Experimental measurements of mutual solubility of cyclohexanone,cyclohexene and ionic liquid

This work presents new experimental liquid–liquid equilibrium data for four ternary systems, containing cyclohexanone, cyclohexene and ionic liquids (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, triethylammonium trifluoromethanesulfonate, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate) at temperature 296.15 K and at atmospheric pressure. Compositions of ternary liquid mixtures were determined using refractometric methods. It was shown that 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate containing imidazole cations can be considered as solvent for oxidation of cyclohexene to cyclohexanone.     

The thermochemistry of solvation of imidazolium-based ionic liquids in benzene

ABSTRACT

The present work is devoted to the thermochemical study of solvation of ionic liquids (IL) in benzene. The solution enthalpies of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tricyanomethanide [EMIM][C(CN)₃], 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [BMIM][BF₄], 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [HMIM][PF₆], 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [OMIM][BF₄], 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide [EMIM][NTf₂], 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide [BMIM][NTf₂] and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate [BMIM][TfO] in benzene were measured. The solvation enthalpies of imidazolium-based IL were calculated. Molar refractions of imidazolium-based IL form literature data on density and refractive indexes of IL were also calculated. The linear correlation between solvation enthalpy and molar refraction of IL was observed. This correlation can be used to calculate the vaporization enthalpy of imidazolium-based IL from solution calorimetry data.     

Bromination of alkylbenzenes in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide and its dibromide complex

Alkylbenzenes were subjected to bromination with molecular bromine using 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide as solvent. A complex of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide with bromine was synthesized. It ensured bromination of alkylbenzenes with no bromine and solvent. The results of bromination in binary solvents and ionic liquids, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide and tribromide were compared. The bromination of ethylbenzene with 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tribromide was accompanied by formation of a considerable amount of α-bromoethylbenzene, which is not typical of electrophilic aromatic substitution process.     

A new diastereoselective intramolecular electroreductive coupling of unsaturated β-ketoesters and β-ketoamides in ionic liquids at a tin cathode

The diastereoselective intramolecular electroreductive coupling of several β-ketoesters and β-ketoamides has been accomplished at a tin cathode in ionic liquids and isopropanol (9:1). The ionic liquids used are 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide [BMIM]Br, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [BMIM]BF₄, 1-methoxyethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoroacetate [MOEMIM]CF₃COO and 1-methoxyethyl-3-methylimidazolium mesylate [MOEMIM]Ms. This methodology offers a clean and green process for the synthesis of functionalized carbocycles in good yields with excellent stereochemical control at three stereogenic centres.     

Excess molar properties for binary systems of alkylimidazolium-based ionic liquids + nitromethane. Experimental results and ERAS-model calculations

Density, isobaric molar heat capacity, and excess molar enthalpy were experimentally determined at atmospheric pressure for a set of binary systems ionic liquid + nitromethane. The studied ionic liquids were: 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, 1-butyl-3-methylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethylsulfate, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium methylsulfate, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate, and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate. Density and heat capacity were obtained within the temperature range (293.15 to 318.15) K whereas excess molar enthalpy was measured at 303.15 K; excess molar volume and excess molar isobaric heat capacity were calculated from experimental data. The ERAS-model was applied in order to study the microscopic mechanisms involved in the mixing process. Although the studied compounds are not self-associated, ERAS-model describe adequately the experimental results if cross-association between both compounds is considered.

The computational methodology for updating existing values of Abraham model ion-specific equation coefficients is illustrated using published experimental solubility and partition coefficient for solutes dissolved in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoroacetate, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoroacetate and 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoroacetate. The updated Abraham model ion-specific equation coefficients that are reported for the trifluoroacetate anion are based on 51 experimental values.

Measurement and correlation of solubility of carbon dioxide in 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ionic liquids

The solubility of carbon dioxide in the ionic liquids 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate and 1-nonyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate was measured at temperatures of 293.15 and 298.15 K and pressure up to 4 MPa using a stoichiometric phase equilibrium apparatus. The measured data for 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate were in good agreement with existing literature data and new solubility data were reported for 1-nonyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate. The measured data were correlated using the group contribution non-random lattice fluid equation of state (GC-NLF EoS) proposed by Lee and co-workers. The group parameters for CG-NLF EoS were slightly modified at limited range to accommodate recent experimental data and better prediction at high pressure and long alkyl chains.     

Accurate measurements of thermodynamic properties of solutes in ionic liquids using inverse gas chromatography

Activity coefficients at infinite dilution of 29 organic compounds in two room temperature ionic liquids were determined using inverse gas chromatography. The measurements were carried out at different temperatures between 323.15 and 343.15K. To establish the influence of concurrent retention mechanisms on the accuracy of activity coefficients at infinite dilution for 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium octyl sulfate and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tosylate, phase loading studies of the net retention volume per gram of packing as a function of the percent phase loading were used. It is shown that most of the solutes are retained largely by partition with a small contribution from adsorption on 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium octyl sulfate and that the n-alkanes are retained predominantly by interfacial adsorption on 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tosylate.     

Theoretical study on cation-anion interaction and vibrational spectra of 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium-based ionic liquids

In order to deepen the understanding of the cation-anion interaction in ionic liquids, the structures of cation, anions, and cation-anion ion-pairs of 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium-based ionic liquids are optimized using density functional theory (DFT), and their most stable geometries are discussed. The structural parameters, hydrogen bonds and interaction energies of 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide ([Amim]DCA), 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([Amim]Cl), 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium formate ([Amim]FmO) and 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([Amim]AcO) ion pairs are studied. The vibrational frequencies of [Amim]DCA and [Amim]Cl have been calculated and scaled values have been compared with experimental FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra. The complete assignments were performed on the basis of the potential energy distribution (PED) of the vibrational modes.     

聚丙烯酸锂与1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑溴离子液体的阳离子交换反应

通过聚丙烯酸锂(PAALi)与1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑溴(BmimBr)离子液体进行阳离子交换, 将1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑阳离子引入到聚丙烯酸锂结构中, 形成了丙烯酸锂(AALi)与1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑丙烯酸盐(BmimAA)离子液体的无规共聚物[P(AALi-BmimAA)]. 研究了反应时间、温度、投料比、反应物浓度及聚丙烯酸锂分子量等对离子交换程度的影响. 对不同离子交换程度时聚合物电导率的研究结果表明, 所有共聚物的电导率均比聚丙烯酸锂的有明显提高, 并且随着阳离子交换程度的增加, 电导率出现极值. 在聚丙烯酸锂的15%水溶液中, 当Bmim+与Li+的投料摩尔比为1∶1时, 在80 ℃下交换反应24 h, 得到的共聚物的Bmim+与Li+摩尔比为0.0387, 其电导率最高, 为1.44×10-8 S/cm, 比聚丙烯酸锂的电导率(1.06×10-11 S/cm)提高了3个数量级. 向此共聚物中掺杂LiTFSI, 电导率再次提高2个数量级, 最高可达2.90×10-6 S/cm.     

Correlation between the fluorescent response of microfluidity probes and the water content and viscosity of ionic liquid and water mixtures

Accurate data on transport properties such as viscosity are essential in plant and process design involving ionic liquids. In this study, we determined the absolute viscosity of the ionic liquid + water system at water mole fractions from 0 to 0.25 for three 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium ionic liquids: 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethane sulfonyl)imide and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethane sulfonyl)imide. In each case, the excimer to monomer ratio for 1,m-bis(1-pyrenyl)alkanes (m= 3 or 10) was found to increase linearly with the mole fraction of water. Of the probes studied only PRODAN and rhodamine 6G, both of which have the ability to participate in hydrogen bonding, exhibited Perrin hydrodynamic behavior in the lower viscosity bis(trifluoromethane sulfonyl)imides. As a result, these probes allow for the extrapolation of the absolute viscosity of the ionic liquid mixture from the experimental fluorescence steady-state polarization values.     

电极/离子液体界面电容

用电化学阻抗方法研究了铂片电极在BMIMPF6,BMIMBF4,BMIMClO4,BMIMTf2N,BMIMCl,BMIMBr,C3OHMIMBF4,C3OHMIMClO4和BMMIMPF6(BMIM:1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium;C3OHMIM:1-(3-hydroxypropyl)-3-methylimidazolium;BMMIM:1-butyl-2-methyl-3-methylimidazolium;Tf2N:bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide)等离子液体中的界面电容及结构.结果表明:当阴、阳离子半径相差不大且不存在特性吸附时,在零电荷电势附近,电极/离子液体界面的电容-电势曲线将出现电容单峰或者双峰.电极的零电荷电势对应于单峰的峰电势或者双峰之间的谷电势.当电极电势远离零电荷电势时,电极/离子液体界面成紧密层结构,可由紧密层理论来描述.如果存在离子的特性吸附,相应的电容峰可能不再出现,而表现为双层电容随电极电势对零电荷电势的偏离而单调增加.还研究了添加小的Li+离子对电极/离子液体界面电容的影响.通过向BMIMTf2N中加入LiTf2N,发现Li+离子可以改变电极/离子液体界面的双层结构,但无助于界面电容的提高,甚至可能引起电容的降低.最后探讨了不同条件下,尤其考虑阴阳离子特性吸附时,电极/离子液体的界面结构.     

Evidence of rotational isomerism in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium halides: a combined high-pressure infrared and Raman spectroscopic study

High-pressure methods were applied to investigate the rotational isomerism and the hydrogen-bonding structures of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, respectively. Conformation changes of the butyl chain were observed above a pressure of 0.3 GPa. Under ambient pressure, Raman spectra indicate that the more thermodynamically stable butyl structure of the cations is the gauche-anti (GA) and all-anti forms for 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, respectively. Nevertheless, the high-pressure phases arise from the perturbed GA conformer. The imidazolium C-H bands of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride display anomalous nonmonotonic pressure-induced frequency shifts. This discontinuity in the frequency shift is related to the modification of the imidazolium C-H---Cl- contacts upon compression. The alkyl C-H---Cl- interactions are suggested to be a compensatory mechanism to provide additional stability. Density-functional-theory-calculated results also support the high-pressure results that the methyl and butyl C-H groups are suitable proton donor sites for the GA conformer.     

Phase Behavior of Ionic Liquids-Cesium Carbonate-Water Aqueous Two-phase Systems and Their Extraction of L-Tryptophan

Phase behavior and extraction ability of aqueous two-phase systems(ATPs) consisting of ionic liquids(ILs), Cs₂CO₃ and water were investigated in this paper. Four kinds of ionic liquids, namely, 1-amyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide([C₅mim]Br), 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide([C₆mim]Br), 1-heptyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([C₇mim]Br) and 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide([C₈mim]Br), were examined to discuss the influence of alkyl groups. Binodal curves and tie-lines at 288.15, 298.15 and 308.15 K were obtained. The partitioning behavior for L-tryptophan in such ATPs was further investigated. The effect of temperature, pH, Cs₂CO₃ concentration and the structure of ionic liquids on the partitioning were discussed in detail.     

The gaseous enthalpy of formation of the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide from combustion calorimetry, vapor pressure measurements, and ab initio calculations

Ionic liquids are attracting growing interest as alternatives to conventional molecular solvents. Experimental values of vapor pressure, enthalpy of vaporization, and enthalpy of formation of ionic liquids are the key thermodynamic quantities, which are required for the validation and development of the molecular modeling and ab initio methods toward this new class of solvents. In this work, the molar enthalpy of formation of the liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide, 206.2 +/- 2.5 kJ.mol-1, was measured by means of combustion calorimetry. The molar enthalpy of vaporization of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide, 157.2 +/- 1.1 kJ.mol-1, was obtained from the temperature dependence of the vapor pressure measured using the transpiration method. The latter method has been checked with measurements of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide, where data are available from the effusion technique. The first experimental determination of the gaseous enthalpy of formation of the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide, 363.4 +/- 2.7 kJ.mol-1, from thermochemical measurements (combustion and transpiration) is presented. Ab initio calculations of the enthalpy of formation in the gaseous phase have been performed for 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide using the G3MP2 theory. Excellent agreement with experimental results has been observed. The method developed opens a new way to obtain thermodynamic properties of ionic liquids which have not been available so far.     

Molecular solutions of cellulose in mixtures of ionic liquids with pyridine

New systems suitable for determination of molecular characteristics of cellulose, mixtures of ionic liquids based on 1-n-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium with pyridine, were found. In ionic liquid-pyridine mixtures, cellulose is dispersed on the molecular level. The cellulose-ionic liquid-pyridine systems with 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium diethyl phosphate are stable in time. The dynamic viscosity and refractive index of the mixtures can be controlled by varying the ionic liquid to pyridine ratio. The viscometric and dynamooptical properties of cellulose in these mixtures were compared with those in Cadoxen.     

Excess enthalpy,density, and heat capacity for binary systems of alkylimidazolium-based ionic liquids + water

Experimental measurements of excess molar enthalpy, density, and isobaric molar heat capacity are presented for a set of binary systems ionic liquid + water as a function of temperature at atmospheric pressure. The studied ionic liquids are 1-butyl-3-methylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethylsulfate, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium methylsulfate, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate, and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate. Excess molar enthalpy was measured at 303.15 K whereas density and heat capacity were determined within the temperature range (293.15 to 318.15) K. From experimental data, excess molar volume and excess molar isobaric heat capacity were calculated. The analysis of the excess properties reveals important differences between the studied ionic liquids which can be ascribed to their capability to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules.     

Tunable synthesis of propylene glycol ether from methanol and propylene oxide under ambient pressure

A series of basic and acidic ionic liquids, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydroxide (BMIMOH), 1-acetyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (AcMIMCl) and AcMIMCl-FeCl₃, or analogues of AcMIMCl, namely 1-potassium acetate-3-methylimidazolium chloride (KAcMIMCl), 1-potassium (sodium, ammonium) acetate-3-methylimidazolium hydroxides (KAcMIMOH, NaAcMIMOH and NH₄AcMIMOH), were prepared and used as catalysts for catalytic synthesis of propylene glycol ether via reaction of propylene oxide (PO) with methanol under mild reaction conditions. KAcMIMOH exhibited outstanding catalytic performance with 94.2% of conversion of PO and 99.1% of selectivity to 1-methoxy-2-propanol (MP-2) at 60°C and ambient pressure for 4 h. However, AcMIMCl-FeCl₃ showed a good catalysis performance with high selectivity to 2-methoxy-1-propanol (MP-1). The tunable synthesis of MP-2 or MP-1 catalyzed by basic compound KAcMIMOH or acidic ionic liquid AcMIMCl-FeCl₃ was realized.
