Insights on cholinium- and piperazinium-based ionic liquids under external electric fields: a molecular dynamics study.

چکیده
The rotational and translational response of cholinium benzoate, cholinium salicylate, piperazinium benzoate, and piperazinium salicylate to static and dynamic external electric fields was studied using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. The existence of strong intrinsic electric fields in the studied fluids requires intensities larger than 0.25 V Å(-1) to obtain remarkable changes in the fluids' properties, such as rotational motion, dipolar alignment, or ion diffusivities. Very effective dipolar alignment with the applied fields is obtained showing rotational motions in the direction of the applied field, increasing with field intensity and decreasing with field frequency. Translational movement is clearly improved by the applied fields specially for strong fields and low frequencies, which lead to ionic diffusivities increasing up to two orders of magnitude for the stronger fields in comparison with zero field situations, and thus, increasing remarkably fluids' electrical conductivity. The effect of external electric fields on the studied ionic liquids is weaker than in common imidazolium-based ionic liquids.

Disordering and reordering of ionic liquids under an external electric field.
The previous study (Wang and Voth, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005, 127, 12192) has shown that the nonpolar alkyl cationic tail groups of ionic liquids can aggregate and form nanoscale spatial heterogeneity. To facilitate applications of ionic liquids under nonequilibrium conditions, it is of great interest to see how this spatial heterogeneity of ionic liquids changes when an external electric field is...
متن کاملIntrinsic electric fields in ionic liquids determined by vibrational Stark effect spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulation.
The electric fields of ionic liquids are only slightly higher than those of common molecular solvents, and are strongly structure-dependent; they noticeably decrease with anion size because of increased separation of ions, and slightly decrease as the alkyl chain elongates due to increasing spatial heterogeneity. These were the key results of vibrational Stark effect spectroscopy and molecular ...

متن کاملExtraction and stability of bovine serum albumin (BSA) using cholinium-based Good's buffers ionic liquids.
Good's buffers ionic liquids (GB-ILs), composed of cholinium-based cations and Good's buffers anions, display self-buffering characteristics in the biological pH range, and their polarity and hydrophobicity can be easily tuned by a proper manipulation of their ions chemical structures. In this work, the extraction ability for bovine serum albumin (BSA) of aqueous biphasic systems (ABS) formed b...
