Peculiar Concentration Dependence of H/D Exchange Reaction in 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium Tetrafluoroborate-D2O Mixtures

چکیده
We have investigated the H/D exchange reaction between heavy water and an ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim][BF4]), throughout the whole concentration region as a function of D2O mol% at room temperature. We expected that the extent of the H/D reaction would increase linearly with increasing content of D2O, but the results show an extended N-shaped behavior having a small maximum at around 40 mol% and the reaction becomes very slow at a specific concentration around 80 mol%. We found that this non-linear concentration dependence correlates with the pD dependence of the solutions.

Effects of water and methanol on the molecular organization of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate as functions of pressure and concentration.
The structural organization in mixtures of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim][BF(4)])/water or methanol was studied by infrared spectroscopy. No drastic change in the concentration dependence of the alkyl C-H band frequency was observed at high concentration of the ionic liquid. This behavior indicates a clustering of the ionic liquid in alkyl regions. Nevertheless, the prese...

We have investigated the aggregation behaviors of water molecules in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate/water mixtures using high-pressure methods. Under ambient pressure, the IR spectra indicate that two types of O-H species: free O-H and bonded O-H, existing in ionic liquid/water mixtures. As samples were compressed, a continuous loss of the free O-H band intensity was observed. Th...

Soybean peroxidase (SBP) was used to catalyze the polymerization of phenols in room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs). Phenolic polymers with number average molecular weights ranging from 1200 to 4100 D were obtained depending on the composition of the reaction medium and the nature of the phenol. Specifically, SBP was highly active in methylimidazolium-containing RTILs, including 1-butyl-3-met...
