Classical Density Functional Theory of Ionic Liquids

Synthesis and Thermal Characterization of Mono and Dicationic Imidazolium Pyridinium Based Ionic Liquids

A series of monocationic and dicationic ionic liquids, in which each ionic liquid is associated with dicyanamide anion, are synthesized. The molecular structures of these compounds were identified by 1H-NMR, FT-IR and CHN analysis. Thermal behaviors of these ionic liquids were also investigated by thermogravimetry (TGA). The results suggested that all new ionic liquids have reasonable thermal s...

Solution and thermal behaviour of novel dicationic imidazolium ionic liquids.

A new class of functionalised dicationic ionic liquids, containing a central cationic unit capped by a basic functionality (imidazole), has been synthesised. These salts have been characterised in isotropic solution using proton and 2D-NMR spectroscopy, and their thermal stability has been studied by DSC and TGA. All these novel salts contain the 1-(1-imidazolylmethyl)-3,5-di{1-(3'-octylimidazo...

Pyridinium based ionic liquids as promoters for a green and selective synthesis of N-monomethylanilines

Pyridinium based ionic liquids derived from β-picoline and n-alkylbromides were synthesized by a simple procedure at ambient temperature and then characterized. These neutral ionic liquids were investigated for their dual role as the solvent and promoter for the selective synthesis of a series of N-monomethylanilines using dimethylcarbonate as the methylating agent. A solvent free gree...

Classical density functional theory & simulations on a coarse-grained model of aromatic ionic liquids.

A new classical density functional approach is developed to accurately treat a coarse-grained model of room temperature aromatic ionic liquids. Our major innovation is the introduction of charge-charge correlations, which are treated in a simple phenomenological way. We test this theory on a generic coarse-grained model for aromatic RTILs with oligomeric forms for both cations and anions, appro...
