Coexistence of Tellurium Cations and Anions in Phosphonium-Based Ionic Liquids.

ABSTRACT: Elemental tellurium readily dissolves in ionic liquids (ILs) based on tetraalkylphosphonium cations even at temperatures below 100 °C. In the case of ILs with acetate, decanoate, or dicyanamide anions, dark red to purple colored solutions form. A study combining NMR, UV-Vis and Raman spectroscopy revealed the formation of tellurium anions (Te_n )^2- with chain lengths up to at least n=5, which are in dynamic equilibrium with each other. Since external influences could be excluded and no evidence of an ionic liquid reaction was found, disproportionation of the tellurium is the only possible dissolution mechanism. Although the spectroscopic detection of tellurium cations in these solutions is difficult, the coexistence of tellurium cations, such as (Te₄ )²⁺ and (Te₆ )⁴⁺ , and tellurium anions could be proven by cyclic voltammetry and electrodeposition experiments. DFT calculations indicate that electrostatic interactions with the ions of the ILs are sufficient to stabilize both types of tellurium ions in solution.

Cyclic phosphonium ionic liquids.

Project description:Ionic liquids (ILs) incorporating cyclic phosphonium cations are a novel category of materials. We report here on the synthesis and characterization of four new cyclic phosphonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide ILs with aliphatic and aromatic pendant groups. In addition to the syntheses of these novel materials, we report on a comparison of their properties with their ammonium congeners. These exemplars are slightly less conductive and have slightly smaller self-diffusion coefficients than their cyclic ammonium congeners.

Alkylimidazolium-based ionic liquids with tailored anions and cations for CO<sub>2</sub> capture.

Project description:A systematic investigation was conducted in the present study to determine how various cations and anions affected the solubility of CO2. To investigate the influence of different cations and anions on the solubility of CO2, twelve ILs were synthesized, characterized, and utilized. These ILs comprised five distinct anions (dioctylsulfosuccinate [DOSS], triflouromethanesulfonate [TFMS], dodecylsulfate [DDS], 3-sulfobezoate [SBA], and benzene sulfonate [BS]), and four distinct cations (1-butyl-3-propanenitrile imidazolium [C2CN Bim], 1-hexyl-3-propanenitrile imidazolium [C2CN Him], 1-octyl-3-propanenitrile imidazolium [C2CN Oim], and 1-decyl-3-propanenitrile imidazolium [C2CN Dim]). The synthesized ILs were characterized using NMR and elemental analysis. Their moisture and halide contents were determined. The gravimetric method (MSB) was employed to determine the solubility of CO2 at various pressures (20, 15, 10, 5, and 1 bar). In addition, the effects of temperature on the solubility of CO2 were investigated. The constant of Henry's law (kH) was also calculated, along with thermodynamic properties including standard enthalpy (H0), entropy (S0), and Gibbs free energy (G0).

Basic Phosphonium Ionic Liquids as Wittig Reagents.

Project description:The possibility of designing a solvent/reagent for Wittig reactions from basic phosphonium salts is explored theoretically. In the suggested R4P+PhO- and Ph3PR+PhO- ionic liquids (ILs), the phenolate anion is prone to remove the α-proton from the alkyl chains, forming a phosphorous ylide. Significant hydrogen bonding between the oxygen atoms of the anions and α-hydrogen atoms of the cations were found by molecular dynamics simulations of these substances; therefore, proton transfer between the two ions is inherently supported by the structure of the liquid as well. The subsequent steps of the Wittig reaction from the phosphorous ylide were also found to be energetically possible. The mesoscopic structure of these materials exhibits a significant segregation into polar and nonpolar domains, which may also allow an easy dissolution of the substrates. The formation of a pentacoordinated phosphorous derivative through P-O bond formation was found to be also possible in the gas phase for both kind of compounds. Accordingly, having such basic anions in phosphonium-based ILs may produce such a neutral and therefore volatile species, which may hold further significant applications for these solvents in ion-exchange and separation techniques and in synthesis.

Silica-grafted ionic liquids for revealing the respective charging behaviors of cations and anions in supercapacitors.

Project description:Supercapacitors based on activated carbon electrodes and ionic liquids as electrolytes are capable of storing charge through the electrosorption of ions on porous carbons and represent important energy storage devices with high power delivery/uptake. Various computational and instrumental methods have been developed to understand the ion storage behavior, however, techniques that can probe various cations and anions of ionic liquids separately remain lacking. Here, we report an approach to monitoring cations and anions independently by using silica nanoparticle-grafted ionic liquids, in which ions attaching to silica nanoparticle cannot access activated carbon pores upon charging, whereas free counter-ions can. Aided by this strategy, conventional electrochemical characterizations allow the direct measurement of the respective capacitance contributions and acting potential windows of different ions. Moreover, coupled with electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance, this method can provide unprecedented insight into the underlying electrochemistry.

Amide-functionalised phosphonium-based ionic liquids as ligands for rhodium(iii) extraction.

Project description:Seven new amide-functionalised phosphonium-based ionic liquids (APILs) with chloride anions are synthesised and applied to extraction of rhodium(iii) from HCl solution. The effects of structural modification of the APILs on the extraction performance are examined by liquid-liquid extraction using toluene as a diluent and the results compared with those for trihexyltetradecylphosphonium chloride ([P66614][Cl]), a typical commercial extractant. The performance of the APILs as rhodium(iii) extractants is influenced by three main factors: (1) the length of the alkyl chains attached to the P atom; (2) the length of the linker between the amide and phosphonium moiety; and (3) the type of amide group. A novel ligand, [3°C2P444][Cl], had outstanding performance in the effective recovery of rhodium(iii). Extraction of rhodium(iii) from a 1.0 mol dm-3 HCl solution with 0.5 mol dm-3 [3°C2P444][Cl] proceeded quantitatively (>98%) and the extraction efficiency was higher than that of the commercial extractant [P66614][Cl]. The mechanism of rhodium(iii) extraction by [3°C2P444][Cl] was investigated by slope analysis, UV-vis, and FT-IR spectroscopy. These results indicate that [RhCl4(H2O)2]- in aqueous solution is extracted by [3°C2P444][Cl] through an anion-exchange mechanism and slowly converted into a dimer, [Rh2Cl9]3-, in the organic phase.

Transcriptional toxicity of imidazolium- and cholinium-based ionic liquids

Project description:Ionic Liquids are a broad group of salts with low melting points that can be specifically tuned for a broad range of applications. Despite being initially considered “green” solvents, their better environmental friendliness compared to traditional solvents has been increasingly challenged. In this study, we aimed to investigate the molecular effects of ILs exposure by using RNA-sequencing to study differential gene expression patterns. Thus, we exposed Daphnia magna to 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([C2mim]Cl), 1-dodecyl chloride-3-methylimidazolium ([C12mim]Cl) and cholinium chloride ([Chol]Cl). Results suggest that the three ILs share several mechanisms of toxicity, including cellular membrane and cytoskeleton damage, oxidative stress, inhibition of antioxidant enzymes, mitochondrial affectation, changes in protein biosynthesis and energy production, DNA damage, and ultimately, programmed cell death and disease initiation. Overall, the dataset revealed that [C2mim]Cl and [C12mim]Cl were, respectively, the least and the most toxic ILs at the transcriptional level. Also, it is reinforced that [Chol]Cl is not devoid of environmental hazardous potential. Unique gene expression signatures could also be identified for each IL.

Comparison of the Extraction Efficiency of Isoflavone Compounds from <i>Puerariae lobatae</i> by Ionic Liquids with 11 Anions and 8 Imidazolium-Based Cations.

Project description:Although the field of natural product extraction with ionic liquids (ILs) is already a crowded one, the guiding rules regarding the selection of suitable ILs for extraction are still lacking. In this study, the extraction capacity of 32 ILs was investigated using Puerariae lobatae as a testing material, namely, 11 [BMIM]-based, 9 [CMIM]-based, 8 [C n MIM][Br] and 8 [C n MIM][BF4] ILs (n = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16) were studied. Three series of concentrations (0.02, 0.50, 2.00 M) were investigated, and the results demonstrated that the extraction capacity increased with the rising IL concentrations except for 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium tosylate ([BMIM][Tos]). Generally, all the 0.50 and 2.00 M ILs led to the best extraction results. At low concentrations, the IL extraction capacity is strongly dependent on the anions and cations. However, the relationship between extraction capacity and anions or cations gradually becomes weak as increasing IL concentrations. Finally, the solution of ILs was prepared in aqueous or 60% methanol depending on the solubility. The pH can vary from strong acid to weak alkaline. Extraction capacity of 32 ILs varying in concentrations has a good negative correlation with the pH, except for five [BMIM]-ILs.

Physicochemical and structural properties of lidocaine-based ionic liquids with anti-inflammatory anions.

Project description:The purpose of this paper was to examine the density, viscosity and electrical conductivity at different temperatures, as well as the thermal stability and structural properties of previously reported ionic liquids based on active pharmaceutical ingredients. Lidocaine-based ionic liquids, with ibuprofen and salicylate as counterion, were prepared first. Their structures were confirmed by infrared, mass and 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The Newtonian behaviour of lidocaine ibuprofenate was confirmed from viscosity measurement results, while it was impossible to determine for lidocaine salicylate. The interactions and structures of the studied ionic liquids were analyzed based on the measured density values, viscosity, electrical conductivity, and calculated values of thermal expansion coefficients and activation energy of viscous flow. From a theoretical aspect, DFT and MD calculations were performed. The obtained descriptors and radial distribution, as well as structural functions, were used to understand the structural organization of the synthesized ionic liquids.

Dissolving Cellulose in 1,2,3-Triazolium- and Imidazolium-Based Ionic Liquids with Aromatic Anions.

Project description:We present 1,2,3-triazolium- and imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) with aromatic anions as a new class of cellulose solvents. The two anions in our study, benzoate and salicylate, possess a lower basicity when compared to acetate and therefore should lead to a lower amount of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) in the ILs. We characterize their physicochemical properties and find that all of them are liquids at room temperature. By applying force field molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we investigate the structure and dynamics of the liquids and find strong and long-lived hydrogen bonds, as well as significant π-π stacking between the aromatic anion and cation. Our ILs dissolve up to 8.5 wt.-% cellulose. Via NMR spectroscopy of the solution, we rule out chain degradation or derivatization, even after several weeks at elevated temperature. Based on our MD simulations, we estimate the enthalpy of solvation and derive a simple model for semi-quantitative prediction of cellulose solubility in ILs. With the help of Sankey diagrams, we illustrate the hydrogen bond network topology of the solutions, which is characterized by competing hydrogen bond donors and acceptors. The hydrogen bonds between cellulose and the anions possess average lifetimes in the nanosecond range, which is longer than found in common pure ILs.

Modulation of Insulin Amyloid Fibrillization in Imidazolium-Based Ionic Liquids with Hofmeister Series Anions.

Project description:Amyloid fibrils have immense potential to become the basis of modern biomaterials. The formation of amyloid fibrils in vitro strongly depends on the solvent properties. Ionic liquids (ILs), alternative solvents with tunable properties, have been shown to modulate amyloid fibrillization. In this work, we studied the impact of five ILs with 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium cation [EMIM+] and anions of Hofmeisterseries hydrogen sulfate [HSO4-], acetate [AC-], chloride [Cl-], nitrate [NO3-], and tetrafluoroborate [BF4-] on the kinetics of insulin fibrillization and morphology, and the structure of insulin fibrils when applying fluorescence spectroscopy, AFM and ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. We found that the studied ILs were able to speed up the fibrillization process in an anion- and IL-concentration-dependent manner. At an IL concentration of 100 mM, the efficiency of the anions at promoting insulin amyloid fibrillization followed the reverse Hofmeister series, indicating the direct binding of ions with the protein surface. At a concentration of 25 mM, fibrils with different morphologies were formed, yet with similar secondary structure content. Moreover, no correlation with the Hofmeister ranking was detected for kinetics parameters. IL with the kosmotropic strongly hydrated [HSO4-] anion induced the formation of large amyloid fibril clusters, while the other kosmotropic anion [AC-] along with [Cl-] led to the formation of fibrils with similar needle-like morphologies to those formed in the IL-free solvent. The presence of the ILs with the chaotropic anions [NO3-] and [BF4-] resulted in longer laterally associated fibrils. The effect of the selected ILs was driven by a sensitive balance and interplay between specific protein-ion and ion-water interactions and non-specific long-range electrostatic shielding.
