Effect of the Dodecanoate Anion on Thermal Stability and Decomposition Mechanism of Mono- and Dicationic Ionic Liquids.

ABSTRACT: This work presents the synthesis of mono- and dicationic ionic liquids (ILs) that combine the cations 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium ([C₄MIM]⁺), 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium ([C₁₀MIM]⁺), 1,4-bis(3-methylimidazolium-1-yl)butane ([C₄(MIM)₂]²⁺), and 1,10-bis(3-methylimidazolium-1-yl)decane ([C₁₀(MIM)₂]²⁺) with the anion dodecanoate ([C₁₁COO]^-), along with a study into their thermal stability and mechanism for thermal decomposition. Thermal stability was investigated using the Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS) isoconversional method to determine the isoconversional activation energies (E _α ) and compensation effect to calculate the pre-exponential facto
