Synthesis,Structure, and Physico‐optical Properties of Manganate(II)‐Based Ionic Liquids

Several ionic liquids (ILs) based on complex manganate(II) anions with chloro, bromo, and bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amido (Tf₂N) ligands have been synthesized. As counterions, n‐alkyl‐methylimidazolium (C_nmim) cations of different chain length (alkyl=ethyl (C₂), propyl (C₃), butyl (C₄), hexyl (C₆)) were chosen. Except for the 1‐hexyl‐3‐methylimidazolium ILs, all of the prepared compounds could be obtained in a crystalline state at room temperature. However, each of the compounds displayed a strong tendency to form a supercooled liquid. Generally, solidification via a glass transition took place below ?40 °C. Consequently, all of these compounds can be regarded as ionic liquids. Depending on the local coordination environment of Mn²⁺, green (tetrahedrally coordinated Mn²⁺) or red (octahedrally coordinated Mn²⁺) luminescence emission from the ⁴T(G) level is observed. 1 The local coordination of the luminescent Mn²⁺ centre has been unequivocally established by UV/Vis as well as Raman and IR vibrational spectroscopies. Emission decay times measured at room temperature in the solid state (crystalline or powder) were generally a few ms, although, depending on the ligand, values of up to 25 ms were obtained. For the bromo compounds, the luminescence decay times proved to be almost independent of the physical state and the temperature. However, for the chloro‐ and bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amido ILs, the emission decay times were found to be dependent on the temperature even in the solid state, indicating that the measured values are strongly influenced by nuclear motion and the vibration of the atoms. In the liquid state, the luminescence of tetrahedrally coordinated Mn²⁺ could only be observed when the tetrachloromanganate ILs were diluted with the respective halide ILs. However, for [C₃mim][Mn(Tf₂N)₃], in which Mn²⁺ is in an octahedral coordination environment, a weak red emission from the pure compound was found even in the liquid state at elevated temperatures.     

Boronium‐Cation‐Based Ionic Liquids as Hypergolic Fluids

Two series of boronium‐cation‐based ionic liquids were prepared and fully characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹¹B NMR and infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and elemental analysis. The structure of bis(1‐methyl‐1H‐imidazole‐3‐yl)dihydroboronium dicyanoborohydride ( 5 a ) was determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The densities of these ionic liquids range from 1.05 to 1.28 g cm^?3, and the heats of formation, predicted on the basis of Gaussian 03 calculations, fall between ?164.6 and 430.5 kJ mol^?1. Compound 5 b , bis(1‐allyl‐1H‐imidazole‐3‐yl)dihydroboronium dicyanoborohydride, exhibits the lowest viscosity (35 mPa s) and shortest ignition‐delay time (14 ms) in combination with 100 % HNO₃.     

Applying the Inductive Effect for Synthesizing Low‐Melting and Low‐Viscosity Imidazolium‐Based Ionic Liquids

Fluidizing ionic liquids: By applying the inductive effect, a synthesis strategy to introduce strong, directional and localized H‐bonds into imidazolium‐based ionic liquids is proposed. In opposite to H‐bonded molecular liquids these strong H‐bonds could reduce the melting points and decrease the viscosities of the ILs (see figure).

     

Novel Cyclic Sulfonium‐Based Ionic Liquids: Synthesis,Characterization, and Physicochemical Properties

A new series of ionic liquids composed of three cyclic sulfonium cations and four anions has been synthesized and characterized. Their physicochemical properties, including their spectroscopic characteristics, ion cluster behavior, surface properties, phase transitions, thermal stability, density, viscosity, refractive index, tribological properties, ion conductivity, and electrochemical window have been comprehensively studied. Eight of these salts are liquids at room temperature, at which some salts based on [NO₃]^? and [NTf₂]^? ions exhibit organic plastic crystal behaviors, and all the saccharin‐based salts display relatively high refractive indices (1.442–1.594). In addition, some ionic liquids with the [NTf₂]^? ion exhibit peculiar spectroscopic characteristics in FTIR and UV/Vis regions, whilst those salts based on the [DCA]^? ion show lower viscosities (34.2–62.6 mPa s at 20 °C) and much higher conductivities (7.6–17.6 mS cm^?1 at 20 °C) than most traditional 1,3‐dialkylimidazolium salts.     

Tunable Aryl Alkyl Ionic Liquids with Weakly Coordinating Tetrakis((1,1,1,3,3,3‐hexafluoropropan‐2‐yl)oxy)borate [B(hfip)4] Anions

Weakly coordinating borate or aluminate anions have recently been shown to yield interesting properties of the resulting ionic liquids (ILs). The same is true for large phenyl‐substituted imidazolium cations, which can be tuned by the choice, position, or number of substituents on the aromatic ring. We were therefore interested to combine these aryl alkyl imidazolium cations with the weakly coordinating tetrakis((1,1,1,3,3,3‐hexafluoropropan‐2‐yl)oxy)borate [B(hfip)₄]^? anions to study the physical properties and viscosities of these ionic liquids. Despite the large size and high molecular weight of these readily available ILs, they are liquid at room temperature and show remarkably low glass transition points and relatively high decomposition temperatures.     

Synthesizing 2D and 3D Selenidostannates in Ionic Liquids: The Synergistic Structure‐Directing Effects of Ionic Liquids and Metal–Amine Complexes

Presented are the ionothermal syntheses, characterizations, and properties of a series of two‐ and three‐dimensional selenidostannate compounds synergistically directed by metal–amine complex (MAC) cations and ionic liquids (ILs) of [Bmmim]Cl (Bmmim=1‐butyl‐2,3‐dimethylimidazolium). Four selenidostannates, namely, 2D‐(Bmmim)₃[Ni(en)₃]₂[Sn₉Se₂₁]Cl ( 1 , en=ethylenediamine), 2D‐(Bmmim)₈[Ni₂(teta)₂(μ‐teta)]Sn₁₈Se₄₂ ( 2 , teta=triethylenetetramine), 2D‐(Bmmim)₄[Ni(tepa)Cl]₂[Ni(tepa)Sn₁₂Se₂₈] ( 3 , tepa=tetraethylenepentamine), and 3D‐(Bmmim)₂[Ni(1,2‐pda)₃]Sn₈Se₁₈ ( 4 , 1,2‐pda=1,2‐diaminopropane), were obtained. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analyses revealed that compounds 1 and 2 possess a lamellar anionic [Sn₃Se₇]_n^2n? structure comprising distinct eight‐membered ring units, whereas 3 features a MAC‐decorated anionic [Ni(tepa)Sn₁₂Se₂₈]_n^6n? layered structure. In contrast to 1 – 3 , compound 4 exhibits a 3D open framework of anionic [Sn₄Se₉]_n^2n?. The structural variation from 1 to 4 clearly indicates that on the basis of the synergistic structure‐directing ability of the MACs and ILs, variation of the organic polyamine ligand has a significant impact on the formation of selenidostannates.     

Ionic Liquids Based on Azolate Anions

Compartmentalized molecular level design of new energetic materials based on energetic azolate anions allows for the examination of the effects of both cation and anion on the physiochemical properties of ionic liquids. Thirty one novel salts were synthesized by pairing diverse cations (tetraphenylphosphonium, ethyltriphenylphosphonium, N‐phenyl pyridinium, 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium, tetramethyl‐, tetraethyl‐, and tetrabutylammonium) with azolate anions (5‐nitrobenzimidazolate, 5‐nitrobenzotriazolate, 3,5‐dinitro‐1,2,4‐triazolate, 2,4‐dinitroimidazolate, 4‐nitro‐1,2,3‐triazolate, 4,5‐dinitroimidazolate, 4,5‐dicyanoimidazolate, 4‐nitroimidazolate, and tetrazolate). These salts have been characterized by DSC, TGA, and single crystal X‐ray crystallography. The azolates in general are surprisingly stable in the systems explored. Ionic liquids were obtained with all combinations of the 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium cation and the heterocyclic azolate anions studied, and with several combinations of tetraethyl‐ or tetrabutylammonium cations and the azolate anions. Favorable structure–property relationships were most often achieved when changing from 4‐ and 4,5‐disubstituted anions to 3,5‐ and 2,4‐disubstituted anions. The most promising anion for use in energetic ionic liquids of those studied here, was 3,5‐dinitro‐1,2,4‐triazolate, based on its contributions to the entire set of target properties.     

Synthesis and Improved Properties of Hypergolic Boronium‐Based Ionic Liquids

A series of asymmetric monoimidazolium dihydroboronium‐based ionic liquids (ILs) were synthesized from amine‐boranes. All the resulting ILs were fully characterized by ¹H and ¹³C NMR, IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis or high resolution mass spectrum. Compared with the symmetric bisimidazolium dihydroboronium‐based ILs, these new ILs exhibited improved properties with shorter ignition delay times (IDs), higher densities, and lower phase transition temperature showing the promising application potential as green propellants.     

Terpenes to Ionic Liquids: Synthesis and Characterization of Citronellal-Based Chiral Ionic Liquids

A series of new chiral ionic liquids have been prepared and characterized starting from a simple, economical, and commercially available monoterpene, citronellal. The aldehyde functionality in citronellal is converted into a Schiff base using an amine, followed by reduction with Raney nickel to give the desired quaternary amine. Most of the ionic liquids generated using this procedure are found to be liquids at room temperature.
