Coordination of the Co²⁺ and Ni²⁺ Ions in Tf₂N^- Based Ionic Liquids: A Combined X-ray Absorption and Molecular Dynamics Study.

ABSTRACT: Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) have been combined to study the coordination of the Co²⁺ and Ni²⁺ ions in ionic liquids (ILs) based on the bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([Tf₂N]^-) anion and having different organic cations, namely, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium ([C₄mim]⁺), 1,8-bis(3-methylimidazolium-1-yl)octane ([C₈(mim)₂]²⁺), N,N,N-trimethyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium ([choline]⁺), and butyltrimethylammonium ([BTMA]⁺). Co and Ni K-edge XAS data have been collected on 0.1 mol L^-1 Co(Tf₂N)₂ and Ni(Tf₂N)₂ solutions and on the metallic salts. MD simulations have been carried out to obtain structural information on the metal ion coordination. The analysis of the extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectra of the solutions has been carried out based on the atomistic description provided by MD, and the studied ILs have been found to be able to dissolve both the Co(Tf₂N)₂ and Ni(Tf₂N)₂ salts giving rise to a different structural arrangement around the metal ions as compared to the solid state. The combined EXAFS and MD results showed that the Co²⁺ and Ni²⁺ ions are surrounded by a first solvation shell formed by six [Tf₂N]^- anions, each coordinating in a monodentate fashion by means of the oxygen atoms. The nature of the IL organic cation has little or no influence on the overall spatial arrangement of the [Tf₂N]^- anions, so that stable octahedral complexes of the type [M(Tf₂N)₆]^4- (M = Co, Ni) have been observed in all the investigated ILs.

Isotropic ordering of ions in ionic liquids on the sub-nanometer scale.

Project description:This article investigates structures of ionic liquids. Using a high-powered multiple-mode two dimensional infrared spectroscopic technique, we measure the anisotropy of interionic vibrational coupling in ionic liquids. Such anisotropy reports the relative orientation between cations and anions. Surprisingly, opposite to the well-propagated idea of ion pairing, a random orientation between the nearest non-spherically symmetric cation and anion is observed in ionic liquids. On the one hand, numerous previous experiments and theoretical calculations have shown that ionic liquids are highly ordered at the mesoscale, forming a bicontinuous nanostructure of ionic domains and hydrophobic domains. On the other hand, our results clearly prove that the ion ordering within the ionic domains is essentially random. Such an ordering at the larger scale (nanometers) and a lack of ordering at the smaller scale (sub-nanometer) is very rare for most liquids, or may even be unique to ionic liquids. Herein, we propose that ionic liquids may be regarded as 3D interconnecting nanocomposites of molten-salt-like domains and molecular-liquid-like domains. Such unique structuring could explain the fact that ionic liquids, like composite materials, often possess favorable properties of both "ionic" and "molecular" components.

Tetrakis(pentafluoroethyl)gallate, [Ga(C2 F5 )4 ]- , Ionic Liquids.

Project description:We synthesized new imidazolium-based tunable aryl alkyl ionic liquids (TAAILs) with the weakly coordinating tetrakis(pentafluoroethyl)gallate anion, [Ga(C2 F5 )4 ]- . Phenyl and phenyl derivatives (2-Me, 4-OMe, 2,4-F) were combined with varying alkyl chain lengths at the imidazolium core leading to TAAILs, which were investigated with regard to their viscosity, conductivity, and electrochemical window and compared to EMIM and BMIM standard cations. Remarkable low viscosities of 29 cP at 25 °C for [BMIM][Ga(C2 F5 )4 ] were achieved. However, the EMIM and BMIM gallates show electrochemical instability, releasing pentafluoroethane at a voltage of 1.5 V. The 2-Me-substituted gallate-TAAILs slowly decompose over several weeks, whereas all other gallate-TAAILs showed no decomposition at all. With electrochemical windows of up to 5.15 V and low viscosities in a range of 66-162 cP, the gallate-TAAILs are promising candidates as electrolytes in electrochemical applications.

Ground electronic state description of thiourea coordination in homoleptic Zn2+, Ni2+ and Co2+ complexes using sulfur K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy.

Project description:Sulfur K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) was employed to experimentally characterize the coordinative bond between the thiourea (TU) or thiocarbamide ligand and transition metal (TM) ions Zn2+, Co2+ and Ni2+ in distorted tetrahedral and octahedral homoleptic coordination environments. Comparisons of XAS spectra of the free TU ligand and [Zn(TU)4]2+, [Co(TU)4]2+ and [Ni(TU)6]2+ complexes clearly identify spectral features unique to TM2+-S(TU) bonding. Quantitative analysis of pre-edge intensities describes the covalency of Ni2+-S(TU) and Co2+-S(TU) bonding to be at most 21% and 9% as expressed by the S 3p contributions per TM 3d electron hole. Using relevant Ni2+ complexes with dithiocarbamate and thioether ligands, we evaluated the empirical S 1s → 3p transition dipole integrals developed for S-donor ligands and their dependence on heteroatom substitutions. With the aid of density functional theory-based ground electronic state calculations, we found evidence for the need of using a transition dipole that is dependent on the presence of conjugated heteroatom (N) substitution in these S-donor ligands.

Highly Efficient Absorption of CO2 by Protic Ionic Liquids-Amine Blends at High Temperatures.

Project description:In view of the increasingly serious harm of CO2 to the environment, it is highly desirable to develop effective CO2 absorbents. In this work, we demonstrated an efficient absorption of CO2 by blends of protic ionic liquids (PILs) plus amines. The density and viscosity of investigative four PILs-amine mixtures were measured. By systematically studying the effects of the solution ratio, temperature, CO2 partial pressure, and water content on the absorption of CO2, it is found that the 3-dimethylamino-1-propylamine acetate ([DMAPAH][OAc]) plus ethanediamine (EDA) mixture shows the highest CO2 uptake of 0.295 g CO2 per g absorbent at 50 °C and 1 bar and a further increase in the absorption of CO2 to 0.299 g/g by adding water with a mass fraction of 20%. Furthermore, the absorption mechanism of CO2 in the presence and absence of water has also been investigated by FTIR and NMR spectra.

Thermophysical Study of Pyridinium-Based Ionic Liquids Sharing Ions.

Project description:The thermophysical properties of three pyridinium-based ionic liquids sharing ions were measured at several temperatures (278.15-338.15) K and at atmospheric pressure (0.1 MPa). Three ionic liquids were studied: 1-butylpyridinium bis(trifluoromethyl-sulfonyl)imide, 1-hexylpyridinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, and 1-hexylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate. The following thermophysical properties were measured: density, speed of sound, refractive index, surface tension, isobaric molar heat capacity, kinematic viscosity, and electrical conductivity. The thermophysical properties at atmospheric pressure were correlated with temperature, noting that the starting temperature for the speed of sound measurements depended on the ionic liquid. From these experimental results, some derived properties (isentropic compressibility, molar refraction, and dynamic viscosity) are calculated. These results together with those published previously for 1-butylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate are discussed.

Significant enhanced uranyl ions extraction efficiency with phosphoramidate-functionalized ionic liquids via synergistic effect of coordination and hydrogen bond.

Project description:The influence of the linking group between the phosphoryl and bridging moieties in phosphoryl-containing task-specific ionic liquids (TSILs) on the extraction of uranyl ions was experimentally and theoretically investigated. A novel phosphoramidate-based TSIL with an amine group as the linking moiety resulted in a higher uranyl ion extraction efficiency compared with that of other phosphoryl-based TSILs. A distribution ratio of 4999 ± 51 can be achieved for uranyl ions. The uranyl ions (76.7 ± 1.5%) were stripped from the loaded ionic liquid phase in a single stage using 0.05 M diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid in a 1.0 M guanidine carbonate solution. The extraction stoichiometry of the uranyl ions was determined by a slope analysis of the extraction data. Furthermore, the fundamental nature of the interaction between the phosphoramidate-based TSIL and uranyl ions was theoretically studied for the first time. The theoretical calculations demonstrated that the synergistic effect of the complexation interaction and H-bond formation between the phosphoramidate-functional ionic liquid and uranyl nitrate led to the higher extraction efficiency. These results provide a basis for rational design, synthesis and potential applications of novel TSILs for uranyl extraction.

Versatile Coordination of AgI and CuI Ions towards cyclo-As5 Ligands.

Project description:The reactions of the cyclo-As5 complex [Cp*Fe(η5 -As5 )] (B) with the AgI and CuI salts of the weakly coordinating anion (WCA) [FAl{OC6 F10 (C6 F5 )}3 ]- ([FAl]- ) are studied. These reactions allow the synthesis of the mononuclear complexes [M(η5 : η2 -B)2 ][FAl] (M=Ag (1), Cu (2)) when a ratio of B/M(FAl) 2 : 1 is used. Compound 1 shows an unusual disorder of the central AgI cation between two π-coordinating cyclo-As5 ligands, which is absent in 2 pointing to a weak interaction of the Ag center towards the cyclo-As5 ligands in B. When the ratio of B/Ag(FAl) is changed to 3 : 1 or 1 : 1, the respective coordination compounds [Ag(η2 -B)3 ][FAl] (3) and [Ag2 (η2 : η2 -B)2 ][FAl]2 (4) are accessible. The coordination modes of the cyclo-As5 units in 1, 3 and 4 are all different, reflecting the adaptive coordination behavior of B towards AgI ions. The optimized geometries in the gas phase of 1-4 are determined by DFT calculations to support the bonding situation observed in their solid-state structures.

Fast selective homogeneous extraction of UO22+ with carboxyl-functionalised task-specific ionic liquids.

Project description:The carboxyl-functionalised task-specific ionic liquid of 1-carboxymethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethyl-sulfonyl)imide ([HOOCmim][NTf2]) was used as solvent and extractant for UO22+ extraction from aqueous solution. A homogeneous phase of [HOOCmim][NTf2]-H2O system could be achieved at 75 °C, and 86.8 ± 4.8% of UO22+ was separated from the aqueous solution after vibrating for only 1 min. Furthermore, nearly 97.3 ± 2.9% of UO22+ was stripped from [HOOCmim][NTf2] phase by 1 M HNO3 solution. K+, Na+, Mg2+, Dy3+, La3+, and Eu3+ have little influence on the homogeneous extraction of UO22+, and the extraction efficiency of UO22+ still remained at ca. 80%. Experimental and theoretical study on the selectivity of [HOOCmim][NTf2]-H2O system were performed for the first time. Density functional theory calculation indicates that the solvent effect plays a significant role on the selectivity of [HOOCmim][NTf2]-H2O.

CO2/CH4 Separation in Amino Acid Ionic Liquids, Polymerized Ionic Liquids, and Mixed Matrix Membranes.

Project description:The ability to efficiently separate CO2 from other light gases using membrane technology has received a great deal of attention due to its importance in applications such as improving the efficiency of natural gas and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. A wide range of materials has been employed for the fabrication of membranes. This paper highlights the work carried out to develop novel advanced membranes with improved separation performance. We integrated a polymerizable and amino acid ionic liquid (AAIL) with zeolite to fabricate mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). The MMMs were prepared with (vinylbenzyl)trimethylammonium chloride [VBTMA][Cl] and (vinylbenzyl)trimethylammonium glycine [VBTMA][Gly] as the polymeric support with 5 wt% zeolite particles, and varying concentrations of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium glycine, [BMIM][Gly] (5-20 wt%) blended together. The membranes were fabricated through photopolymerization. The extent of polymerization was confirmed using FTIR. FESEM confirmed the membranes formed are dense in structure. The thermal properties of the membranes were measured using TGA and DSC. CO2 and CH4 permeation was studied at room temperature and with a feed side pressure of 2 bar. [VBTMA][Gly]-based membranes recorded higher CO2 permeability and CO2/CH4 selectivity compared to [VBTMA][Cl]-based membranes due to the facilitated transport of CO2. The best performing membrane Gly-Gly-20 recorded permeance of 4.17 GPU and ideal selectivity of 5.49.

The CO2 Absorption in Flue Gas Using Mixed Ionic Liquids.

Project description:Because of the appealing properties, ionic liquids (ILs) are believed to be promising alternatives for the CO2 absorption in the flue gas. Several ILs, such as [NH2emim][BF4], [C4mim][OAc], and [NH2emim[OAc], have been used to capture CO2 of the simulated flue gas in this work. The structural changes of the ILs before and after absorption were also investigated by quantum chemical methods, FTIR, and NMR technologies. However, the experimental results and theoretical calculation showed that the flue gas component SO2 would significantly weaken the CO2 absorption performance of the ILs. SO2 was more likely to react with the active sites of the ILs than CO2. To improve the absorption capacity, the ionic liquid (IL) mixture [C4mim][OAc]/ [NH2emim][BF4] were employed for the CO2 absorption of the flue gas. It is found that the CO2 absorption capacity would be increased by about 25%, even in the presence of SO2. The calculation results suggested that CO2 could not compete with SO2 for reacting with the IL during the absorption process. Nevertheless, SO2 might be first captured by the [NH2emim][BF4] of the IL mixture, and then the [C4mim][OAc] ionic liquid could absorb more CO2 without the interference of SO2.
