合成了基于烷基咪唑的乳酸离子液体[C4mim][Lact](1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑乳酸盐),并用1HNMR和DSC作了表征.由于乳酸离子液体和水易形成氢键,用通常的办法很难除去乳酸离子液体中的杂质水.为了排除杂质水的干扰,应用了标准加入法,配制一系列含有已知微量水的乳酸离子液体样品,在308.15～343.15K温度范围,用重量法测定了这些样品的密度,用最大气泡法测定了表面张力,用折光率确定了摩尔极化度,然后外推得到无水离子液体数据.在这些实验数据基础上,利用等张比容的加和性,估算了乳酸离子液体同系物[Cnmim][Lact](n=2,3,4,5,6)的表面张力、折射率、摩尔极化度、汽化焓和热膨胀系数,与实验数据相比有较好的一致性.     

Prediction of thermophysical properties of novel ionic liquids based on serine [Cnmim][Ser] (n = 3, 4) using semiempirical methods

Two novel ionic liquids based on serine [C_nmim][Ser] (n = 3, 4) were prepared by the neutralization method and their structures were confirmed by ¹H NMR spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The density, surface tension, and refractive index of the two ILs were measured from T = (298.15 to 338.15) K. Since these ILs [C_nmim][Ser] (n = 3, 4) could form strong hydrogen bonds with water, small amount of water in the ILs is difficult to removed by common methods. In order to eliminate the effect of trace of water, the standard addition method (SAM) was applied to these measurements. On the basis of the experimental data, the speed of sound (μ), thermal expansion coefficient (α), molecular volume (V_m), standard entropy (S⁰298), entropy of surface (S_a), energy of surface (E_a), parachor (P), molar polarization (R_m), and polarization coefficient (α_p) were calculated, and the relationship between each of these properties of [C_nmim][Ser] (n = 3, 4) and temperatures was discussed. According to the additivity, the average value of anionic parachor, P_−(ave), was 180.81 for [Ser]⁻. At the same time, the surface tension of these serine ionic liquids could be estimated from their parachor and refractive index. The estimated values of the surface tension and the corresponding experimental data were almost identical.     

The ionic parachor and predicting properties of amino acid ionic liquid homologues of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium glycine

The amino acid ionic liquids(AAILs) [C3mim][Gly](1-propyl-3-methylimidazolium glycine) and [C4mim][Gly](1-butyl-3methylimidazolium glycine) have been prepared by the neutralization method and characterized by 1 H NMR spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry(DSC).The values of their density,surface tension and refractive index were measured at(298.15 ± 0.05) K.Since the AAILs can form strong hydrogen bonds with water,small amounts of water are difficult to remove from the AAILs by common methods.In order to eliminate the effect of the impurity water,the standard addition method(SAM) was applied to these measurements.A new concept which is called the ionic parachor has been put forward.The [C n mim] + cations were treated as a group of reference ions and the individual values of their ionic parachor were evaluated in terms of an extrathermodynamic assumption.Then,using the values of the ionic parachor of reference ions,the parachor,surface tension γ and refractive index n D of the ionic liquids investigated in this work were estimated.The estimated values correlate quite well with the corresponding experimental values.     

The surface tension,density and refractive index of amino acid ionic liquids: [C3mim][Gly] and [C4mim][Gly]

The amino acid ionic liquids (AAILs) [C₃mim][Gly] (1-propyl-3-methylimidazolium glycine) and [C₄mim][Gly] (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium glycine) have been prepared by the neutralization method and characterized by ¹H NMR spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The values of their density, surface tension and refractive index were measured at different temperatures. Since the AAILs can form strong hydrogen bonds with water, small amounts of water are difficult to remove from the AAILs by common methods. In order to eliminate the effect of the impurity as water, the standard addition method (SAM) was applied to these measurements. The values of thermal expansion coefficients, α, surface excess energy, E_a, surface excess entropy, S_a, and molar refraction, R_m, for the AAILs were determined.     

Estimation of physico-chemical properties of ionic liquid [C7mim][BF4]

Ionic liquid (IL) [C₇mim][BF₄] (1-heptyl-3-methyl-imidazolium tetrafluoroborate) was prepared and characterized. The density and surface tension of the IL were determined in the temperature range of 293.15–343.15 K. In terms of Glasser's theory, the standard molar entropy and lattice energy of the IL were estimated. Using Kabo's method, the molar enthalpy of vaporization of the IL, Δ_l^gH_m⁰ (298 K), was estimated. According to the interstice model, the thermal expansion coefficient of IL, α, was calculated and in comparison with experimental value, they are within one order of magnitude.     

The Enthalpy of Solution of the Alanine-Based Ionic Liquid [C<Subscript>4</Subscript>mim][Ala]

The molar enthalpies of solution of an alanine-based ionic liquid (IL) [C₄mim][Ala], 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium alanine, containing various amount of water and various molalities Δ_sol H _m(wc), were measured with a solution-reaction isoperibol calorimeter at (298.15±0.01) K, where wc denotes water content. According to Archer’s method, the standard molar enthalpies of solution of [C₄mim][Ala] containing known amounts of water, D_solH_m^o(wc)\Delta_{\mathrm{sol}}H_{\mathrm{m}}^{\mathrm{o}}(\mathrm{wc}) , were obtained. In order to eliminate the effect of the small amount of residual water in the source [C₄mim][Ala], a linear fitting of D_solH_m^o(wc)\Delta_{\mathrm{sol}}H_{\mathrm{m}}^{\mathrm{o}}(\mathrm{wc}) against water content was carried out, yielding a good straight line where the intercept is the standard molar enthalpy of solution of anhydrous [C₄mim][Ala], D_solH_m^o(pure IL)=-(61.42±0.08)\Delta_{\mathrm{sol}}H_{\mathrm{m}}^{\mathrm{o}}(\mathrm{pure}\ \mathrm{IL})=-(61.42\pm 0.08) kJ⋅mol⁻¹. The hydration enthalpy of the alanine anion [Ala]⁻ was estimated using Glasser’s lattice energy theory.     

The salting-out effect and phase separation in aqueous solutions of tri-sodium citrate and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide

The aim of this work is to obtain further evidence about the salting-out effect produced by the addition of tri-sodium citrate to aqueous solutions of water miscible ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([C₄mim][Br]) by evaluating the effect of tri-sodium citrate on the thermodynamic properties of aqueous solutions of this ionic liquid. Experimental measurements of density and sound velocity at different temperatures ranging from (288.15 to 308.15) K, the refractive index at 308.15 K and the liquid–liquid phase diagram at different temperatures ranging from (288.15 to 338.15) K for aqueous solutions containing 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([C₄mim][Br]) and tri-sodium citrate (Na₃Cit) are taken. The apparent molar volume of transfer of [C₄mim][Br] from water to aqueous solutions of Na₃Cit have positive values and it increases by increasing salt molality. Although at high IL molality, the apparent molar isentropic compressibility shows similar behaviour with that of the apparent molar volume. However at low concentrations of IL, the apparent molar isentropic compressibility of transfer of [C₄mim][Br] from water to aqueous solutions of Na₃Cit have negative values. The effects of temperature and the addition of Na₃Cit and [C₄mim][Br] on the liquid–liquid phase diagram of the investigated system have been studied. It was found that an increase in temperature caused the expansion of the one-phase region. The presence of Na₃Cit triggers a salting-out effect, leading to significant upward shifts of the liquid–liquid de-mixing temperatures of the system. The effect of temperature on the phase-forming ability in the system investigated has been studied based on a salting-out coefficient obtained from fitting the binodal values to a Setschenow-type equation for each temperature. Based on cloud point values, the energetics of the clouding process have been estimated and it was found that both of entropy and enthalpy are the driving forces for biphasic formation.     

Study on the enthalpy of solution and enthalpy of dilution for the ionic liquid [C3mim][Val] (1-propyl-3-methylimidazolium valine)

A new amino acid ionic liquid (AAIL) [C₃mim][Val] (1-propyl-3-methylimidazolium valine) was prepared by the neutralization method. Using the solution-reaction isoperibol calorimeter, molar solution enthalpies of the ionic liquid [C₃mim][Val] with known amounts of water and with different concentrations in molality were measured at T = 298.15 K. In terms of standard addition method (SAM) and Archer’s method, the standard molar enthalpy of solution for [C₃mim][Val] without water, ${\mathrm{\Delta }}_{\text{s}}{H}_{\text{m}}^{\circ }$ = (−55.7 ± 0.4) kJ · mol⁻¹, was obtained. The hydration enthalpy of the cation [C₃mim]⁺, ΔH₊ ([C₃mim]⁺) = −226 kJ · mol⁻¹, was estimated in terms of Glasser’s theory. Using the RD496-III heat conduction microcalorimeter, the molar enthalpies of dilution, Δ_DH_m(m_i → m_f), of aqueous [C₃mim][Val] with various values of molality were measured. The values of Δ_DH_m(m_i → m_f) were fitted to Pitzer’s ion-interaction model and the values of apparent relative molar enthalpy, ^φL, calculated using Pitzer’s ion-interaction model.     

Studies on thermochemical properties of ionic liquids based on transition metal

A brown and transparent ionic liquid (IL), [C₄mim][FeCl₄], was prepared by mixing anhydrous FeCl₃ with 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([C₄mim][Cl]), with molar ratio 1/1 under stirring in a glove box filled with dry argon. The molar enthalpies of solution, Δ_s H _m, of [C₄mim][FeCl₄], in water with various molalities were determined by a solution-reaction isoperibol calorimeter at 298.15 K. Considering the hydrolyzation of anion [FeCl₄]⁻ in dissolution process of the IL, a new method of determining the standard molar enthalpy of solution, Δ_s H _m⁰, was put forward on the bases of Pitzer solution theory of mixed electrolytes. The values of Δ_s H _m⁰ and the sum of Pitzer parameters: and were obtained, respectively. In terms of thermodynamic cycle and the lattice energy of IL calculated by Glasser’s lattice energy theory of ILs, the dissociation enthalpy of anion [FeCl₄]⁻, ΔH _dis≈5650 kJ mol⁻¹, for the reaction: [FeCl₄]⁻(g)→Fe³⁺(g)+4Cl⁻(g), was estimated. It is shown that large hydration enthalpies of ions have been compensated by large the dissociation enthalpy of [FeCl₄]⁻ anion, Δ_d H _m, in dissolution process of the IL.

Investigations on the Physicochemical and Radiolytic Degradation Properties of Tri-<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-butylphosphate–Ionic Liquid in the Presence of Nitric Acid

Tri-n-butylphosphate (TBP) in an ionic liquid (IL) has been proposed as a suitable alternative for the solvent extraction of actinides from nitric acid solutions. This paper reports the detailed investigations on the physicochemical and hydrodynamic properties of the solvent system containing TBP in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ([C₄mim][NTf₂]) IL. The properties such as density, viscosity, phase separation time (PST), etc., were measured for irradiated and unirradiated solvent phases composed of TBP, [C₄mim][NTf₂] and 1.1 mol·L^–1 TBP in [C₄mim][NTf₂]. The results are compared with the values obtained in acid-equilibrated IL phases. ATR–FTIR spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering measurement of the IL phase were employed to characterize the interactions among the IL, TBP and nitric acid medium, and the aggregate size of the adduct formed in the IL phase.     

Effect of additives on the surface active and morphological features of 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium halide aggregates in aqueous media

The influence of two salts as additives namely sodium chloride and sodium sulphate and a nonelectrolyte, 2-butoxyethanol on surface chemical and aggregation characteristics of ionic liquids (IL) of 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, [C₈mim][Cl], 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide, [C₈mim][Br], and 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium iodide, [C₈mim][I] in aqueous media were monitored through surface tension and small angle neutron scattering measurements. The addition of salts drastically decreased the critical aggregation concentration (CAC) and increased the area per adsorbed IL molecule. The co-ions of salts modify the surface of IL molecules and aggregates through various interactions such as charge neutralization, specific interactions and dehydration The results obtained by analyzing the SANS curves in the whole Q range showed that the oblate ellipsoidal shape of the aggregates of ionic liquids is un-altered upon the addition of additives. However the additives facilitate the growth of the aggregates in to microstructures with cubic packing at high salt concentrations.     

Effect of electrolytes on surface tension and surface adsorption of 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ionic liquid in aqueous solution

Surface and bulk properties of 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [C₆mim][Cl] as an ionic liquid (IL) have been investigated by surface tension and electrical conductivity techniques at various temperatures. Results reveal that the ionic liquid behaves as surfactant-like and aggregates in aqueous solution. Critical aggregation concentration (cac) values obtained by conductivity and surface tension measurements are in good agreement with values found in the literature. A series of important and useful adsorption parameters including cac, surface excess concentration (Γ), and minimum surface area per molecule (A_min) at the air + water interface were estimated from surface tension in the presence and absence of different electrolytes. Obtained data show that the surface tension as well as the cac of [C₆mim][Cl] is reduced by electrolytes. Also, values of surface excess concentration (Γ) show that the IL ions in the presence of electrolyte have much larger affinity to adsorption at the surface and this affinity increased in aqueous electrolyte solution in the order of I^? > Br^? > Cl^? for counter ion of salts that was explained in terms of a larger repulsion of chloride anions from interface to the bromide and iodide anion as well as difference in their excess polarizability.     

Extraction and high performance liquid chromatographic determination of 3-indole butyric acid in pea plants by using imidazolium-based ionic liquids as extractant

In this paper, imidazolium-based ionic liquids [C₄mim][PF₆], [C₆mim][PF₆], [C₈mim][PF₆], [C₆mim][BF₄] and [C₈mim][BF₄] were tested as extracting solvents for removal of 3-indole butyric acid (IBA) from aqueous media with subsequent determination using HPLC. Percent extraction of IBA was strongly affected by pH of aqueous phases and the chemical structures of ionic liquids (ILs). Extraction of IBA was quantitative in the pH values lower than pK_a of IBA. Considering both extraction and stripping efficiencies of IBA, [C₄mim][PF₆] was found to act more efficient than other studied ILs. Capacity of [C₄mim][PF₆] was 17.6 × 10⁻⁴ mmol IBA per 1.0 mL of IL. Ionic strength of aqueous phase and temperature had shown no serious effects on extraction efficiency of IBA. A preconcentration factor of 100 and a relative standard deviation of 1.16% were obtained. It was found that ionic liquid phase was reusable almost five times for extraction/stripping purposes. 3-Indole acetic acid showed interferential effect in the extraction step. In order to assess the applicability of the method, extraction and stripping of IBA from pea plants and some other samples were studied.     

Physicochemical and excess properties of binary mixtures of (1-alkyl-3-methylimidazoliumchloride/bromide + ethylene glycol) at <Emphasis Type="Italic">T</Emphasis> = (288.15 to 333.15) K

In the present work, the density, ρ, refractive index, n_D, and dynamic viscosity, η, for four binary solutions containing ionic liquids [C_nmim]X (C_nmim = 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium; n = 6, 8; X = Cl, Br) and ethylene glycol (EG) were investigated at temperatures of 288.15–333.15 K and at ambient pressure. In addition, the excess molar volume, V_m^E, was calculated and correlated using the Redlich-Kister polynomial equation. The temperature effect on the density of the binary systems studied was expressed by a linear two-parameter equation. The variation in density, refractive index, and viscosity with the composition was described by polynomial equations. The influence of carbon chain-length and the anion of the ionic liquids, and the influence of the temperature on the physicochemical properties of the binary systems can be explained by comparison of the experimental results.     

Ionic liquid assisted synthesis of flowerlike Cu2O micro-nanocrystals

Novel flowerlike Cu2O micro-nanocrystals were prepared by a greener reductive reaction of cupric acetate monohydrate with ethylene glycol in aqueous solutions of [C8mim]X (X = Cl , Br , BF4 , PF6 ) and [Cnmim][BF4] (n = 4, 6, 8). The obtained microstructures of Cu2O were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR). The effects of cations, anions and concentration of the ionic liquids on the morphology of Cu2O were examined in some details. The results suggest that the formation of flowerlike Cu2O was governed by a [C8mim][BF4] controlled reductive reaction mechanism. As one of their applications, the Cu2O nanoparticles were used for the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue in aqueous solution, and high photocatalytic activity was observed.     

Calorimetric Study on the Ion Pairing and Aggregation of 1-Ethyl-3-Methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide ([C2mim][NTf2]) and Related Ionic Liquids in the Low-Dielectric Constant Solvent Chloroform

A calorimetric study of dissolution of the ionic liquids (ILs) 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide ([C₂mim][NTf₂]), 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide ([C₆mim][NTf₂]), and 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium tris(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)methide ([C₆mim][CTf₃]) into chloroform (CHCl₃) is presented with particular focus on [C₂mim][NTf₂]. The interpretation of the calorimetric data for [C₂mim][NTf₂] was aided by additional NMR self-diffusion measurements and viscosity measurements that through the Stokes–Einstein equation provided information about the average size of the species present. It is evident that the main equilibrium species are ion pairs and aggregates. An estimate for the enthalpy contribution from aggregate formation for [C₂mim][NTf₂] was found to be ?2.09 kJ per mol of added IL at 288.2 K and slightly decreasing in magnitude to ?1.11 kJ·mol^?1 at 318.2 K. While all three ILs release heat upon dissolution into CHCl₃, different temperature trends are observed demonstrating the fine balance of competing contributions from breaking IL interactions, cavity formation for the solutes to reside in, and the establishment of new solute–solvent interactions.     

Separation of no-carrier-added 109Cd from natural silver target using RTIL 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate

The room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [C₄mim][PF₆] has various applications in the separation of a range of metal ions replacing volatile and toxic traditional organic solvents in liquid–liquid extraction systems. In this study, the RTIL [C₄mim][PF₆] was used to separate no-carrier-added (NCA) ¹⁰⁹Cd from α-particle irradiated Ag target. A natural Ag foil was bombarded by 30 MeV α-particles to produce ¹⁰⁹Cd. After the decay of all co-produced short-lived products, NCA ¹⁰⁹Cd was separated from the bulk Ag using [C₄mim][PF₆] as extractant from HNO₃ medium. Ammoniumpyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (APDC) was used as a complexing agent. At the optimum condition, 3 M HNO₃, 0.01 M APDC in presence of [C₄mim][PF₆], ~99 % bulk Ag was extracted to the IL phase, leaving NCA ¹⁰⁹Cd in the aqueous phase. The amount of Ag became negligibly small after re-extraction in the same condition. The ionic liquid was recovered by washing it with 1 M HCl.     

Ionic Association of the Ionic Liquids [C4mim][BF4], [C4mim][PF6], and [Cnmim]Br in Molecular Solvents

Considering the ionic nature of ionic liquids (ILs), ionic association is expected to be essential in solutions of ILs and to have an important influence on their applications. Although numerous studies have been reported for the ionic association behavior of ILs in solution, quantitative results are quite scarce. Herein, the conductivities of the ILs [C_nmim]Br (n=4, 6, 8, 10, 12), [C₄mim][BF₄], and [C₄mim][PF₆] in various molecular solvents (water, methanol, 1‐propanol, 1‐pentanol, acetonitrile, and acetone) are determined at 298.15 K as a function of IL concentration. The conductance data are analyzed by the Lee–Wheaton conductivity equation in terms of the ionic association constant (K_A) and the limiting molar conductance (Λ_m⁰). Combined with the values for the Br^? anion reported in the literature, the limiting molar conductivities and the transference numbers of the cations and [BF₄]^? and [PF₆]^? anions are calculated in the molecular solvents. It is shown that the alkyl chain length of the cations and type of anion affect the ionic association constants and limiting molar conductivities of the ILs. For a given anion (Br^?), the Λ_m⁰ values decrease with increasing alkyl chain length of the cations in all the molecular solvents, whereas the K_A values of the ILs decrease in organic solvents but increase in water as the alkyl chain length of the cations increases. For the [C₄mim]⁺ cation, the limiting molar conductivities of the ILs decrease in the order Br^?>[BF₄]^?>[PF₆]^?, and their ionic association constants follow the order [BF₄]^?>[PF₆]^?>Br^? in water, acetone, and acetonitrile. Furthermore, and similar to the classical electrolytes, a linear relationship is observed between ln K_A of the ILs and the reciprocal of the dielectric constants of the molecular solvents. The ILs are solvated to a different extent by the molecular solvents, and ionic association is affected significantly by ionic solvation. This information is expected to be useful for the modulation of the IL conductance by the alkyl chain length of the cations, type of anion, and physical properties of the molecular solvents.     

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.
