离子液体[bmim][PF6]与[moemim][PF6]结构微不均匀性以及微粘度的光谱探测

室温离子液体由于其极低的蒸汽压、比较好的热稳定性和化学稳定性、良好的分子结构与性能的可设计性等优点,作为一种新型的环境友好溶剂在很多领域有着广泛的应用.对于离子液体的微观结构和微观性能的研究是设计新型离子液体以及扩展离子液体应用的关键.本文通过荧光探针分子香豆素153(C153)的转动动力学和对微观环境敏感的荧光探针分子1, 3-二(1-芘基)丙烷(BPP)的稳态荧光光谱,探测和表征了烷基取代的离子液体1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑六氟磷酸盐([bmim][PF₆])和与其具有相似结构的醚键官能化的离子液体1-甲氧基乙基-3-甲基咪唑六氟磷酸盐([moemim][PF₆])的微观结构和微粘度. C153探针分子在离子液体[bmim][PF₆]中的转动过程具有快、慢两个组分表明离子液体[bmim][PF₆]内部存在松散和紧密的两种结构微区;而C153探针分子在离子液体[moemim][PF₆]中的转动动力学只存在一种过程,说明醚键的引入使得[moemim][PF₆]内部趋于一种类型的微环境.通过C153探针分子的转动时间研究发现,醚键官能化的离子液体[moemim][PF₆]的微粘度小于烷基链取代的离子液体[bmim][PF₆],同时通过BPP探针分子的二聚体激基复合物(excimer)与单体(monomer)荧光发射强度的比值(I_E/I_M)研究也证明这一结果.醚键的引入使得离子液体[moemim][PF₆]相对于离子液体[bmim][PF₆],侧链的极性更大、柔顺性更好,同时醚键有可能作为氢键的受体与阳离子形成氢键从而削弱离子液体中阴、阳离子间的相互作用,使得离子液体[moemim][PF₆]的微观环境比离子液体[bmim][PF₆]更为均一,同时具有更小的微粘度.

On the evaluation of the Kirkwood-Buff integrals of aqueous acetone mixtures

The Kirkwood-Buff integrals of acetone-water mixtures are determined using two experimental techniques: small-angle neutron scattering and vapor pressure measurements, in order to test the precision and reliability that can be achieved. The data are then compared with those previously reported by different authors, which tend to show considerable variation between them. The various possible sources of inaccuracies are pointed out, both from experimental origins and from the numerical treatment of the data. Comparison with recent simulation results allows to critically compare different models and provide some information about the microstructure of the aqueous mixture.     

Modeling nonionic aqueous solutions: the acetone-water mixture

Several combinations of existing classical water and acetone models are studied by molecular dynamic simulations in order to sort out which models can reproduce available experimental data: enthalpies, pressure, densities, diffusion coefficients, and Kirkwood-Buff integrals. It turns out that all these properties, but the last, are rather well reproduced by all models, and with little numerical effort. By contrast, trials to measure by simulations the Kirkwood-Buff integrals lead to very long simulation times, thus revealing unexpected divergent behavior between the different models, such as phase separation, for example, and ultimately leading to a failure of any models combinations to reproduce these properties according to the experimental tendencies. It is argued herein that these deficiencies provide, in fact, an insightful picture of the microscopic structure of the solution, particularly into the relation between the hydrogen-bond network and the concentration fluctuations, as well as the role played by the solute in their spatial organization.     

Kirkwood-Buff integrals and density fluctuations in aqueous solution of caffeine

The Kirkwood-Buff theory is applied to caffeine aqueous solution. The integrals of radial distribution functions are calculated from the osmotic coefficient, density and sound velocity data at 25°C. The results are discussed in terms of density fluctuations of two components and the correlation between them. It is found that the concentration dependence of Kirkwood-Buff integrals reflects the association tendency of caffeine and its strong influence on the properties of the solvent.     

Kirkwood-Buff integrals of aqueous alcohol binary mixtures

The Kirkwood-Buff integrals of some binary aqueous alcohol mixtures are computed from the available vapor pressure measurements and compared with previous results as well as small angle neutron scattering experiments. The emphasis of the present report is on accuracy of the results that can be achieved by these two different types of measurements. This seems to be needed, mainly in view of the discrepancies between the various published results, as shown herein. It is argued that agreement in peak positions is more important than that in magnitude. In general, very good agreement is obtained by both methods, and sources of disagreements are discussed. The issue of the computer simulations of aqueous systems and the problematics related to correlations, microheterogeneity, and consequently the Kirkwood-Buff integrals are equally discussed herein.     

Surface tension of a Lennard-Jones liquid under supersaturation

A formally exact Kirkwood-Buff virial formula for the surface tension of a supersaturated interface is derived. A modified Gibbs ensemble method is given that allows the creation of interacting supersaturated phases of equal chemical potential, and which enables the Kirkwood-Buff formula to be applied. The methods are tested by Monte Carlo simulation of a supersaturated Lennard-Jones fluid with a planar liquid-vapor interface. The Kirkwood-Buff results for the supersaturated surface tension are found to be in reasonable agreement with new results obtained here using the recently developed, formally exact, ghost interface method, [M. P. Moody and P. Attard, J. Chem. Phys., 2002, 117, 6705]. The surface tension is obtained as a function of supersaturation at four temperatures, and it is found to decrease with increasing supersaturation, and to vanish at the vapor spinodal. The relevance of the present results to the nucleation of droplets in a supersaturated vapor is discussed.     

A new force field for atomistic simulations of aqueous tertiary butanol solutions

We present a new tert-butanol force field parametrized to reproduce the mixture thermodynamics of tert-butanol/water over a wide range of solution compositions at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. The experimental Kirkwood-Buff integrals, which quantify preferential solvation of solution components by the same species or by the other components, were used as target values to be reproduced. Water was modeled using the simple point charge model. In the range of alcohol mole fractions between 0.02 and 0.98, our optimized model satisfactorily reproduces alcohol-alcohol, water-water, and alcohol-water aggregation behavior. As a consequence, the solution activity derivatives are reproduced as well. A comparison has been made with solution activities obtained by free energy calculations (i.e., thermodynamic integration). It clearly shows that the Kirkwood-Buff based approach performs superior in predicting solution activities of liquid mixtures. The new tert-butanol model has been used to examine the solution structure and hydrophobic interactions in aqueous tert-butanol at the various mixture compositions. A comparison is made with structural data obtained by neutron diffraction.     

Kirkwood-Buff theory of four and higher component mixtures

Explicit expressions are developed for the chemical potential derivatives, partial molar volumes, and isothermal compressibility of solution mixtures involving four components at finite concentrations using the Kirkwood-Buff theory of solutions. In addition, a general recursion relationship is provided which can be used to generate the chemical potential derivatives for higher component solutions.     

The structure of binary liquids. The Kirkwood-Buff theory of liquid mixtures,illustrated on the basis of the systems water/methanol,water/ethanol,and cyclohexane/2,3-dimethylbutane,as a link between thermodynamic data and x-ray and neutron scattering results

With the help of the Kirkwood-Buff theory of liquid mixtures it is demonstrated that there is a close relationship between, on the one hand, x-ray and neutron scattering intensities from liquid mixtures and, on the other hand, certain thermodynamic properties of the systems considered. This relationship can be utilized without having to specify the intermolecular interaction potential and without having to perform computer simulation calculations. In the present paper the Kirkwood-Buff theory is applied to liquid water and to the binary systems H₂O/MeOH, H₂O/EtOH, and cyclohexane/2,3-dimethyl-butane. On the basis of these examples it is explained that, from the thermodynamic quantities used, the detailed shape of the various molecular radial distribution functions cannot be established. However, in principle this information could well be obtained from the x-ray and neutron scattering intensities of the liquids that are being studied, provided an acceptable procedure could be found to isolate the different radial distribution functions. In this respect the information extracted from thermodynamic data would be essential since, in the first place, it provides a valuable way of normalization of the scattered intensity, and, in the second place, for multicomponent liquids it puts forward specific conditions to be satisfied by the various radial distribution functions.
