Mutual Lewis Acid–Base Interactions of Cations and Anions in Ionic Liquids

چکیده
Solute properties are known to be strongly influenced by solvent molecules due to solvation. This is due to mutual interaction as both the properties of the solute and of the solvent strongly depend on each other. The present paper is based on the idea that ionic liquids are cations solvated by anions and anions solvated by cations. To show this (in this system strongly pronounced) interaction the long time established donor-acceptor concept for solvents and ions in solution by Viktor Gutmann is extended to ionic liquids. A number of solvent parameters, such as the Kamlet-Abboud-Taft and the Dimroth-Reichardt E(T) scale for ionic liquids neglect this mutual influence, which, however, seems to be in fact necessary to get a proper description of ionic liquid properties. It is shown how strong such parameters vary when the influence of the counter ion is taken into account. Furthermore, acceptor and donor numbers for ionic liquids are presented.

A hypergolic bipropellant s consist of fuels and oxidizers that can ignite rapidly upon mixing without external ignition devices . This self –ignition technology makes the engine ignition more reliable with repeated use. Recently, ionic liquids with the dicyanamide anion which shown good hypergolic properties when contacted with common oxidizer such as concentrated nitric acid, were attracte...
متن کاملEnhanced stability of the model mini-protein in amino acid ionic liquids and their aqueous solutions
Using molecular dynamics simulations, the structure of model mini-protein was thoroughly characterized in the imidazolium-based amino acid ionic liquids and their aqueous solutions. Complete substitution of water by organic cations and anions further results in hindered conformational flexibility of the mini-protein. This observation suggests that amino acid-based ionic liquids are able to defe...
متن کاملUnique spatial heterogeneity in ionic liquids.
A multiscale coarse-graining model for ionic liquids has been extended to investigate the unique aggregation of cations in ionic liquids through computer simulation. It has been found that, with sufficiently long side chains, the tail groups of cations aggregate to form spatially heterogeneous domains, while headgroups of the cations and the anions distribute as uniformly as possible. This is u...

In this work, an equation of state (EoS) is developed to predict accurately the phase behavior of ionic liquid + CO2 systems based on the truncated perturbed chain polar statistical associating fluid theory (tPC-PSAFT) EoS. This EoS accounts explicitly for the dipolar interactions between ionic liquid molecules, the quadrupolar interactions between CO2 molecules, and the Lewis acid-base type of...
متن کاملEvaluating the Interactions of Co2-Ionic Liquid Systems through Molecular Modeling
Owing to the stringent environmental legislations, CO2 capture and sequestration is one of the viable solutions to reduce the CO2 emissions from various sources. In this context, Ionic liquids (ILs) are being investigated as suitable absorption media for CO2 capture. Due to their non-evaporative, non-toxic, and non-corrosive nature, these ILs have the potential to replace the existing solvents ...
