Dissolution of Silk Fibroin in Mixtures of Ionic Liquids and Dimethyl Sulfoxide: On the Relative Importance of Temperature and Binary Solvent Composition.

ABSTRACT: We studied the dependence of dissolution of silk fibroin (SF) in mixtures of DMSO with ionic liquids (ILs) on the temperature (T = 40 to 80 °C) and DMSO mole fraction (χ_DMSO = 0.5 to 0.9). The ILs included BuMeImAcO, C₃OMeImAcO, AlBzMe₂NAcO, and Bu₄NAcO; see the names and structures below. We used design of experiments (DOE) to determine the dependence of mass fraction of dissolved SF (SF-m%) on T and χ_DMSO. We successfully employed a second-order polynomial to fit the biopolymer dissolution data. The resulting regression coefficients showed that the dissolution of SF in BuMeImAcO-DMSO and C₃OMeImAcO-DMSO is more sensitive to variation of T than of χ_DMSO; the inverse is observed for the quaternary ammonium ILs. Using BuMeImAcO, AlBzMe₂NAcO, and molecular dynamics simulations, we attribute the difference in IL efficiency to stronger SF-IL hydrogen bonding with the former IL, which is coupled with the difference in the molecular volumes and the rigidity of the phenyl ring of the latter IL. The order of SF dissolution is BuMeImAcO-DMSO > C₃OMeImAcO-DMSO; this was attributed to the formation of intramolecular H-bonding between the ether oxygen in the side chain of the latter IL and the relatively acidic hydrogens of the imidazolium cation. Using DOE, we were able to predict values of SF-m%; this is satisfactory and important because it results in economy of labor, time, and material.

Solid-liquid equilibria of binary mixtures of fluorinated ionic liquids.

Project description:Within ionic liquids, fluorinated ionic liquids (FILs) present unique physico-chemical properties and potential applications in several fields. However, the melting point of these neoteric compounds is usually higher due to the presence of fluorine atoms. This drawback may be resolved by, for instance, mixing different FILs to create eutectic mixtures. In this work, binary mixtures of fluoro-containing and fluorinated ionic liquids were considered with the aim of decreasing their melting temperatures as well as understanding and characterizing these mixtures and their phase transitions. Five FILs were selected, allowing the investigation of four binary mixtures, each of them with a common ion. Their solid-liquid and solid-solid equilibria were studied by differential scanning calorimetry and the non-ideality of the mixtures was investigated. Overall, a variety of solid-liquid equilibria with systems exhibiting eutectic behavior, polymorphs with solid-solid phase transitions, and the formation of intermediate compounds and solid solutions were surprisingly found. In addition to these intriguing behaviours, novel FILs with lower melting temperatures were obtained by the formation of binary systems, thus enlarging the application range of FILs at lower temperatures.

Synergy between silk fibroin and ionic liquids for active gas-sensing materials.

Project description:Silk fibroin is a biobased material with excellent biocompatibility and mechanical properties, but its use in bioelectronics is hampered by the difficult dissolution and low intrinsic conductivity. Some ionic liquids are known to dissolve fibroin but removed after fibroin processing. However, ionic liquids and fibroin can cooperatively give rise to functional materials, and there are untapped opportunities in this combination. The dissolution of fibroin, followed by gelation, in designer ionic liquids from the imidazolium chloride family with varied alkyl chain lengths (2-10 carbons) is shown here. The alkyl chain length of the anion has a large impact on fibroin secondary structure which adopts unconventional arrangements, yielding robust gels with distinct hierarchical organization. Furthermore, and due to their remarkable air-stability and ionic conductivity, fibroin ionogels are exploited as active electrical gas sensors in an electronic nose revealing the unravelled possibilities of fibroin in soft and flexible electronics.

Hydrogen-Bonding Interactions in Pyridinium-Based Ionic Liquids and Dimethyl Sulfoxide Binary Systems: A Combined Experimental and Computational Study.

Project description:The addition of highly polar and aprotic cosolvents to ionic liquids has proven to considerably decrease the viscosity of the solution and improve mass transfer in many chemical reactions. In this work, the interactions between a representative pyridinium-based ionic liquid, N-butylpyridinium dicyanamide ([Bpy][DCA]), and a cosolvent, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), were studied in detail by the combined use of attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), and density functional theory calculations. Several species in the [Bpy][DCA]-DMSO mixtures have been identified, that is, ion clusters can translate into ion pairs during the dilution process. DMSO formed hydrogen bonds (H bonds) simultaneously with [Bpy]+ cations and [DCA]- anions but stronger hydrogen-bonding interactions with the [Bpy]+ cations than the [DCA]- anions, and the intrinsic hydrogen-bond networks of IL were difficult to interrupt at low DMSO concentrations. Interestingly, hydrogen-bonding interactions reach the strongest when the molar fraction of DMSO is 0.4-0.5. Hydrogen-bonding interactions are prominent in the chemical shifts of hydrogen atoms in [Bpy]+ cations, and anisotropy is the main reason for the upfield shifts of DMSO in the presence of [Bpy][DCA]. The theoretical calculations offer in-depth studies of the structural evolution and NMR calculation.

Thermal Analysis of Binary Mixtures of Imidazolium, Pyridinium, Pyrrolidinium, and Piperidinium Ionic Liquids.

Project description:Ionic liquids (ILs) are being widely studied due to their unique properties, which make them potential candidates for conventional solvents. To study whether binary mixtures of pure ionic liquids provide a viable alternative to pure ionic liquids for different applications, in this work, the thermal analysis and molar heat capacities of five equimolar binary mixtures of ionic liquids based on imidazolium, pyridinium, pyrrolidinium, and piperidinium cations with dicyanamide, trifluoromethanesulfonate, and bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide anions have been performed. Furthermore, two pure ionic liquids based on piperidinium cation have been thermally characterized and the heat capacity of one of them has been measured. The determination and evaluation of both the transition temperatures and the molar heat capacities was carried out using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It was observed that the thermal behavior of the mixtures was completely different than the thermal behavior of the pure ionic liquids present, while the molar heat capacities of the binary mixtures were very similar to the value of the average of molar heat capacities of the two pure ionic liquids.

Physical and chemical properties of binary mixtures of dibutylammonium-based ionic liquids and water

Project description:Ionic liquids are used in different processes owing to their low vapor pressure, large viscosity range, chemical and thermal stability, and superior conductance even without water. These features make them flexible and tunable, indicating their possible use as substitutes for commonly used compounds in many processes. The objective of this study was to evaluate the properties of aqueous binary solutions for three different ionic liquids (ILs): dibutylammonium acetate, dibutylammonium propanoate, and dibutylammonium butanoate. The measured properties were density, speed of sound, and conductivity, and their isentropic compressibility and thermal expansion coefficient were calculated based on these properties. The temperature range used for measurements was 293.15–323.15 K. Mathematical models were used for each ionic liquid + water mixture to fit the density and speed of sound data. The increase in the alkyl chain leads to a tendency to decrease the values of density, speed of sound, and conductivity of the solutions. However, decreasing the dilution in water, the density, the conductivity and the speed of sound initially increase and then decrease, exhibiting a maximum in the initial water concentration range which indicates the formation of aggregates. Critical micellar concentrations at 298 K were determined through conductivity data. Enhancing the temperature leads to a decrease on density and sound velocity.

Temperature-Dependent Surface Enrichment Effects in Binary Mixtures of Fluorinated and Non-Fluorinated Ionic Liquids.

Project description:Using angle-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (ARXPS), we investigate the topmost nanometers of various binary ionic liquid (IL) mixtures at different temperatures in the liquid state. The mixtures consist of ILs with the same [PF6 ]- anion but two different cations, namely 3-methyl-1-(3,3,4,4,4-pentafluorobutyl)imidazolium hexafluorophosphate, [PFBMIm][PF6 ], and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, [C4 C1 Im][PF6 ], with 10, 25, 50 and 75?mol?% content of [PFBMIm][PF6 ]. We observe a preferential enrichment of the fluorinated chain in the topmost layer, relative to the bulk composition, which is most pronounced for the lowest content of [PFBMIm][PF6 ]. Upon cooling the mixtures stepwise from 95?°C until surface charging effects in XPS indicate solidification, we observe a pronounced increase in surface enrichment of the fluorinated chain with decreasing temperature in the liquid state. In contrast to the mixtures with lower [PFBMIm][PF6 ] contents, cooling the 75?mol?% mixture additionally shows an abrupt decrease of the fluorinated chain signal before complete solidification occurs, which is assigned to partial precipitation effects.

Density and Viscosity of Binary Mixtures of Thiocyanate Ionic Liquids + Water as a Function of Temperature.

Project description:Densities and viscosities have been determined for binary mixtures of the ionic liquids (ILs) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium thiocyanate [BMIM][SCN], or 1-butyl-4-methylpyridinium thiocyanate [BMPy][SCN], or 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium thiocyanate [BMPYR][SCN], or 1-butyl-1-methylpiperidinium thiocyanate [BMPIP][SCN] with water over wide range of temperatures (298.15-348.15) K and ambient pressure. The thermal properties of [BMPy][SCN], i.e. glass transition temperature and the heat capacity at glass transition, have been measured using a differential scanning microcalorimetry, DSC. The decomposition of [BMPy][SCN] was detected. The density and viscosity correlations for these systems have been made using an empirical second-order polynomial and by the Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann equation, respectively. The concentration dependences have been described by polynomials. The excess molar volumes and deviations in viscosity have been calculated from the experimental values and were correlated by Redlich-Kister polynomial expansions. The variations of these parameters, with compositions of the mixtures and temperature, have been discussed in terms of molecular interactions. A qualitative analysis of the trend of properties with composition and temperature was performed. Further, the excess partial molar volumes, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], were calculated and discussed. The isobaric expansivities (coefficient of thermal expansion), α, and the excess isobaric expansivities, α(E), were determined for four ILs and their mixtures with water. The results indicate that the interactions of thiocyanate ILs with water is not as strong as with alcohols, which is shown by the positive/slightly negative excess molar volumes in these binary systems.

Dielectric study on mixtures of ionic liquids.

Project description:Ionic liquids are promising candidates for electrolytes in energy-storage systems. We demonstrate that mixing two ionic liquids allows to precisely tune their physical properties, like the dc conductivity. Moreover, these mixtures enable the gradual modification of the fragility parameter, which is believed to be a measure of the complexity of the energy landscape in supercooled liquids. The physical origin of this index is still under debate; therefore, mixing ionic liquids can provide further insights. From the chemical point of view, tuning ionic liquids via mixing is an easy and thus an economic way. For this study, we performed detailed investigations by broadband dielectric spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry on two mixing series of ionic liquids. One series combines an imidazole based with a pyridine based ionic liquid and the other two different anions in an imidazole based ionic liquid. The analysis of the glass-transition temperatures and the thorough evaluations of the measured dielectric permittivity and conductivity spectra reveal that the dynamics in mixtures of ionic liquids are well defined by the fractions of their parent compounds.

Task-Specific Organic Salts and Ionic Liquids Binary Mixtures: A Combination to Obtain 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural From Carbohydrates.

Project description:The increase in energy demand and depletion of fossil fuels are among major issues of modern society. Valorization and transformation of raw materials in products of industrial value represent a challenge. This justifies the growing interest of scientific research toward the identification of suitable media and methodologies able to pursue above goals, paying attention to matter of sustainability. On this subject, we studied sulfonic-acid functionalized diimidazolium salts as catalysts for the conversion of fructose and sucrose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) in an ionic liquid mixture. In general, using these salts allowed us to obtain 5-HMF in good yields from both substrates in mild conditions. Indeed, at 60°C and in the presence of 20 mol% of catalyst, 5-HMF yields of 60 and 30% were obtained from fructose and sucrose, respectively. The catalytic system was recycled and used up to six times observing no appreciable loss in yield for the first four cycles. Moreover, we gathered mechanistic information by in situ 1H NMR monitoring the dehydration of fructose. To dissect the role of acidity on the reaction, we determined the Hammett acidity function of each salt. Comparison of these results with yields and reactivity observed in the presence of related monocationic salts and with a dicationic salt bearing only one sulfonic acid group, allowed stating that the reactivity observed is the result of the combined action of acidity and structural features of the catalysts. Overall, the approach proposed here could contribute to pave the way to increase sustainability in the raw material valorization processes.
