Ultra-Low Viscosity and High Magnetic Susceptibility Magnetic Ionic Liquids Featuring Functionalized Diglycolic Acid Ester Rare-Earth and Transition Metal Chelates.

ABSTRACT: Magnetic ionic liquids (MILs) comprise a subcategory of ionic liquids (ILs) and contain a paramagnetic metal center allowing them to be readily manipulated by an external magnetic field. While MILs are popularly employed as solvents in catalysis, separations, and organic synthesis, most low viscosity combinations possess a hydrophilic character that limits their use in aqueous matrices. To date, no study has reported the synthesis and characterization of hydrophobic MILs with viscosities similar to those of hydrophilic MILs and organic solvents while simultaneously exhibiting enhanced magnetic and thermal properties. In this study, diglycolic acid esters are employed as ligands to chelate with paramagnetic metals to produce cations that are paired with metal chelates composed of hexafluoro
