Linear free energy relationship (LFER) correlations for the solubilising characterisation of room temperature ionic liquids containing triethylsulphonium and 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium cations

Gas-to-room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) partition coefficients have been compiled from the published literature for solutes dissolved in triethylsulphonium bis(trifluoromethylsulphonyl)imide, {[E₃S]⁺[(Tf)₂N]^?}, and in 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium trifluoromethanesulphonate, {[BMPyr]⁺[Trif]^?}.

Liquid–Liquid Equilibria for Extraction of Citrus Essential Oil Using Ionic Liquids

The object of this study was to measure the liquid–liquid equilibria (LLE) data of binary mixtures containing ionic liquids and citrus essential oil. We investigated linalool as the citrus essential oil, and 1-alkyl-3-methyl-imidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ([C _n MIM]⁺[TFSI]^?) as the ionic liquid. Firstly, the experimental apparatus and procedure for the LLE measurement of mixtures containing ionic liquids were verified by measuring the LLE of the binary mixture 1-hexyl-3-methyl-imidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ([C₆MIM]⁺[TFSI]^?) + 1-hexanol as a reference test system recommended by Marsh et al. (Pure Appl Chem 81:781–789, 2009). Next, the LLE data for IL + linalool were obtained, and the LLE data of two binary mixtures 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ([C₄MIM]⁺[TFSI]^?) or [C₆MIM]⁺[TFSI]^? + linalool were determined. The experimental LLE data were satisfactorily represented by the non-random two-liquid model.     

Void‐Assisted Ion‐Paired Proton Transfer at Water–Ionic Liquid Interfaces

At the water–trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium tris(pentafluoroethyl)trifluorophosphate ([P_14,6,6,6][FAP]) ionic liquid interface, the unusual electrochemical transfer behavior of protons (H⁺) and deuterium ions (D⁺) was identified. Alkali metal cations (such as Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺) did not undergo this transfer. H⁺/D⁺ transfers were assisted by the hydrophobic counter anion of the ionic liquid, [FAP]^?, resulting in the formation of a mixed capacitive layer from the filling of the latent voids within the anisotropic ionic liquid structure. This phenomenon could impact areas such as proton‐coupled electron transfers, fuel cells, and hydrogen storage where ionic liquids are used as aprotic solvents.

Experimental solubility, acid-dissociation constants (pK_a) and activity coefficient data have been compiled from the published pharmaceutical and chemical literature for neutral organic molecules and ionic species dissolved in anhydrous 1,2-propylene glycol. The compiled experimental data were transformed into molar solubility ratios, water-to-anhydrous propylene glycol (P) and gas-to-anhydrous propylene glycol (K) using standard thermodynamic relationships. The derived Abraham model correlations described the observed solubility and partition coefficient data of neutral organic compounds and ionic species to within 0.18 log units and 0.18 log units (or less), respectively.     

Ion-specific equation coefficient version of the Abraham model for ionic liquid solvents: determination of coefficients for tributylethylphosphonium, 1-butyl-1-methylmorpholinium, 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium and octyltriethylammonium cations

Gas-to-ionic liquid partition coefficient data have been assembled from the published chemical literature for solutes dissolved in 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide, 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulphonyl)imide, octyltriethylammonium bis(trifluomethyl-sulphonyl)imide, tributylethylphosphonium diethylphosphate and 1-butyl-1-methylmorpholinium tricyanomethanide. The published experimental data were converted to water-to-ionic liquid partition coefficients using standard thermodynamic relationships. Both sets of partition coefficients were correlated with the Abraham solvation parameter model. The derived Abraham model correlations described the observed partition coefficient data to within 0.13 log units. Cation-specific equation coefficients were calculated for each of the cations present in the five ionic liquid solvents studied. The calculated cation-specific equation coefficients can be combined with previously reported ion-specific equation coefficients for 19 different anions to yield Abraham model correlations for predicting the partitioning the behaviour of solutes in 76 different anhydrous ionic liquid solvents.

The equation coefficients are reported for the 1-hexyloxymethyl-3-methylimidazolium and 1,3-dihexyloxymethylimidazolium cations. The calculated cation coefficients can be combined with our previously determined nine sets of anion-specific equation coefficients to yield expressions capable of predicting the partition coefficients of solutes in 18 different RTILs.     

Volumetric properties of ternary (IL + 2-propanol or 1-butanol or 2-butanol + ethyl acetate) systems and binary (IL + 2-propanol or 1-butanol or 2-butanol) and (1-butanol or 2-butanol + ethyl acetate) systems

The experimental densities for the binary or ternary systems were determined at T = (298.15, 303.15, and 313.15) K. The ionic liquid methyl trioctylammonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([MOA]⁺[Tf₂N]⁻) was used for three of the five binary systems studied. The binary systems were ([MOA]⁺[Tf₂N]⁻ + 2-propanol or 1-butanol or 2-butanol) and (1-butanol or 2-butanol + ethyl acetate). The ternary systems were {methyl trioctylammonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide + 2-propanol or 1-butanol or 2-butanol + ethyl acetate}. The binary and ternary excess molar volumes for the above systems were calculated from the experimental density values for each temperature. The Redlich–Kister smoothing polynomial was fitted to the binary excess molar volume data. Virial-Based Mixing Rules were used to correlate the binary excess molar volume data. The binary excess molar volume results showed both negative and positive values over the entire composition range for all the temperatures.The ternary excess molar volume data were successfully correlated with the Cibulka equation using the Redlich–Kister binary parameters.     

Development of Abraham model IL-specific correlations for N-triethyl(octyl)ammonium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide and 1-butyl-3-methylpyrrolidinium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide

ABSTRACT

Abraham model correlations are derived for describing gas-to-ionic liquid and water-to-ionic liquid partition coefficients from published experimental data for solutes dissolved in both N-triethyl(octyl)ammonium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide and 1-butyl-3-methyl-pyrrolidinium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide. Derived Abraham model correlations describe the observed partition coefficient data to within 0.13 log units. As part of the current study the existing equation coefficients for the N-triethyl(octyl)ammonium cation were updated and reported for the first time were equation coefficients for the bis(trifluorosulfonyl)imide anion.     

Solubility of CO2 in 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-3-methylimidazolium ionic liquids with different anions

The solubility of carbon dioxide in a series of 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-3-methylimidazolium ([hemim]⁺) based ionic liquids (ILs) with different anions, viz. hexafluorophosphate ([PF₆]^?), trifluoromethanesulfonate ([OTf]^?), and bis-(trifluoromethyl)sulfonylimide ([Tf₂N]^?) at temperatures ranging from 303.15 K to 353.15 K and pressures up to 1.3 MPa were determined. The solubility data were correlated using the Krichevsky–Kasarnovsky equation and Henry’s law constants were obtained at different temperatures. Using the solubility data, the partial molar thermodynamic functions of solution such as Gibbs free energy, enthalpy, and entropy were calculated. Comparison showed that the solubility of CO₂ in the ILs studied follows the same behaviour as the corresponding conventional 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ([emim]⁺) based ILs with the same anions, i.e. [hemim][NTf₂] > [hemim][OTf] > [hemim][PF₆] > [hemim][BF₄].     

Enantioseparation of rabeprazole and omeprazole by nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis with an ephedrine-based ionic liquid as the chiral selector

An ephedrine‐based chiral ionic liquid, (+)‐N,N‐dimethylephedrinium‐bis(trifluoromethanesulfon)imidate ([DMP]⁺[Tf₂N]^‐), served as both chiral selector and background electrolyte in nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis. The enantioseparation of rabeprazole and omeprazole was achieved in acetonitrile–methanol (60:40 v/v) containing 60 mm [DMP]⁺[Tf₂N]^‐. The influences of separation conditions, including the concentration of [DMP]⁺[Tf₂N]^‐, the electrophoretic media and the buffer, on enantioseparation were evaluated. The mechanism of enantioseparation was investigated and discussed. Ion‐pair interaction and hydrogen bonding may be responsible for the main separation mechanism.

Infinite Dilution Activity Coefficients and Gas-to-Liquid Partition Coefficients of Organic Solutes Dissolved in 1-Benzylpyridinium Bis(Trifluoromethylsulfonyl)Imide and 1-Cyclohexylmethyl-1-Methylpyrrolidinium Bis(Trifluoromethylsulfonyl)Imide

Infinite dilution activity coefficients and gas-to-ionic liquid partition coefficients were measured for a chemically diverse set of 48 or more organic solute probes dissolved in the ionic liquids 1-benzylpyridinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([BzPy][Tf₂N]) and 1-cyclohexylmethyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([ChxmPyrr][Tf₂N]) in the temperature range from 323.15 to 373.15 K using inverse gas chromatography. Selectivities and capacities for different separation problems were calculated from the measured chromatographic data. The measured partition coefficients were correlated using mathematical equations based on the Abraham general solvation parameter model. The derived Abraham model correlations back-calculated the observed partition coefficients to within 0.12 log₁₀ units.     

Water‐Free Rare‐Earth‐Metal Ionic Liquids/Ionic Liquid Crystals Based on Hexanitratolanthanate(III) Anion

The hexanitratolanthanate anion (La(NO₃)₆^3?) is an interesting symmetric anion suitable to construct the component of water‐free rare‐earth‐metal ionic liquids. The syntheses and structural characterization of eleven lanthanum nitrate complexes, [C_nmim]₃[La(NO₃)₆] (n=1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 14, 16, 18), including 1,3‐dimethylimidazolium hexanitratolanthanate ([C₁mim]₃[La(NO₃)₆], 1 ), 1‐ethyl‐3‐methylimidazolium hexanitratolanthanate ([C₂mim]₃[La(NO₃)₆], 2 ), 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium hexanitratolanthanate ([C₄mim]₃[La(NO₃)₆], 3 ), 1‐isobutyl‐3‐methylimidazolium hexanetratolanthanate ([isoC₄mim]₃[La(NO₃)₆], 4 ), 1‐methyl‐3‐(3′‐methylbutyl)imidazolium hexanitratolanthanate ([MC₄mim]₃[La(NO₃)₆], 5 ), 1‐hexyl‐3‐methylimidazolium hexanitratolanthanate ([C₆mim]₃[La(NO₃)₆], 6 ), 1‐methyl‐3‐octylimidazolium hexanitratolanthanate ([C₈mim]₃[La(NO₃)₆], 7 ), 1‐dodecyl‐3‐methylimidazolium hexanitratolanthanate ([C₁₂mim]₃[La(NO₃)₆], 8 ), 1‐methyl‐3‐tetradecylimidazolium hexanitratolanthanate ([C₁₄mim]₃[La‐(NO₃)₆], 9 ), 1‐hexadecyl‐3‐methylimid‐azolium hexanitratolanthanum ([C₁₆dmim]₃[La(NO₃)₆], 10 ), and 1‐methyl‐3‐octadecylimidazolium hexanitratolanthanate ([C₁₈mim]₃[La(NO₃)₆], 11 ) are reported. All new compounds were characterized by ¹H and ¹³C NMR, and IR spectroscopy as well as elemental analysis. The crystal structure of compound 1 was determined by using single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, giving the following crystallographic information: monoclinic; P2₁/c; a=15.3170 (3), b=14.2340 (2), c=13.8954(2) Å; β=94.3453(15)°, V=3020.80(9) ų, Z=4, ρ=1.764 g cm^?3. The coordination polyhedron around the lanthanum ion is rationalized by six nitrate anions with twelve oxygen atoms. No hydrogen‐bonding network or water molecule was found in 1 . The thermodynamic stability of the new complexes was investigated by using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The water‐free hexanitratolanthanate ionic liquids are thermal and moisture stable. Four complexes, namely complexes 8 – 11 , were found to be ionic liquid crystals by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarizing optical microscopy (POM). They all present smectic A liquid‐crystalline phase.     

A fast atom bombardment mass spectrometric study of room-temperature 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloroaluminate(III) ionic liquids. Evidence for the existence of the decachlorotrialuminate(III) anion

Previous studies of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride–aluminium(III) chloride ([emim]Cl–AlCl₃) ionic liquids have been hampered by significant contamination of these liquids by oxide impurities. Treatment of these liquids with phosgene removes the oxide impurities, and the use of a specially constructed sample inlet system for air-sensitive materials permitted them to be studied by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry. The ions Cl^?, [Cl₂]^?, [AlCl₄]^?, [Al₂Cl₇]^?, [emim]⁺ and [(emim)₂X]⁺ (X = Cl or AlCl₄) were observed for the basic ionic liquid. In addition, the anion [Al₃Cl₁₀]^? was observed for the acidic composition. Within the mass spectrometer, the hydrolyses of [Al₃Cl₁₀]^? to produce [Al₃C_l8O]^? and of [Al₂Cl₇]^? to produce [Al₂Cl₅O]^? were observed. Comparison of these results with published ¹⁷O NMR data suggests that the primary hydrolysis products in acidic ionic liquids are [Al₃Cl₈O]^? and [Al₂Cl₅O]^? and that the principal secondary hydrolysis product is [Al₂Cl₆(OH)]^?.     

Measurement of vapor–liquid equilibria (VLE) and excess enthalpies (H) of binary systems with 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide and prediction of these properties and γ using modified UNIFAC (Dortmund)

Vapor–liquid equilibria (VLE) and excess enthalpies (H^E) were measured for a variety of alkanes, alkenes, aromatics, alcohols, ketones and water in several ionic liquids, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide [EMIM]⁺[BTI]⁻, 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide [BMIM]⁺[BTI]⁻, 1-hexyl-3-methyl-imidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide [HMIM]⁺[BTI]⁻ and 1-octyl-3-methyl-imidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide [OMIM]⁺[BTI]⁻, covering the temperature range from 323.15 to 413.15 K. The new data were used together with the already available experimental data for imidazolium compounds to fit the required group interaction parameters for modified UNIFAC (Dortmund). The results show that in the future modified UNIFAC (Dortmund) can be applied successfully also for systems with ionic liquids.     

[Bis(imidazolyl)–BH2]+[Bis(triazolyl)–BH2]− Ionic Liquids with High Density and Energy Capacity

[Bis(imidazolyl)–BH₂]⁺[bis(triazolyl)–BH₂]^? and [bis(imidazolyl)–BH₂]⁺[tris(triazolyl)–BH]^? were synthesized, the cations and anions of which were functionalized with B?H groups and azoles. As B?H groups contribute to the hypergolic activity and azole groups improve the energy output, the resulting ionic liquids exhibited ignition delay times as low as 20 ms and energy outputs as high as 461.1 kJ mol^?1. In addition, densities (1.07–1.22 g cm^?3) and density‐specific impulse (≈360 s g cm^?3) values reached a relatively high level. These ionic liquids show great promise as sustainable rocket fuels.     

Solvent-Impregnated Resins Based on the Mixture of (2-Diphenylphosphoryl)-4-ethylphenoxy)methyl) diphenylphosphine Oxide and Ionic Liquid for Nd(III) Recovery from Nitric Acid Media

Novel solvent-impregnated resins (SIRs) were prepared by treatment of styrene–divinylbenzene copolymer (LPS-500) with mixtures of the promising polydentante extractant (2-diphenylphosphoryl)-4-ethylphenoxy)methyl)diphenylphosphine oxide (L) and an ionic liquid [C₄mim]⁺[Tf₂N]⁻for the extraction chromatography recovery of Nd(III) from nitric acid solutions. It was shown that introduction of the ionic liquid into the SIR composition results in considerable enhancement of the Nd(III) recovery efficiency compared with resin impregnated only by L in slightly acidic media. The influence of the L: ionic liquid molar ratio in the SIRs composition, their percentages, concentration of metal and HNO₃ in the eluent, and acid type on the value of synergistic effect and adsorption efficiency of Nd(III) recovery was studied. The SIR containing 40% of mixture of L and [C₄mim]⁺[Tf₂N]⁻ with molar ratio 2:1 turned out to be the most efficient. The selectivity of Nd(III) separation from light and heavy rare-earth elements was studied and the optimal conditions of Nd(III) adsorption recovery and stripping by this SIR were chosen. It was found that in recovery efficiency of Nd(III) developed SIR exceeded the SIR containing Cyanex 923 (a mixture of monodentate trialkylphosphine oxides) and [C₄mim]⁺[Tf₂N]⁻.
