利用激光闪光光解技术研究了蒽醌-2-磺酸钠(AQS)在吡啶离子液体N-丁基吡啶四氟硼酸盐([BPy][BF₄])与水(H₂O)混合体系中的光化学反应过程. 实验结果表明,AQS的激发三重态(³AQS^*) 会与H₂O快速反应,不断增加[BPy][BF₄]在混合体系中的体积比(V_IL),瞬态吸收光谱发生了很大变化. 510 nm附近的瞬态吸收带变化最大,在0< V_IL< 0.1时,吸光度会随着[BPy][BF₄]的增加而增加;而在V_IL>0.1时,吸光度则随着比例的增加而减小. 然而380 nm附近吸收带的吸光度却一直在增加. 通过拟合近似地得到了瞬态物种B和³AQS^*的表观动力学参数. 另外还讨论了³AQS^* 与阳离子之间的夺氢反应,通过对350~420 nm处光谱图的分析,推断出这一范围的瞬态吸收光谱是³AQS^*与AQSH^·的叠加谱. 在混合体系中,³AQS^*分别与H₂O和[BPy][BF₄]的反应是一对竞争反应. 还发现在高浓度的离子液体环境下,体系的整体反应速率会减弱.

A short review on stable metal nanoparticles using ionic liquids,supported ionic liquids,and poly(ionic liquids)

Metal nanoparticles (NPs) are a subject of global interest in research community due to their diverse applications in various fields of science. The stabilization of these metal NPs is of great concern in order to avoid their agglomerization during their applications. There is a huge pool of cations and anions available for the selection of ionic liquids (ILs) as stabilizers for the synthesis of metal NPs. ILs are known for their tunable nature allowing the fine tuning of NPs size and solubility by varying the substitutions on the heteroatom as well as the counter anions. However, there has been a debate over the stability of metal NPs stabilized by ILs over a long period of time and also upon their recycling and reuse in organocatalytic reactions. ILs covalently attached to solid supports (SILLPs) have given a new dimension for the stabilization of metal NPs as well as their separation, recovery, and reuse in organocatalytic reactions. Poly(ILs) (PILs) or polyelectrolytes have created a significant revolution in the polymer science owing to their characteristic properties of polymers as well as ILs. This dual behavior of PILs has facilitated the stabilization of PIL-stabilized metal NPs over a long period of time with negligible or no change in particle size, stability, and size distribution upon recycling in catalysis. This review provides an insight into the different types of imidazolium-based ILs, supported ILs, and PILs used so far for the stabilization of metal NPs and their applications as a function of their cations and counter anions.     

ESR studies on the pressure and temperature dependence of electron self-exchange kinetics between tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and its radical cation in ionic liquids and organic solvents

The question whether chemical reactions and diffusion processes in ionic liquids are comparable with those taking place in classical organic liquids is a current issue in the literature. Pressure- and temperature-dependent investigations on simple electron self-exchange reactions between the two partners of a redox couple are good tools to get a better understanding of how the solvent influences such reactions. The electron self-exchange reaction between tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and its radical cation has been investigated in two ionic liquids and two organic solvents using electron spin resonance (ESR) line broadening experiments at variable temperature and pressure. Rate constants are reported for the ionic liquids 1-ethyl-3methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([emim⁺][Tf₂N^?]) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([bmim⁺][Tf₂N^?]) within a temperature range of 298 K ≤ T ≤ 368 K and a pressure range of 0.1 MPa ≤ p ≤ 100 MPa. The self-exchange reaction of the redox couple [TTF/TTF^?+] has been found to be diffusion-controlled in the used ionic liquids over the entire temperature range. The observed rate constants in ionic liquids at higher pressures are larger than those predicted by common diffusion, and suggest that the electron transfer takes place within a solvent cage. Also, the self-exchange reaction of the [TTF/TTF^?+] redox couple in classical solvents (dimethylphthalate (DMP) and acetonitrile) was investigated and compared to the results with those obtained in ionic liquids. The high viscosity of the ionic liquids makes it difficult to extract the electron transfer rate constants reliably, making interpretation within the framework of the Marcus Theory impossible.     

Synthesis and application of task-specific ionic liquids used as catalysts and/or solvents in organic unit reactions

Laser performance studies of para-(phenylene-ethynylene) polymers in organic solvents

The lasing performance of the polymers poly(2,5-dioctadecyloxy-paraphenylene-ethynylene-co-2,5-thienyl) (OPT) and poly(2,5-dioctadecyloxy-paraphenylene-ethynylene-co-2,5-pyridinyl) (OPP) in organic solvents was studied. A two-mirror resonator was transversally pumped using single pulses of the second harmonic of a mode-locked ruby laser. OPT in tetrahydrofuran lased in the region from 480 nm to 525nm and OPP in tetrahydrofuran showed laser action in the region from 460 nm to 490nm. The polymer solutions are characterized by absorption and fluorescence spectroscopic analysis. Effective stimulated emission cross-sections are reported. High excited-state absorption cross-sections and residual ground-state absorption reduce the lasing efficiency. This revised version was published online in November 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Aggregates in mixtures of ionic liquids

Surfactant-like ionic liquids (C₁₆MIMCl, C₁₆MIMBF₄) aggregate in mixtures with another ionic liquid (EAN). Critical aggregate concentrations and estimations of object sizes are given and compared to aqueous systems and other relevant literature data.

Advances in QSPR/QSTR models of ionic liquids for the design of greener solvents of the future

In order to protect the life of all creatures living in the environment, the toxicity arising from various hazardous chemicals must be controlled. This imposes a serious responsibility on different chemical, pharmaceutical, and other biological industries to produce less harmful chemicals. Among various international initiatives on harmful aspects of chemicals, the ‘Green Chemistry’ ideology appears to be one of the most highlighted concepts that focus on the use of eco-friendly chemicals. Ionic liquids are a comparatively new addition to the huge garrison of chemical compounds released from the industry. Extensive research on ionic liquids in the past decade has shown them to be highly useful chemicals with a good degree of thermal and chemical stability, appreciable task specificity and minimal environmental release resulting in a notion of ‘green chemical’. However, studies have also shown that ionic liquids are not intrinsically non-toxic agents and can pose severe degree of toxicity as well as the risk of bioaccumulation depending upon their structural components. Moreover, ionic liquids possess issues of waste generation during synthesis as well as separation problems. Predictive quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) models constitute a rational opportunity to explore the structural attributes of ionic liquids towards various physicochemical and toxicological endpoints and thereby leading to the design of environmentally more benevolent analogues with higher process selectivity. Such studies on ionic liquids have been less extensive compared to other industrial chemicals. The present review attempts to summarize different QSAR studies performed on these chemicals and also highlights the safety, health and environmental issues along with the application specificity on the dogma of ‘green chemistry’.     

Structure and diffusion in mixtures of ionic liquids

The properties of ionic mixtures of LiBr-KBr are investigated on the basis of molecular dynamics calculations, using the Tosi-Fumi pair-potentials. The determination of the excess internal energy of mixing indicates the predominant negative contribution of the coulomb energy. The position of the first peak of the anion-cation radial distribution function depends strongly on the size of the ions and its height is much influenced by the strength of the coulomb forces. It is shown that the equivalent coordination numbers vary from about 4 for the Li-Br pair to 6 for the K-Br pair. These numbers do not change very much when the composition is varied.

The ionic dynamics is analysed through the brownian-like formalism which gives a useful connection between the structure and the particle motion. Two mechanisms are involved in the diffusion process: an oscillation of the particle in the force field of the neighbouring particles and a collective mode of motion which has a longer relaxation time. The strong anion-cation correlation, which mainly affects the smallest cation, dominates when the charge ordering (quasi-lattice structure) vanishes.
