on dissolving keratin. The experimental and simulation results showed that the dissolving capability of [Emim]DMP was decreased and the interactions between cation and anion became weaker with water concentration increasing. Furthermore, the dissolution time of wool keratin in [Emim]DMP increased with water content rising. At the same time, the effect of water in ILs on the secondary structure distribution and thermal stability of regenerated keratin was not obvious. In this work, by taking the structures of [Emim]DMP, keratin dissolution time and properties of the regenerated keratin into consideration, a balanced range of water content in [Emim]DMP was determined, which could not only reduce recycling cost but also not affect the dissolution behavior of the IL.     

X-Ray absorption spectroscopy investigation of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide salts

X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) has been used to unveil the bromide ion local coordination structure in 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide [C(n)mim]Br ionic liquids (ILs) with different alkyl chains. The XAS spectrum of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide has been found to be different from those of the other members of the series, from the butyl to the decyl derivatives, that have all identical XAS spectra. This result indicates that starting from 1-buthyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide the local molecular arrangement around the bromide anion is the same independently from the length of the alkyl chain, and that the imidazolium head groups in the liquid ILs with long alkyl chains assume locally the same orientation as in the [C(4)mim]Br crystal. With this study we show that the XAS technique is an effective direct tool for unveiling the local structural arrangements around selected atoms in ILs.     

Kinetic study of the addition of trihalides to unsaturated compounds in ionic liquids. Evidence of a remarkable solvent effect in the reaction of ICl2-

The kinetic constants and activation parameters for the reactions of Br(3)(-) and ICl(2)(-) with some alkenes and alkynes have been determined in the ionic liquids [bmim][PF(6)], [emim][Tf(2)N], [bmim][Tf(2)N], [hmim][TF(2)N], [bm(2)im][Tf(2)N], and [bpy][TF(2)N] (where emim = 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium, bmim = 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium, hmim = 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium, bm(2)im = 1-butyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium, bpy = butylpyridinium, PF(6) = hexafluorophosphate, and Tf(2)N = bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide) and in 1,2-dichloroethane. The rates of both reactions increase on going from 1,2-dichloroethane to ILs. Evidence suggests that, while the hydrogen bonding ability of the imidazolium cation is probably the main factor able to increase the rate of the addition of ICl(2)(-) to double and triple bonds, this property has no effect on the electrophilic addition of Br(3)(-) to alkenes and alkynes. Furthermore, in the case of the ICl(2)(-) reaction, the hydrogen bonding ability of ILs can be exploited to suppress the unwanted nucleophilic substitution reaction on the products by the Cl(-) anion.     

Metallosurfactant Ionogels in Imidazolium and Protic Ionic Liquids as Precursors To Synthesize Nanoceria as Catalase Mimetics for the Catalytic Decomposition of H2O2

The gelation behavior of cationic surfactants with different counterions, Br^?, [FeCl₃Br]^?, and [CeCl₃Br]^?, in imidazolium ionic liquids (ILs) and protic ethylammonium nitrate was investigated. Small‐angle X‐ray scattering measurements and freeze‐fracture transmission electron microscopy observations revealed the lamellar phases of metallosurfactant ionogels. The characteristics of imidazolium ILs, including the size and type, have effects on metallosurfactant ionogel properties, such as transformation temperatures, interlayer spacing, and mechanical strength. Cubic fluorite structured cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO₂ NPs) were produced by using metallosurfactant ionogels as precursors. Cubic fluorite CeO₂ exhibited good catalase mimetic activity toward H₂O₂ to generate O₂, providing more multiple mimetic enzyme activities of CeO₂ NPs for H₂O₂.     

1-烷基-3-甲基咪唑氯化物焓变的热重分析

The structures of ionic liquids (ILs) based on 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [C_nmim]Cl (n = 2, 4, 6), (1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [C₂mim]Cl, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [C₄mim]Cl, and 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [C₆mim]Cl) were elucidated by ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR experiments. The vaporization characteristics of these ILs were studied by thermogravimetric analysis. Dynamic and isothermal thermogravimetric experiments were conducted in this study. The purpose of the dynamic experiments was to determine the initial decomposition temperature of the experimental sample and the temperature range for the isothermal thermogravimetric experiments. The purpose of the isothermal experiments was to record the mass dependence of the sample on time in the experimental temperature range. The Langmuir equation and Clausius-Clapeyron equation were used to fit the experimental data and obtain the vaporization enthalpies of these ILs at the average temperature within the experimental temperature range. However, in order to expand the applicability of the estimated values and to compare them with the literature data, the vaporization enthalpy ΔH_vap(T_av) measured at the average temperature was converted into vaporization enthalpy ΔH_vap(298) at ambient temperature. The difference between the heat capacities of the ILs in the gaseous and liquid states at constant pressure, Δ_l^gC_pm^ө proposed by Verevkin, was used in this conversion process. The experimental data for substance density and surface tension at other temperatures were obtained by referring to the literature. In addition, the data for density and surface tension at T = 298.15 K were obtained by applying the extrapolation method to the literature values for other temperatures. The vaporization enthalpy of the 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride IL [C₈mim]Cl was estimated by using the new vaporization model we had proposed in our previous work and compared with the reference value. The estimated value for [C₈mim]Cl was on the same order of magnitude as the reference value. We compared the vaporization enthalpies in the present study with those for the carboxylic acid imidazolium and amino acid imidazolium ILs ([C_nmim]Pro (n = 2-6) and [C_nmim]Thr (n = 2-6), respectively in our previous work. The results revealed that a change in the anion type affects the vaporization enthalpy of the ILs in the order amino acid imidazolium > carboxylic acid imidazolium > halogen imidazolium, when the cation is the same. Considering the structural differences between the three kinds of ILs, the abovementioned order may be related to the intermolecular hydrogen bonds. There were no intermolecular hydrogen bonds in the [C_nmim]Cl (n = 2, 4, 6) ILs studied here. Therefore, the vaporization enthalpy of [C_nmim]Cl (n = 2, 4, 6) was the lowest among the three kinds of ILs considered.
