Thermodynamic modeling of the phase behavior of binary systems of ionic liquids and carbon dioxide with the group contribution equation of state

The group contribution equation of state (GC-EOS) was applied to predict the phase behavior of binary systems of ionic liquids of the homologous families 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate and tetrafluoroborate with CO2. Pure group parameters for the new ionic liquid functional groups [-mim][PF6] and [-mim][BF4] and interaction parameters between these groups and the paraffin (CH3, CH2) and CO2 groups were estimated. The GC-EOS extended with the new parameters was applied to predict high-pressure phase equilibria in binary mixtures of the ionic liquids [emim][PF6], [bmim][PF6], [hmim][PF6], [bmim][BF4], [hmim][BF4], and [omim][BF4] with CO2. The agreement between experimental and predicted bubble point data for the ionic liquids was excellent for pressures up to 20 MPa, and even for pressures up to about 100 MPa, the agreement was good. The results show the capability of the GC-EOS to describe phase equilibria of systems consisting of ionic liquids.     

Nucleophilicity in ionic liquids. 3. Anion effects on halide nucleophilicity in a series of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium ionic liquids

We have continued the study of halide nucleophilicity in ionic liquids, concentrating on the effect of changing the anion ([BF(4)](-), [PF(6)](-), [SbF(6)](-), [OTf](-), and [N(Tf)(2)](-)) when the cation is [bmim](+) (where bmim = 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium). It was found that the nucleophilicities of all the halides were lower in all of the ionic liquids than in dichloromethane. Changing the anion affected the order of halide nucleophilicity, e.g., in [bmim][BF(4)] the order of nucleophilicity was Cl(-)>Br(-)>I(-) while in [bmim][N(Tf)(2)] the order was Cl(-)相似文献   

Dynamics of solvent and rotational relaxation of coumarin-153 in room-temperature ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium tetrafluoroborate confined in poly(oxyethylene glycol) ethers containing micelles

We have investigated solvent and rotational relaxation of coumarin 153 (C-153) in room-temperature ionic liquid (RTILs) 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim][BF(4)]) and the ionic liquid confined in alkyl poly(oxyethylene glycol) ethers containing micelles. We have used octaethylene glycol monotetradecyl ether (C(14)E(8)) and octaethylene glycol monododecyl ether (C(12)E(8)) as surfactants. In the [bmim][BF(4)]-C(14)E(8) micelle, we have observed only a 22% increase in solvation time compared to neat [bmim][BF(4)], whereas in the [bmim][BF(4)]-C(12)E(8) system, we have observed approximately 57% increase in average solvation time due to micelle formation. However, the slowing down in solvation time on going from neat RTIL to RTIL-confined micelles is much smaller compared to that on going from water to water confined micellar aggregates. The 22-57% increase in solvation time is attributed to the slowing down of collective motions of cations and anions in micelles. The rotational relaxation times become faster in both the micelles compare to neat [bmim][BF(4)].     

Generalizations of the Fuoss approximation for ion pairing

An elementary statistical observation identifies generalizations of the Fuoss approximation for the probability distribution function that describes ion clustering in electrolyte solutions. The simplest generalization, equivalent to a Poisson distribution model for inner-shell occupancy, exploits measurable interionic correlation functions, and is correct at the closest pair distances whether primitive electrolyte solutions models or molecularly detailed models are considered, and for low electrolyte concentrations in all cases. With detailed models, these generalizations include nonionic interactions and solvation effects. These generalizations are relevant for computational analysis of bimolecular reactive processes in solution. Comparisons with direct numerical simulation results show that the simplest generalization is accurate for a slightly supersaturated solution of tetraethylammonium tetrafluoroborate in propylene carbonate ([tea][BF(4)]/PC), and also for a primitive model associated with the [tea][BF(4)]/PC results. For [tea][BF(4)]/PC, the atomically detailed results identify solvent-separated nearest-neighbor ion-pairs. This generalization is examined also for the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim][BF(4)]) where the simplest implementation is less accurate. In this more challenging situation an augmented maximum entropy procedure is satisfactory, and explains the more varied near-neighbor distributions observed in that case.     

添加中低浓度离子液体[bmim][BF4]对吐温-20临界胶束浓度和胶束结构的影响

添加离子液体会对表面活性剂在水溶液中的聚集行为产生重要影响。本文研究了吐温-20在中低浓度离子液体四氟硼酸1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑鎓([bmim][BF_4])中的胶束化行为。随着[bmim][BF_4]浓度(cIL)从0增加到0.2mol·L~(-1),吐温-20的临界胶束浓度逐渐增大。相比cIL0.05mol·L~(-1),在cIL0.05mol·L~(-1)时加入[bmim][BF_4]使吐温-20临界胶束浓度增大得更加显著。吐温-20胶束聚集数随着离子液体浓度的增加而逐渐减小,这一结果也说明加入离子液体会对吐温-20胶束的生成有抑制作用。吐温-20胶束化热力学研究表明,吐温-20在不同浓度离子液体中的胶束化是熵、焓共同驱动,并具有熵-焓补偿性。随着离子液体浓度的增加,吐温-20胶束平均粒径和胶束微粘性均表现出先增大后减小的变化,在cIL=0.05mol·L~(-1)时达到最大值。     

Concentration-dependent dual behavior of hydrophilic ionic liquid in changing properties of aqueous sodium dodecyl sulfate

Modifying physicochemical properties of aqueous surfactant solutions in favorable fashion by addition of environmentally benign room-temperature ionic liquids (ILs) has enormous future potential. Due to its unusual properties, an IL may demonstrate a unique role in altering the properties of aqueous surfactant solutions. Changes in the properties of aqueous sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), an anionic surfactant, upon addition of a common and popular "hydrophilic" ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [bmim][BF4] are presented. Addition of low concentrations of [bmim][BF4] (i.e., 相似文献   

Thermodynamic modeling of hydrogen sulfide solubility in ionic liquids using modified SAFT-VR and PC-SAFT equations of state

Equations of state based on the statistical associating fluid theory for potentials of variable range (SAFT-VR) and the perturbed chain statistical associating fluid theory (PC-SAFT) have been used to model the PVT behavior of ionic liquids and the solubility of H₂S in six imidazolium-based ionic liquids. The studied systems included [bmim][PF6], [hmim][PF6], [bmim][BF4], [hmim][BF4], [bmim][NTF2] and [hmim][NTF2] at various temperatures and pressures.For pure components, parameters of the models have been obtained by fitting the models to experimental data on liquid densities; the average relative deviation between the calculated and experimental densities for ionic liquids is less than 2.42% in the PC-SAFT model and 5.44% in the SAFT-VR approach, the latter which incorporates the square-well potential for short-range interactions. In both models an additional term has been added to account for dipole-dipole interactions between solute molecules resulting from the permanent charges on the chain molecules of the solvents. The model parameters have also been correlated as functions of the molecular weight of the solvents. For binary mixtures of ionic liquids and H₂S, the association interactions between H₂S molecules and between the ionic liquids and H₂S molecules have also been taken into account in both approaches, using binary interaction coefficients. The results show an average deviation of less than 5% in the calculation of the mole fraction of H₂S in the ionic liquids. The effect of inclusion of the polar term has been studied for binary systems in both models.     

Molecular dynamics simulation of room-temperature ionic liquid mixture of [bmim][BF4] and acetonitrile by a refined force field

1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim][BF4]) is one of the promising room-temperature ionic liquids. To test the refined force field for [bmim][BF4] proposed in our previously work (J. Phys. Chem. B, 2004, 108, 12978-12989), thermodynamic properties of mixtures of [bmim][BF4](1)+ acetonitrile (2) are presented by using molecular dynamics over the whole concentration range. The calculated densities are in good agreement with the experimental data with deviations less than 2%, indicating the force field is applicable to the mixtures. In addition, the diffusion constants, viscosities, heats of vaporization, cohesive energy densities and excess properties of the mixtures are reported. The microscopic structures are discussed in detail, corresponding to the thermodynamic properties.     

Ionic liquid induced changes in the properties of aqueous zwitterionic surfactant solution

Modifying properties of aqueous surfactant solutions by addition of external additives is an important area of research. Unusual properties of ionic liquids (ILs) make them ideal candidates for this purpose. Changes in important physicochemical properties of aqueous zwitterionic N-dodecyl- N, N-dimethyl-3-ammonio-1-propanesulfonate (SB-12) surfactant solution upon addition of hydrophilic IL 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, [bmim][BF 4], are reported. Dynamic light scattering results indicate a dramatic reduction in the average micellar size in the presence of [bmim][BF 4]; micellar (or micelle-like) aggregation in the presence of as high as 30 wt % [bmim][BF 4] is confirmed. Responses from fluorescence probes are used to obtain critical micelle concentration (cmc), aggregation number ( N agg), and dipolarity and microfluidity of the micellar pseudophase of aqueous SB-12 in the presence of [bmim][BF 4]. In general, increasing the amount of [bmim][BF 4] to 30 wt % results in decrease in N agg and increase in cmc. Increase in the dipolarity and the microfluidity of the probe cybotactic region within the micellar pseudophase is observed on increasing [bmim][BF 4] concentration in the solution. It is attributed to increased water penetration into the micellar pseudophase as [bmim][BF 4] is added to aqueous SB-12. It is proposed that IL [bmim][BF 4] behaves similar to an electrolyte and/or a cosurfactant when present at low concentrations and as a polar cosolvent when present at high concentrations. Electrostatic attraction between cation of IL and anion of zwitterion, and anion of IL and cation of zwitterion at low concentrations of [bmim][BF 4] is evoked to explain the observed changes. Presence of IL as cosolvent appears to reduce the efficiency of micellization process by reducing the hydrophobic effect.     

Unique role of hydrophilic ionic liquid in modifying properties of aqueous Triton X-100

Modification of important physicochemical properties of aqueous surfactant solutions can be achieved by addition of environmentally benign room temperature ionic liquids (ILs). While low aqueous solubility of "hydrophobic" ILs limits the amount of IL that may be added to achieve desired changes in the physicochemical properties, hydrophilic ILs do not have such restrictions associated to them. Alterations in the key physicochemical properties of aqueous solutions of a common nonionic surfactant Triton X-100 (TX100) on addition of up to 30 wt % hydrophilic IL 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim][BF4]) are reported. The presence of micellar aggregates in as high as 30 wt % [bmim][BF4]-added aqueous TX100 solutions is established by dynamic light scattering and fluorescence probe behavior. Increasing the concentration of [bmim][BF4] results in decrease in average micellar size and aggregation number and increase in critical micelle concentration, indicating an overall unfavorable aggregation process. Increase in the dipolarity and the microfluidity of the probe cybotactic region within the palisade layer of the micellar phase upon [bmim][BF4] addition implies increased water penetration and the possibility of TX100-[bmim][BF4] interactions. While the changes in some of the physicochemical properties indicate the role of [bmim][BF4] to be similar to a cosurfactant, the IL acts like a cosolvent as far as changes in other properties are concerned. Effectiveness of IL [bmim][BF4] in modifying physicochemical properties of aqueous TX100 is demonstrated.     

Thermal effect on C-H stretching vibrations of the imidazolium ring in ionic liquids

We have studied temperature dependent IR spectra of the C-H stretching modes of the imidazolium ring in [bmim][PF(6)], [bmim][Tf(2)N], [emim][Tf(2)N], [hmim][Tf(2)N], and [bmim][BF(4)]. Temperatures in this study are from 278 to 348 K at an interval of 10 K. Spectra of the C-H stretching modes have been deconvoluted using our previous computer program of the Voigt-lineshape function. Frequency shifts, Lorentzian spectral widths, and band absorbance were examined as a function of temperature. In order to interpret the observed behaviors, we have developed a simple mechanical model as well as a chemical equilibrium model. The model analyses suggest that enthalpy changes for the cluster and/or ion-pair breaking reactions in the liquid state are several kJ mol(-1) endothermic, and the degree of dissociations of ion pairs or hydrogen bonded clusters is in the range from 0.3 to 0.9 with different magnitudes for the five ionic liquids.     

Poly(ionic liquid)s: a new material with enhanced and fast CO2 absorption

Novel sorbent and membrane materials for CO2 separation, poly(ionic liquid)s made from ionic liquid monomers, poly[p-vinylbenzyltrimethyl ammonium tetrafluoroborate](P[VBTMA][BF4]) and poly[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyltrimethylamnonium tetrafluoroborate](P[MATMA][BF4]) have absorption capacities 7.6 and 6.0 times of those of room-temperature ionic liquids, e.g.[bmim][BF4], respectively, with reversible and fast sorption and desorption.     

Study of aromatic nucleophilic substitution with amines on nitrothiophenes in room-temperature ionic liquids: are the different effects on the behavior of para-like and ortho-like isomers on going from conventional solvents to room-temperature ionic liquids related to solvation effects?

The kinetics of the nucleophilic aromatic substitution of some 2-L-5-nitrothiophenes (para-like isomers) with three different amines (pyrrolidine, piperidine, and morpholine) were studied in three room-temperature ionic liquids ([bmim][BF4], [bmim][PF6], and [bm(2)im][BF4], where bmim = 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium and bm(2)im = 1-butyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium). To calculate thermodynamic parameters, a useful instrument to gain information concerning reagent-solvent interactions, the reaction was carried out over the temperature range 293-313 K. The reaction occurs faster in ionic liquids than in conventional solvents (methanol, benzene), a dependence of rate constants on amine concentration similar to that observed in methanol, suggesting a parallel behavior. The above reaction also was studied with 2-bromo-3-nitrothiophene, an ortho-like derivative able to give peculiar intramolecular interactions in the transition state, which are strongly affected by the reaction medium.

Cu(I)(bpp)]BF4: the first extended coordination network prepared solvothermally in an ionic liquid solvent

Use of an ionic liquid [bmim][BF4] (bmim = 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium) as solvent has resulted in the first extended coordination structure, the two-dimensional network [Cu(bpp)]BF4 [bpp = 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane], produced via a solvothermal route.     

Compressed CO2-enhanced solubilization of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate in reverse micelles of Triton X-100

We carried out the first study about the effect of a compressed gas on the properties of reverse micellar solutions with ionic liquid (IL) polar cores. And the properties of compressed CO2/cyclohexane/1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim][BF4])/Triton X-100 (TX-100) system were investigated at 288.2, 293.2, 298.2, 308.2 K and different pressures by using phase behavior measurement, small-angle x-ray scattering, and UV-Vis techniques. The concentration of the surfactant in the solution was 0.3 mol/l (M). It was found that compressed CO2 could enhance solubilization of the IL in the reverse micelles considerably at suitable pressures, and formation of the reverse micelles could be controlled easily by pressure. Increase of CO2 pressure resulted in decrease of the micellar sizes at fixed [bmim][BF4]-to-surfactant molar ratios (w), and the size of the reverse micelles increased with the increase of w values. The polarity of the IL cores increased continuously with increasing w value.     

Ionic liquids/[bmim][N3] mixtures: promising media for the synthesis of aryl azides by SNAr

The nucleophilic aromatic substitution of some activated aryl or heteroaryl halides has been performed in ionic liquid solution, using the 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium azide as a nucleophile. The reaction course was studied varying the structures of both substrates and ionic liquids. In particular, in the latter case, the reaction of 2-bromo-5-nitrothiophene was carried out in five different ionic liquids ([bmim][BF 4], [bmim][PF 6], [bmim][NTf 2], [bm 2im][NTf 2], and [bmpyrr][NTf 2]). Finally, for all the substrates considered, a comparison with data obtained in MeOH solution in the presence of NaN 3 was also performed. Data collected indicate that in some cases it is possible to obtain aromatic or heteroaromatic azide derivatives in satisfactory yield by means of a S NAr reaction using [bmim][N 3] as the nucleophile.

Ionic liquid-induced unprecedented size enhancement of aggregates within aqueous sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate

Physicochemical properties of aqueous micellar solutions may change in the presence of ionic liquids (ILs). Micelles help to increase the aqueous solubility of ILs. The average size of the micellar aggregates within aqueous sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) is observed by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to increase in a sudden and drastic fashion as the IL 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([bmim][PF(6)]) is added. Similar addition of [bmim][PF(6)] to aqueous sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) results in only a slow gradual increase in average aggregate size. While addition of the IL [bmim][BF(4)] also gives rise to sudden aggregate size enhancement within aqueous SDBS, the IL 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([emim][BF(4)]), and inorganic salts NaPF(6) and NaBF(4), only gradually increase the assembly size upon their addition. Bulk dynamic viscosity, microviscosity, dipolarity (indicated by the fluorescent reporter pyrene), zeta potential, and electrical conductance measurements were taken to gain insight into this unusual size enhancement. It is proposed that bmim(+) cations of the IL undergo Coulombic attractive interactions with anionic headgroups at the micellar surface at all [bmim][PF(6)] concentrations in aqueous SDS; in aqueous SDBS, beyond a critical IL concentration, bmim(+) becomes involved in cation-π interaction with the phenyl moiety of SDBS within micellar aggregates with the butyl group aligned along the alkyl chain of the surfactant. This relocation of bmim(+) results in an unprecedented size increase in micellar aggregates. Aromaticity of the IL cation alongside the presence of sufficiently aliphatic (butyl or longer) alkyl chains on the IL appear to be essential for this dramatic critical expansion in self-assembly dimensions within aqueous SDBS.     

1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium p-toluenesulfinate: a novel reagent for synthesis of sulfones and β-ketosulfones in ionic liquid

A novel task-specific ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium p-toluenesulfinate, [bmim][p-TolSO₂] has been synthesized and used as a nucleophile for the reaction with alkyl bromides and phenacyl bromides to prepare sulfones and β-ketosulfones in excellent yields (80-93%) in [bmim][BF₄] ionic liquid. The isolated yields of sulfones and β-ketosulfones were higher in [bmim][BF₄] than other organic solvents at room temperature.
