The thermodynamic properties of DyBr3(s) and DyI3(s) from T=5 K to their melting temperatures

Low-temperature calorimetric measurements have been performed on DyBr₃(s) in the temperature range (5.5 to 420 K ) and on DyI₃(s) from T=4 K to T=420 K. The data reveal enhanced heat capacities below T=10 K, consisting of a magnetic and an electronic contribution. From the experimental data on DyBr₃(s) a C⁰_p,m (298.15 K) of (102.2±0.2) J·K⁻¹·mol⁻¹ and a value for {S⁰_m (298.15 K) − S⁰_m (5.5 K)} of (205.5±0.5) J·K⁻¹·mol⁻¹, have been obtained. For DyI₃(s), {S⁰_m (298.15 K) − S⁰_m (4 K)} and C⁰_p,m (298.15 K) have been determined as (226.9±0.5) J·K⁻¹·mol⁻¹ and (103.4±0.2) J·K⁻¹·mol⁻¹, respectively. The values for {S⁰_m (5.5 K) − S⁰_m (0)} for DyBr₃(s) and {S⁰_m (4 K) − S⁰_m (0)} for DyI₃(s) have been calculated, giving S⁰_m (298.15 K)=(212.3±0.9) J·K⁻¹·mol⁻¹ in case of DyBr₃(s) and S⁰_m (298.15 K) =(233.1±0.7) J·K⁻¹·mol⁻¹ for DyI₃(s). The high-temperature enthalpy increment has been measured for DyBr₃(s) in the temperature range (525 to 799 K) and for DyI₃(s) in the temperature range (525 to 627 K). From the results obtained and enthalpies of formation from the literature, thermodynamic functions for DyBr₃(s) and DyI₃(s) have been calculated from T→0 to their melting temperatures at 1151.0 K and 1251.5 K, respectively.     

On the kinetics of thermal electron attachment to perfluoroethers

In this Letter we report the results of the measurements of the rate coefficients for thermal attachment to several perfluoroethers namely perfluorodiglyme (C₆F₁₄O₃), perfluorotriglyme (C₈F₁₈O₄), perfluoropolyether (CF₃–(OCF(CF₃)CF₂)_n–(OCF₂)_m–OCF₃) and perfluorocrownether ((C₂F₄O)₅). Rate coefficients were obtained under thermal conditions in the temperature range 298–378 K. The increase of the rates with temperature follows the Arrhenius law and the activation energies have been obtained from the slope of the ln(k) vs. 1/T. The respective values of the rate coefficients (at 298 K) and activation energies are as follows: 7.7 ± 1.2 × 10^?11 cm³ s^?1 (0.18 ± 0.005 eV), 6.7 ± 2.1 × 10^?11 cm³ s^?1 (0.25 ± 0.004 eV), 2.1 ± 0.2 × 10^?10 cm³ s^?1 (0.16 ± 0.010 eV), 3.1 × 10^?11 cm³ s^?1 (0.27 ± 0.003 eV) for C₆F₁₄O₃, C₈F₁₈O₄, CF₃–(OCF(CF₃)CF₂)_n–(OCF₂)_m–OCF₃ and (C₂F₄O)₅.     

Kinetic spectrophotometric method for trace determination of thiocyanate based on its inhibitory effect

A kinetic spectrophotometric method for the determination of thiocyanate, based on its inhibitory effect on silver(I) catalyzed substitution of cyanide ion, by phenylhydrazine in hexacyanoferrate(II) is described. Thiocyanate ions form strong complexes with silver(I) catalyst which is used as the basis for its determination at trace level. The progress of reaction was monitored, spectrophotometrically, at 488 nm (λ_max of [Fe(CN)₅PhNHNH₂]^3?, complex) under the optimum reaction conditions at: 2.5 × 10^?3 M [Fe(CN)₆]^4?, 1.0 × 10^?3 M [PhNHNH₂], 8.0 × 10^?7 M [Ag⁺], pH 2.8 ± 0.02, ionic strength (μ) 0.02 M (KNO₃) and temperature 30 ± 0.1 °C. A linear relationship obtained between absorbance (measured at 488 nm at different times) and inhibitor concentration, under specified conditions, has been used for the determination of [thiocyanate] in the range of 0.8–8.0 × 10^?8 M with a detection limit of 2 × 10^?9 M. The standard deviation and percentage error have been calculated and reported with each datum. A most plausible mechanistic scheme has been proposed for the reaction. The values of equilibrium constants for complex formation between catalyst–inhibitor (K_CI), catalyst–substrate (K_s) and Michaelis–Menten constant (K_m) have been computed from the kinetic data. The influence of possible interference by major cations and anions on the determination of thiocyanate and their limits has been investigated.     

Low-temperature thermal properties of 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediol and its deuterated analogues

Heat capacities of 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediol(CH₃)₂C(CH₂OH)₂ were measured in the temperature range between T =  13 K and T =  350 K using an adiabatic calorimeter. The compound underwent a first-order phase transition at T =  (314.5  ±  0.1) K. The enthalpy and the entropy of transition were (12.52  ±  0.02)kJ · mol ^− 1and (39.81  ±  0.08)J · K ^− 1· mol ^− 1, respectively. Measurement of the fusion peak by d.s.c. showed that the purity of the sample was 0.9999 mass fraction and the entropy of fusion was 9.9 J · K ^− 1· mol ^− 1. Another first-order phase transition was observed at T =  (60.4  ±  0.1) K with the associated entropy change of (2.93  ±  0.05)J · K ^− 1· mol ^− 1. Heat capacities of two deuterated samples,(CH₃)₂C(CH₂OD)₂ and(CD₃)₂C(CD₂OD)₂ , were also measured and the results were compared with those on the natural compound. Possible mechanisms of the transition have been discussed from the isotope effects on the thermodynamic quantities associated with the transition. Standard thermodynamic functions of the compounds are tabulated.     

The role of water in the thermodynamics of drug binding to cyclodextrin

The thermodynamic parameters, Δ_BG^∘, Δ_BH^∘, Δ_BS^∘, and Δ_BC_p, of the drugs flurbiprofen (FLP), nabumetone (NAB), and naproxen (NPX) binding to β-cyclodextrin (βCD) and to γ-cyclodextrin (γCD) in 0.10 M sodium phosphate buffer were determined from isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) measurements over the temperature range from 293.15 K to 313.15 K. The heat capacity changes for the binding reactions ranged from −(362 ± 48) J · mol⁻¹ · K⁻¹ for FLP and −(238 ± 90) J · mol⁻¹ · K⁻¹ for NAB binding in the βCD cavity to 0 for FLP and −(25.1 ± 9.2) J · mol⁻¹ · K⁻¹ for NPX binding in the larger γCD cavity, implying that the structure of water is reorganized in the βCD binding reactions but not reorganized in the γCD binding reactions. Comparison of the fluorescence enhancements of FLP and NAB upon transferring from the aqueous buffer to isopropanol with the maximum fluorescence enhancements observed for their βCD binding reactions indicated that some localized water was retained in the FLP–βCD complex and almost none in the NAB–βCD complex. No fluorescence change occurs with drug binding in the larger γCD cavity, indicating the retention of the bulk water environment in the drug–γCD complex. Since the specific drug binding interactions are essentially the same for βCD and γCD, these differences in the retention of bulk water may account for the enthalpically driven nature of the βCD binding reactions and the entropically driven nature of the γCD binding reactions.     

Heat capacity and enthalpy of fusion of pyrimethanil laurate (C24H37N3O2)

Low-temperature heat capacities of pyrimethanil laurate (C₂₄H₃₇N₃O₂) were precisely measured with an automated adiabatic calorimeter over the temperature range between T = 78 K and T = 340 K. The sample was observed to melt at (321.52 ± 0.04) K. The molar enthalpy and entropy of fusion as well as the chemical purity of the compound were determined to be (67244 ± 11) J · mol⁻¹, (209.28 ± 0.02) J · mol⁻¹ · K⁻¹, (0.9943 ± 0.0004) mass fraction, respectively. The extrapolated melting temperature for the absolutely pure compound obtained from fractional melting experiments was (322.264 ± 0.006) K.     

EPR and optical absorption studies of Cu2+ doped bis (glycinato) Mg (II) monohydrate single crystals

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) study of Cu²⁺ doped bis (glycinato) Mg (II) monohydrate single crystals is carried out at room temperature. Copper enters the lattice substitutionally and is trapped at two magnetically inequivalent sites. The observed spectra are fitted to a spin-Hamiltonian of rhombic symmetry with the following values of the parameters: Cu²⁺ (I), g_x = 2.1577 ± 0.0002, g_y = 2.2018 ± 0.0002, g_z = 2.3259 ± 0.0002, A_x = (87 ± 2) × 10^?4 cm^?1, A_y = (107 ± 2) × 10^?4 cm^?1, A_z = (141 ± 2) × 10^?4 cm^?1; Cu ²⁺ (II), g_x = 2.1108 ± 0.0002, g_y = 2.1622 ± 0.0002, g_z = 2.2971 ± 0.0002, A_x = (69 ± 2) × 10^?4 cm^?1, A_y = (117 ± 2) × 10^?4 cm^?1and A_z = (134 ± 2) × 10^?4 cm^?1. The ground state wave function of the Cu²⁺ ion in this lattice is evaluated to be predominantly |x² ? y². The g-factor anisotropy is also calculated and compared with the experimental value. With the help of the optical absorption study, the nature of bonding in the complex is discussed.     

Potentiometric study of acid–base equilibria in the {KCl + LiCl} eutectic melt at temperatures in the range (873 to 1073) K

Some heterogeneous reactions of oxide ion exchange (carbonate ion dissociation and magnesium oxide dissolution) in the molten {KCl + LiCl} eutectic at temperatures of (873, 973 and 1073) K were studied using an electrochemical cell with an oxygen membrane electrode Pt(O₂)|ZrO₂(Y₂O₃). The dissociation constant of the CO₃²⁻ was found to increase with increasing temperature: pK (873 K)=(2.39 ± 0.05); pK (973 K)=(1.81 ± 0.09); pK (1073 K)=(1.53 ± 0.08). Removal of CO₂ from the gas above the melt allows the complete transformation of CO₃²⁻ to O²⁻. pP_MgO values decrease more from (6.99 ± 0.08) to (5.41 ± 0.04). The oxobasicity indices, pI_(KCl+LiCl), were calculated from the solubility data to be 3.2 at 873 K, 3.4 at 973 K, and 3.6 at 1073 K. This trend suggests an increase in acidity with increasing temperature of {KCl + LiCl}.     

The role of the double bond position in hydroboration using HBBr2 · SMe2, HBCl2 · SMe2 and H2BBr · SMe2: A detailed kinetic and mechanistic study

Hydroboration reactions of 4-octene with HBBr₂ · SMe₂, HBCl₂ · SMe₂ and H₂BBr · SMe₂ in CH₂Cl₂ were studied as function of concentration and temperature and compared with those of 1-octene. On average, hydroboration with dihaloborane proceeded 16 times slower for 4-octene than for 1-octene. In the case of the reactions with the monohaloborane, this factor is halved. This can be explained by the difference in the relative rates of dissociates of Me₂S from the dihaloborane and a monohaloborane complex, respectively. The reactions involving H₂BBr · SMe₂ also exhibited a k_?2 value, an indication of the presence of a parallel reaction, most likely a rearrangement process facilitating isomerization by way of a π-complex. The moderate ΔH^≠ values accompanied by small ΔS^≠ values (94 ± 4 kJ mol^?1, ?3 ± 13 J K^?1 mol^?1 for HBBr₂ · SMe₂; 93 ± 1 kJ mol^?1, ?17 ± 4 J K^?1 mol^?1 for HBCl₂ · SMe₂ and in the case of H₂BBr · SMe₂, 90 ± 13 kJ mol^?1, +12 ± 44 J K^?1 mol^?1 and 83 ± 13 kJ mol^?1, ?24 ± 45 J K^?1 mol^?1, respectively, for the k₂ and k_?2 processes) imply a process that is dissociatively dominated, with the overall mode of activation being interchange dissociative (I_d).     

Thermodynamic properties of metal amides determined by ammonia pressure-composition isotherms

Thermodynamic properties of Mg(NH₂)₂ and LiNH₂ were investigated by measurements of NH₃ pressure-composition isotherms (PCI). Van’t Hoff plot of plateau pressures of PCI for decomposition of Mg(NH₂)₂ indicated the standard enthalpy and entropy change of the reactions were ΔH° = (120 ± 11) kJ · mol^?1 (per unit amount of NH₃) and ΔS° = (182 ± 19) J · mol^?1 · K^?1 for the reaction: Mg(NH₂)₂ → MgNH + NH₃, and ΔH° = 112 kJ · mol^?1 and ΔS^o = 157 J · mol^?1 · K^?1 for the reaction: MgNH → (1/3)Mg₃N₂ + (1/3)NH₃. PCI measurements for formation of LiNH₂ were carried out, and temperature dependence of plateau pressures indicated ΔH° = (?108 ± 15) kJ · mol^?1 and ΔS° = (?143 ± 25) J · mol^?1 · K^?1 for the reaction: Li₂NH + NH₃ → 2LiNH₂.     

Thermochemistry of some barium compounds

The molar enthalpies of reaction of metallic barium with 0.047 mol·dm⁻³ HClO₄ as well as the molar enthalpies of dissolution of BaCl₂ in 1.01 mol·dm⁻³ HCl and in water have been measured at T=298.15 K in a sealed swinging calorimeter with an isothermal jacket. From these results the standard molar enthalpy of formation of the barium ion in an aqueous solution at infinite dilution, as well as the enthalpies of formation of barium chloride and barium perchlorate, are calculated to be: Δ_fH⁰_m(Ba²⁺,aq)=−(535.83±1.25) kJ · mol⁻¹; Δ_fH⁰_m(BaCl₂,cr)=−(855.66±1.28) kJ · mol⁻¹; and Δ_fH⁰_m(BaClO₄,cr)=−(796.26±1.35) kJ · mol⁻¹. The results obtained are discussed and compared with previous experimental values.     

Fluoride affinities of fluorinated alanes

The fluoride affinities of fluorinated alanes, AlH_mF_3?m (m = 1–3) were measured using energy-resolved collision-induced dissociation of fluorinated aluminate anions. The AlH_mF_4?m^? anions were formed by reaction of dimethylethylamine-alane with fluoride ion and F₂. From the measured bond dissociation energies, the fluoride affinities of fluorinated alanes are determined to be 93.2 ± 3.1, 97.5 ± 4.0, and 108.6 ± 3.7 kcal/mol for m = 3, 2, and 1, respectively. The fluoride affinities are in good agreement with the theoretical calculations at the CCSD(T)/CBS and B3LYP/6-31 + G* levels of theory. The increased Lewis acidity of more fluorinated alanes is attributed to increased positive charge density on the aluminum.     

Low-temperature heat capacity and standard molar enthalpy of formation of 9-fluorenemethanol (C14H12O)

Low-temperature heat capacities of the 9-fluorenemethanol (C₁₄H₁₂O) have been precisely measured with a small sample automatic adiabatic calorimeter over the temperature range between T=78 K and T=390 K. The solid–liquid phase transition of the compound has been observed to be T_fus=(376.567±0.012) K from the heat-capacity measurements. The molar enthalpy and entropy of the melting of the substance were determined to be Δ_fusH_m=(26.273±0.013) kJ · mol⁻¹ and Δ_fusS_m=(69.770±0.035) J · K⁻¹ · mol⁻¹. The experimental values of molar heat capacities in solid and liquid regions have been fitted to two polynomial equations by the least squares method. The constant-volume energy and standard molar enthalpy of combustion of the compound have been determined, Δ_cU(C₁₄H₁₂O, s)=−(7125.56 ± 4.62) kJ · mol⁻¹ and Δ_cH_m^∘(C₁₄H₁₂O, s)=−(7131.76 ± 4.62) kJ · mol⁻¹, by means of a homemade precision oxygen-bomb combustion calorimeter at T=(298.15±0.001) K. The standard molar enthalpy of formation of the compound has been derived, Δ_fH_m^∘(C₁₄H₁₂O,s)=−(92.36 ± 0.97) kJ · mol⁻¹, from the standard molar enthalpy of combustion of the compound in combination with other auxiliary thermodynamic quantities through a Hess thermochemical cycle.     

Synthesis and characterization of nanoparticles of α-Bi2Mo3O12 prepared by co-precipitation method: Langmuir adsorption parameters and photocatalytic properties with rhodamine B

Nanoparticles of α-Bi₂Mo₃O₁₂ were prepared by co-precipitation method at calcination temperatures of 250, 300, 400 and 480 °C. The characterization of α-Bi₂Mo₃O₁₂ synthesized at different temperatures was carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal analysis (TGA/DTA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). Adsorption parameters and photocatalytical activity under visible light irradiation of α-Bi₂Mo₃O₁₂ were evaluated using the rhodamine B (rhB) dye as model. The adsorption constant (K) and maximum amount of dye adsorbed (q_max) on the surface of the samples synthesized were evaluated following the Langmuir isotherm. The sample calcinated at 250 °C showed the maximum adsorption percentage of dye, which ranged between 20 and 46% for initial concentrations of rhB from 5 to 15 mg L^?1, with a K = 6.96 × 10⁵ L mol^?1 and q_max = 2.73 mg g^?1. All samples were able to induce the oxidative photodegradation of rhB, however, the bleaching of dye solution was reached more quickly for the sample calcinated at 250 °C.     

Crystal structures and magnetic properties of complexes of M(NO3)2; M = MnII,CoII, NiII,and CuII,with pyridine ligands carrying an aminoxyl radical

Four complexes of M(NO₃)₂(4NOPy-OMe)₂, (4NOPy-OMe = 4-(N-tert-butyloxylamino)-2-(methoxymethylenyl)pyridine, and M = Mn^II, 1; Co^II, 2; Ni^II, 3; Cu^II, 4), were prepared and fully characterized. X-ray single crystal analysis reveals that four complexes are isostructural. The molecular structures are distorted octahedral in which the methoxy oxygen atoms coordinate to the metal ion by trans-configuration while the pyridyl nitrogen atoms and the nitrate oxygen atoms coordinate by cis-configuration. The magnetic properties of all complexes were investigated by SQUID magneto/susceptometry. Temperature dependence of the molar magnetic susceptibilities in the temperature range of 2–300 K indicated that the magnetic coupling between aminoxyl radicals and metal ion was antiferromagnetic in the complex 1 and were ferromagnetic in the complexes 2–4. The quantitative analysis based on the spin Hamiltonian, H = −2J(S₁S_M + S_MS₂) yielded the best fit as J/k_B = −13.4 ± 0.1 K, g = 1.94 ± 0.002, and θ = −0.78 ± 0.02 K for the complex 1, J/k_B = 48.7 ± 2.1 K, g = 2.07 ± 0.02, and θ = −2.83 ± 0.41 K for the complex 3 (the data in the temperature range 300–50 K were used), and J/k_B = 57.0 ± 1.2 K, g = 2.002 ± 0.004, and θ = −9.8 ± 0.1 K for the complex 4.     

(Solid + solute) phase equilibria in aqueous solution. XIII. Thermodynamic properties of hydrozincite and predominance diagrams for (Zn2 + + H2O + CO2)

The thermodynamic properties ofZn₅(OH)₆(CO₃)₂ , hydrozincite, have been determined by performing solubility and d.s.c. measurements. The solubility constant in aqueous NaClO₄media has been measured at temperatures ranging from 288.15 K to 338.15 K at constant ionic strength (I =  1.00 mol · kg ^− 1). Additionally, the dependence of the solubility constant on the ionic strength has been investigated up to I =  3.00 mol · kg ^− 1NaClO₄at T =  298.15 K. The standard molar heat capacity C_{p, m}^ofunction fromT =  318.15 K to T =  418.15 K, as well as the heat of decomposition of hydrozincite, have been obtained from d.s.c. measurements. All experimental results have been simultaneously evaluated by means of the optimization routine of ChemSage yielding an internally consistent set of thermodynamic data (T =  298.15 K): solubility constant log ^* K_{ps 0}⁰ =  (9.0  ±  0.1), standard molar Gibbs energy of formationΔ_fG_m^o {Zn₅(OH)₆(CO₃)₂ }  =  ( − 3164.6  ±  3.0)kJ · mol ^− 1, standard molar enthalpy of formation Δ_fH_m^o{Zn₅(OH)₆(CO₃)₂ }  =  ( − 3584  ±  15)kJ · mol ^− 1, standard molar entropy S_m^o{Zn₅(OH)₆(CO₃)₂ }  =  (436  ±  50)J · mol ^− 1· K ^− 1and C_p,m^o / (J · mol ^− 1· K ^− 1)  =  (119  ±  11)  +  (0.834  ±  0.033)T / K. A three-dimensional predominance diagram is introduced which allows a comprehensive thermodynamic interpretation of phase relations in(Zn^2 +  +  H₂O  +  CO₂) . The axes of this phase diagram correspond to the potential quantities: temperature, partial pressure of carbon dioxide and pH of the aqueous solution. Moreover, it is shown how the stoichiometric composition{n(CO₃) / n(Zn)} of the solid compoundsZnCO₃ and Zn₅(OH)₆(CO₃)₂can be checked by thermodynamically analysing the measured solubility data.     

Kinetics of the diazotization and azo coupling reactions of procaine in the micellar media

The kinetics of the diazotization reaction of procaine in the presence of anionic micelles of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and cationic micelles of cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), dodecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (DDTAB) and tetradecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (TDTAB) were carried out spectrophotometrically at λ_max = 289 nm. The values of the pseudo first order rate constant were found to be linearly dependent upon the [NaNO₂] in the concentration range of 1.0 × 10⁻³ mol dm⁻³ to 12.0 × 10⁻³ mol dm⁻³ in the presence of 2.0 × 10⁻² mol dm⁻³ acetic acid. The concentration of procaine was kept constant at 6.50 × 10⁻⁵ mol dm⁻³. The addition of the cationic surfactants increased the reaction rate and gave plateau like curve. The addition of SDS micelles to the reactants initially increased the rate of reaction and gave maximum like curve. The maximum value of the rate constant was found to be 9.44 × 10⁻³ s⁻¹ at 2.00 × 10⁻³ mol dm⁻³ SDS concentration. The azo coupling of diazonium ion with β-naphthol (at λ_max = 488) nm was found to linearly dependent upon [ProcN₂⁺] in the presence of both the cationic micelles (CTAB, DDTAB and TDTAB) and anionic micelles (SDS). Both the cationic and anionic micelles inhibited the rate of reactions. The kinetic results in the presence of micelles are explained using the Berezin pseudophase model. This model was also used to determine the kinetic parameters e.g. k_m, K_s from the observed results of the variation of rate constant at different [surfactants].     

On oxoacidic properties and solubilities of beryllium and magnesium oxides in molten (CsCs + KCl + NaCl) eutectic at T = 783 K

Reactions of Be²⁺ and Mg²⁺ with O^2– in molten eutectic mixture (CsCs + KCl + NaCl) (0.455:0.245:0.30) at T = 783 K were studied by a potentiometric method using Pt(O₂)|ZrO₂(Y₂O₃) indicator electrode. Addition of O^2– ions to the melt containing Mg²⁺ results in precipitation of MgO (pK_s,MgO = 11.89 ± 0.3, molality) whereas interaction of Be²⁺ with O^2– is accompanied with sequential formation of Be₂O²⁺ (pK = 15.68 ± 0.5, molality) and precipitation of BeO (pK_s,BeO = 9.62 ± 0.3, molality). On the basis of the obtained and known data pK_s,MgO–T⁻¹ dependence in molten (CsCs + KCl + NaCl) eutectic is constructed. The slope of the said dependence in T/K = (from 583 to 1073) range is in good agreement with the value predicted by the Shreder equation, that extends the range of use of the Shreder equation for predictions of metal oxide solubilities in molten halides.     

Room-temperature ionic liquid as a new solvent to prepare high-quality dodecanethiol self-assembled monolayers on polycrystalline gold

This paper reports a new solvent, room-temperature ionic liquid (RTIL), for the preparation of dodecanethiol self-assembled monolayers (C₁₂SH-SAMs) on polycrystalline gold. The quality of C₁₂SH-SAMs was characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). From CV experiments, we find that the differential capacitance C_d values of the C₁₂SH-SAM prepared in RTIL, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([BMIM]PF₆) containing 10 μL neat C₁₂SH for 24 h (C₁₂SH-SAMs_{[BMIM]PF6,10 μL,24 h}) are independent of the scan rate, the effective thickness d_eff value and the average cant angle φ value of this monolayer are 18 ± 1 Å and 27 ± 4°, respectively. The difference value of the current density at −0.2 and 0.5 V (Δi_p) is only 0.73 ± 0.18 μA cm⁻². EIS experiments show that the phase angle value at 1 Hz Φ_1 Hz, the charge transfer resistance R_ct value and surface coverage θ value of this C₁₂SH-SAM are 88.2 ± 0.7°, 3.44 ± 1.91 MΩ cm² and 99.998 ± 0.001%, respectively. These results indicate that high-quality C₁₂SH-SAMs can be formed in [BMIM]PF₆. In addition, the rate of formations of high-quality C₁₂SH-SAMs in RTIL can be substantially improved by ultrasound.
