Task-specific ionic liquids for carbon dioxide absorption and conversion into value-added products

Ionic liquids (ILs), by virtue of their special properties such as functional designability and high thermal stability, have been widely used as absorbent to CO₂ and catalyst for CO₂ conversion. This review summarizes the recent developments from 2019 to 2021 on task-specific ionic liquids (TSILs) with modulable properties by introducing specific functional groups to anions or/and cations for CO₂ absorption and conversion. The increase of basicity in TSILs by introducing amino/or amine groups or collaboration with multiple active sites of carboxyl, imidazolyl, pyridyl, and hydroxyl groups achieve high CO₂ affinity and absorption capacity. To solve the defects of high viscosity, ether groups are introduced to TSILs for CO₂ absorption. Besides, recent studies on CO₂ thermal catalytic conversion focused on the construction of C–O bonds and C–N bonds are also summarized. The catalytic activity of TSILs is enhanced by improving the synergy effect of different functional groups on anions and cations. It is expected that this minireview will provide the understanding of the current developments and perspective for practical CO₂ absorption and transformation by TSILs.     

Copper(II)‐Specific Fluorogenic Task‐Specific Ionic Liquids as Selective Fluorescence Probes and Recyclable Extractants

The designed synthesis of a series of copper(II) specific fluorogenic hydrophobic task‐specific ionic liquids (TSILs) from a new naphthalene‐based tetradentate ligand is reported. Absorption and fluorescence spectral studies reveal both the ligand and its derivative TSILs show exclusive selectivity towards copper(II) ions. The Stern–Volmer method for calculation of the detection limit for ligand and TSIL_1–3 shows values of 0.12, 20, 17, and 15 μM , respectively. Extraction and striping studies by doping these TSILs in [bmim][NTf₂] demonstrated that these TSILs are recyclable extractants for the selective recovery of Cu^II ions from a mixture of 14 relevant metal chloride aqueous solutions in biphasic liquid–liquid extraction with approximately 95 % recovery.

New task-specific ionic liquids as bifunctional organocatalysts; Synthesis,characterization, and computational insights

A new class of functionalized imidazolium-based Task-Specific Ionic Liquids (TSILs) is designed as low-cost bifunctional organocatalyst. New alkoxymethylimidazolium ILs are efficiently synthesized under solvent free conditions and extensively characterized by physical and spectral studies. The newly synthesized ILs demonstrate excellent catalytic potential in condensation reactions of high importance, such as the Biginelli reaction for the synthesis of medicinally important dihydropyrimidiones. The effect of the alkoxy group and counter-ions in the imidazolium salts were evaluated in detail. Moreover, computational studies were employed to explore the structural dynamics and physicochemical properties of the prepared ionic liquids. 3-(iso-butoxymethyl)-1-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium tetrafluoroborate (ⁱBOMMIMBF₄ 7) exhibited the highest catalytic ability due to the combined influence of the alkoxy group structure, counterion nature, high electrophilicity index, and availability of the reactive C2-H. Some notable advantages of the new TSILs include efficient catalyst preparation, simple work-up procedure, recyclability, short reaction times, and excellent yields.     

Highly Efficient Diglycolamide‐Based Task‐Specific Ionic Liquids: Synthesis,Unusual Extraction Behaviour,Irradiation, and Fluorescence Studies

Two new diglycolamide‐based task‐specific ionic liquids (DGA? TSILs) were evaluated for the extraction of actinides and lanthanides from acidic feed solutions. These DGA? TSILs were capable of exceptionally high extraction of trivalent actinide ions, such as Am³⁺, and even higher extraction of the lanthanide ion, Eu³⁺ (about 5–10 fold). Dilution of the DGA? TSILs in an ionic liquid, C₄mim⁺ ? NTf₂^?, afforded reasonably high extraction ability, faster mass transfer, and more efficient stripping of the metal ion. The nature of the extracted species was studied by slope analysis, which showed that the extracted species contained one NO₃^? anion, along with the participation of two DGA? TSIL molecules. Time‐resolved laser fluorescence spectroscopy (TRLFS) analysis showed a strong complexation with no inner‐sphere water molecule in the Eu^III? DGA? TSIL complexes in the presence and absence of C₄mim⁺ ? NTf₂^? as the diluent. The very high radiolytic stability of DGA? TSIL 6 makes it one of the most‐efficient solvent systems for the extraction of actinides under acidic feed conditions.

Ionic liquids in the synthesis and modification of polymers

Ionic liquids are organic salts that are liquid at ambient temperatures, preferably at room temperature. They are nonvolatile, thermally and chemically stable, highly polar liquids that dissolve many organic, inorganic, and metallo‐organic compounds. Many combinations of organic cations with different counterions are already known, and the properties of ionic liquids may be adjusted by the proper selection of the cation and counterion. In the last decade, there has been increasing interest in using ionic liquids as solvents for chemical reactions. The interest is stimulated not only by their nonvolatility (green solvents) but also by their special properties, which often affect the course of a reaction. In recent years, ionic liquids have also attracted the attention of polymer chemists. Although the research on using ionic liquids in polymer systems is still in its infancy, several interesting possibilities have already emerged. Ionic liquids are used as solvents for polymerization processes, and in several systems they indeed show some advantages. In radical polymerization, the k_p/k_t ratio (where k_p is the rate constant of propagation and k_t is the rate constant of termination) is higher than in organic media, and thus better control of the process can be achieved. Ionic liquids, as electrolytes, have also attracted the attention of researchers in the fields of electrochemical polymerization and the synthesis of conducting polymers. Finally, the blending of ionic liquids with polymers may lead to the development of new materials (ionic liquids may act as plasticizers, electrolytes dispersed in polymer matrices, or even porogens). In this article, the new developments in these fields are briefly discussed. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 43: 4675–4683, 2005

Task-specific ionic liquids bearing 2-hydroxybenzylamine units: synthesis and americium-extraction studies

The synthesis of two task-specific ionic liquids (TSILs) bearing 2-hydroxybenzylamine entities is described. These compounds are based on an imidazolium substructure onto which one hydrobenzylamine-complexing moiety is grafted. We have demonstrated that, whether pure or diluted, TSIL is able to extract americium ions. Furthermore, recovery of americium from the IL phase into a receiving phase can be achieved under acidic conditions. A possible mechanism for the metal-ion partitioning is presented, in which the extraction system is driven by an ion-exchange mechanism.

Reaction rates as a function of scale within ionic liquids: microscale in droplet microreactors versus macroscale reactions in the case of the Grieco three-component condensation reaction

Task-specific ionic liquids (TSILs) and more specifically binary task-specific ionic liquids (BTSILs), a unique subclass, have been shown to be excellent supports for solution-phase chemistry. The negligible volatility of ionic liquids enables their use as stable droplet microreactors in atmospheric environments without oil protection or confinement. These droplets can be moved, merged and mixed by electrowetting on a chip. Solution-phase synthesis can be performed on these open digital microfluidic labs-on-a-chip as illustrated by a study of the Grieco three-component reaction in [tmba][NTf(2)]-droplet (tmba=N-trimethyl-N-butylammonium NTf(2)=bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide) microreactors. A detailed study of matrices and scale effects on conversion and kinetic rates of this three-component condensation is presented in this paper. Reactions have been shown to be slower in droplets than in batches in the absence of additional mixing. Also, a significant influence of the ionic-liquid matrix has been observed. Finally, an increase of droplet's temperature resulted in a kinetics enhancement so as to reach macroscale reaction rates, probably because of a much better mixing of reaction's components involving a Marangoni's effect.

Maleimide‐Modified Phosphonium Ionic Liquids: A Template Towards (Multi)Task‐Specific Ionic Liquids

The synthesis and characterization of several compounds representing a new class of multitask‐specific phosphonium ionic liquids that contain a maleimide functionality is reported. The maleimide moiety of the ionic liquid (IL) is shown to undergo Michael‐type additions with substrates containing either a thiol or amine moiety, thus, serving as a template to introduce wide structural diversity into the IL. Multitask‐specific ILs are accessible by reaction of the maleimide with Michael donors that are capable of serving some function. As a model example to illustrate this concept, a redox active ferrocenyl thiol was incorporated and examined by cyclic voltammetry. Because the maleimide moiety is highly reactive to additions, the task‐specific ionic liquids (TSILs) are prepared as the furan‐protected Diels–Alder maleimide. The maleimide moiety can then be liberated when required by simple heating.
