Binding Gibbs energy of ionic liquids to calf thymus DNA: a fluorescence spectroscopy study

The binding constants and binding Gibbs energies of [C(n)mim]Br (n = 4, 6, 8, 10, 12) and [C(4)mim][BF(4)] to calf thymus DNA-D1501 have been determined by the fluorescence measurements of the pyrene probe. It was found that values of the binding Gibbs energy decrease linearly with the increase of alkyl chain length of the ILs. Based on this observation, Gibbs energies for both the interaction between DNA and -CH(2)- of the ILs and the interaction between DNA and the cationic head group of the ILs have been reported. The result suggests that electrostatic interaction between DNA and the cationic head group of the ILs is predominant for the binding of the ILs with DNA although contribution from the non-electrostatic interaction between DNA and the alkyl chain of the ILs increases with increasing alkyl chain length of the ILs. The information obtained here may have application in the design of novel ILs-based DNA extraction/separation systems.     

Effect of the structure of imidazolium cations in [BF4](-)-type ionic liquids on direct electrochemistry and electrocatalysis of horseradish peroxidase in Nafion films

The direct electrochemistry and bioelectrocatalysis of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in Nafion films at glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was investigated in three [BF(4)](-)-type room-temperature ionic liquids (ILs) to understand the structural effect of imidazolium cations. The three ILs are 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([Emim][BF(4)]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([Bmim][BF(4)]) and 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([Hmim][BF(4)]). A small amount of water in the three ILs is indispensable for maintaining the electrochemical activity of HRP in Nafion films, and the optimum water contents decrease with the increase of alkyl chain length on imidazole ring. Analysis shows that the optimum water contents are primarily determined by the hydrophilicity of ILs used. In contrast to aqueous medium, ILs media facilitate the direct electron transfer of HRP, and the electrochemical parameters obtained in different ILs are obviously related to the nature of ILs. The direct electron transfer between HRP and GCE is a surface-confined quasi-reversible single electron transfer process. The apparent heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant decreases gradually with the increase of alkyl chain length on imidazole ring, but the changing extent is relatively small. The electrocatalytic reduction current of H(2)O(2) at the present electrode decreases obviously with the increase of alkyl chain length, and the mass transfer of H(2)O(2) via diffusion in ILs should be responsible for the change. In addition, the modified electrode has good stability and reproducibility; the ability to tolerate high levels of F(-) has been greatly enhanced due to the use of Nafion film. When an appropriate mediator is included in the sensing layer, a sensitive nonaqueous biosensor could be fabricated.     

Structure and orientation of the imidazolium cation at the room-temperature ionic liquid/SiO2 interface measured by sum-frequency vibrational spectroscopy

In this study, we have examined both the effect of alkyl chain length and anion composition on the 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium (C(n)mim, n = 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12) structure and orientation at the room-temperature ionic liquid (RTIL)/SiO(2) interface by sum-frequency vibrational spectroscopy (SFVS). Four different anions were investigated in this study: tetrafluoroborate (BF(4)), hexafluorophosphate (PF(6)), bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (BMSI), and bis(pentafluoroethylsulfonyl)imide (BETI). It was found that the alkyl chain in BMSI and BETI RTILs showed a decrease in gauche defects with an increase in chain length, whereas the alkyl chains of the BF(4) and PF(6) RTILs have virtually no gauche defects regardless of chain length. The tilt of the alkyl chain lies predominantly perpendicular to the surface for all the RTILs examined. A strong correlation between the HCCH vs tilt angle and alkyl chain length was observed; as the alkyl chain is lengthened the HCCH vs lies more perpendicular to the SiO(2) surface. The results of this study suggest that the length of the alkyl chain dictates to a large degree the orientation of the imidazolium cation at the surface, regardless of anion composition. To a lesser extent, the HCCH vs tilt of the imidazolium ring of the cation also appears to be correlated to the surface charge density of the SiO(2). As the SiO(2) surface charge density becomes more negative the HCCH vs tilt angle lies more parallel to the surface.     

Effects of Cationic Structure on Cellulose Dissolution in Ionic Liquids: A Molecular Dynamics Study

In recent years, great progress has been made in the dissolution of cellulose with ionic liquids (ILs). However, the mechanism of cellulose dissolution, especially the role the IL cation played in the dissolution process, has not been clearly understood. Herein, the mixtures of cellulose with a series of imidazolium‐based chloride ionic liquids and 1‐butyl‐3‐methyl pyridinium chloride ([C₄mpy]Cl) were simulated to study the effect that varying the heterocyclic structure and alkyl chain length of the IL cation has on the dissolution of cellulose. It was shown that the dissolution of cellulose in [C₄mpy]Cl is better than that in [C₄mim]Cl. For imidazolium‐based ILs, the shorter the alkyl chain is, the higher the solubility will be. In addition, an all‐atom force field for 1‐allyl‐3‐methyl imidazolium cation ([Amim]⁺) was developed, for the first time, to investigate the effect the electron‐withdrawing group within the alkyl chain of the IL cation has on the dissolution of cellulose. It was found that the interaction energy between [Amim]⁺ and cellulose was greater than that between [C₃mim]⁺ and cellulose, indicating that the presence of electron‐withdrawing group in alkyl chain of the cation enhanced the interaction between the cation and cellulose due to the increase of electronegativity of the cations. These findings are used to assess the cationic effect on the dissolution of cellulose in ILs. They are also expected to be important for rational design of novel ILs for efficient dissolution of cellulose.     

Static dielectric constant of room temperature ionic liquids: internal pressure and cohesive energy density approach

Measurements of the static dielectric constant (epsilon) of ionic liquids (ILs) are very difficult because of the decay of field by the ionic conductivity of ILs. Herein, we describe an easy method for the prediction of epsilon of various imidazolium-based ILs [C_n mim] from n, i.e. the ratio of internal pressure (P_i) and cohesive energy density (ced). A calibration curve of n vs epsilon for conventional organic solvents (mainly the linear alcohols) has been used to estimate the epsilon of the ILs. Estimated epsilon values for ILs having the anions [Cl]-, [BF 4]-, [PF 6]-, [TfO]-, and [Tf 2N]- showed a very good comparison with the literature results, whereas ILs having the anions [C_n OSO3]- tend to deviate from such correlation. Also, for a series of ILs having a common anion, the epsilon is shown to follow a very good correlation with the molecular volumes. Predicted values show that both the nature of the anion and alkyl chain length of the cation contribute significantly to the epsilon of the ILs. The method developed makes use of properties which can be either experimentally determined or estimated with good accuracy and can be extended to the other categories of ILs with ease and reasonable accuracy.     

Synergic effects of imidazolium ionic liquids on P123 mixed micelles for inducing micro/mesoporous materials

A series of micro/mesoporous silica composites were synthesized with P123 and imidazolium ILs ([C(n)mim]X) as the co-templates. [C(n)mim]X showed notable synergic interaction with P123. By changing the alkyl chain length n in methylimidazolium, ring-like micropores were observed in the wall of the mesoporous materials when n = 4. While increasing n to 10, micropores and mesopores were found in different separated regions. Various anions of Cl(-), Br(-), and BF(4)(-) of ILs have little effect on the aggregation behavior of P123/C4X mixed micelles. The strong hydrogen bonding effect of BF(4)(-) has resulted in the ordered mesoporous channels with numerous micropores in the wall at a low temperature of 313 K. Hydrophobic C4PF(6) can only be solubilized in the core of P123 micelles, which resulted in the swelling of P123/C4PF(6) mixed aggregates and the ordered hexagonal porous silica materials at 313 K. The fundamental understanding of the synergic interaction and formation mechanisms of various porous silica materials can provide a general convenient way toward a rational design and synthesis of the micro/mesoporous composites.

Theoretical analysis of the hydrogen bond of imidazolium C(2)-H with anions

The intermolecular interaction energies of ion pairs of imidazolium-based ionic liquids were studied by MP2/6-311G level ab initio calculations. Although the hydrogen bond between the C(2) hydrogen atom of an imidazolium cation and anion has been regarded as an important interaction in controlling the structures and physical properties of ionic liquids as in the cases of conventional hydrogen bonds, the calculations show that the nature of the C(2)-H...X interaction is considerably different from that of conventional hydrogen bonds. The interaction energies of the imidazolium cation with neighboring anions in the four crystals of ionic liquids were calculated. The size of the interaction is determined mainly by the distance between the imidazolium ring and anion. The calculated interaction energy is nearly inversely proportional to the distance, which shows that the charge-charge interaction is the dominant interaction in the attraction. The orientation of the anion relative to the C(2)-H bond does not greatly affect the size of the interaction energy. Calculated interaction energy potentials of 1,3-dimethylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([dmim][BF(4)]) complexes show that the C(2)-H bond does not prefer to point toward a fluorine atom of the BF(4). This shows that the C(2)-H...X hydrogen bond is not essential for the attraction.     

Liquid phase behavior of ionic liquids with alcohols: experimental studies and modeling

Ionic liquids (ILs) have been suggested as potential "green" solvents to replace volatile organic solvents in reaction and separation processes due to their negligible vapor pressure. To develop ILs for these applications, it is important to gain a fundamental understanding of the factors that control the phase behavior of ionic liquids with other liquids. In this work, we continue our study of the effect of chemical and structural factors on the phase behavior of ionic liquids with alcohols, focusing on pyridinium ILs for comparison to imidazolium ILs from our previous studies. The impact of different alcohol and IL characteristics, including alcohol chain length, cation alkyl chain length, anion, different substituent groups on the pyridinium cation, and type of cation (pyridinium vs imidazolium) will be discussed. In general, the same type of behavior is observed for pyridinium and imidazolium ILs, with all systems studied exhibiting upper critical solution temperature behavior. The impacts of alcohol chain length, cation chain length, and anion, are the same for pyridinium ILs as those observed previously for imidazolium ILs. However, the effect of cation type on the phase behavior is dependent on the strength of the cation-anion interaction. Additionally, all systems from this study and our previous work for imidazolium ILs were modeled using the nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL) equation using two different approaches for determining the adjustable parameters. For all systems, the NRTL equation with binary interaction parameters with a linear temperature dependence provided a good fit of the experimental data.
