چکیده

The addition of carbon dioxide to four superbase ionic liquids, [P3333][Benzim], [P3333][124Triz], [P3333][123Triz] and [P3333][Bentriz] was studied using a molecular DFT approach involving anions alone and individual ion pairs. Intermolecular bonding within the individual ion pairs is characterised by a number of weak hydrogen bonds, with the superbase anion geometrically arranged so as to maximize interactions between the heterocyclic N atoms and the cation. The pairing energies show no correlation to the observed CO2 adsorption capacity. Addition of CO2 to the anion alone clearly resulted in the formation of a covalently-bound carbamate function with the strength of binding correlated to experimental capacity. In the ion pair however the cation significantly alters the nature of the bonding such that the overall cohesive energy is reduced. Formation of a strong carbamate function occurs at the expense of weakening the interaction between anion and cation. In the more weakly absorbing ion pairs which contain [123Triz](-) and [Bentriz](-), the carbamate-functionalised systems are very close in energy to adducts in which CO2 is more weakly bound, suggesting an equilibrium between the chemi- and physisorbed CO2.

Mechanisms of CO2 capture in ionic liquids: a computational perspective.

We present computational studies of CO2 sorption in two different classes of ionic liquid. The addition of carbon dioxide to four superbase ionic liquids, [P3333][Benzim], [P3333][124Triz], [P3333][123Triz] and [P3333][Bentriz], was studied using the DFT approach and considering anions alone and individual ion pairs. The addition of CO2 to the anion alone clearly resulted in the formation of a ...

سنتز و بررسی رفتار حرارتی مایعات یونی هایپرگول جدید بر پایه کاتیون ایمیدازولیوم و آنیون دی سیانامید

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...
