چکیده

Efficient CO2 capture by ionic liquids needs a thorough understanding of underlying mechanisms of the CO2 interaction with ionic liquids, especially when it involves chemisorption. In this work we have systematically investigated the mechanism of CO2 capture by 1,3 di-substituted imidazolium acetate ionic liquids using density functional theory. Solvent effects are analyzed using QM/MM and QM/QM approaches with the help of molecular dynamics simulations and ONIOM methods. The investigation of different stepwise mechanisms shows that CO2 could be involved in the first step of the reaction mechanism, also a new two-step mechanism is proposed. The final stabilization step is analyzed and pointed out to be responsible for important experimentally-observed features of the reaction.

Comparison of different ionic liquids pretreatment for barley straw enzymatic saccharification

Recently, application of ionic liquids due to their special solvency properties as a promising method of pretreatment for lignocellulosic biomass has received much attention. Chemical stability, temperature stability, non-flammability, low vapor pressure, wide liquidus range, and non-toxicity are among those unique properties. These solvents are also known as green solvents due to non-toxicity ...

H-imidazolium Acidic Ionic Liquids as Efficient Catalysts in the Synthesis of Xanthenes under Solvent-Free Conditions

Bifunctional acidic ionic liquids, having both H-imidazolium and -SO3H groups as cation moieties (H-BFAILs) and CF3SO3- as anion, were synthesized in high yields. These H-BFAILs showed significant hydrophilic properties, lower acidity and higher thermal stability relative to common ionic liquids, due to their unique structures. The (propyl or butyl-3-sulfonic) imidazolium trifluoromethane sulfo...

Some mono and di imidazolium-based ionic liquids with dicyanamide were synthesized and characterized. The synthesis of these compoundes were done based on alkylation reaction of N-methylimidazole followed by anion exchange. The structure of novel ionic liquids were identified by using FT-IR, 1HNMR spectroscopies and elemental analysis. Among the synthesized ionic liquids, thermal properties of ...

Reaction of elemental chalcogens with imidazolium acetates to yield imidazole-2-chalcogenones: direct evidence for ionic liquids as proto-carbenes.

Mechanistic analysis of the reaction between elemental sulfur or selenium and 1,3-dialkylimidazolium acetate ionic liquids, in the absence of an external base or solvent, affords evidence for the equilibrium presence of carbene species in these ionic liquids. It demonstrates the potential to control, through anion selection, the concentration of carbene in stable ionic liquids.
