Data of interaction of supported ionic liquids phases onto copper nanoparticles: A density functional theory study.

ABSTRACT: This work contains data on the computational, structural, and electronic characterization of supported ionic liquids phases anchored to copper nanoparticles using Density Functional theory calculations. The data supplement the paper "Interaction of supported ionic liquids phases onto copper nanoparticles: A Density Functional Theory study" [1], based on the adsorption of ionic liquid onto a Cu nanoparticle is analyzed from a chemical and physical point of view. The chemical analysis is based on Atoms in Molecule theory (AIM) and allows us to differentiate the chemical binding nature between ionic liquid and copper nanoparticle. On the other hand, the energy decomposition analysis based on absolutely localized molecular orbital (ALMO-EDA) describes the physical contributions that govern the interaction between ionic liquid and the copper nanoparticles. Herein, detailed and extended information in the synthesis and computational characterization are presented.
