Implications of Anion Structure on Physicochemical Properties of DBU-Based Protic Ionic Liquids.

ABSTRACT: Protic ionic liquids (PILs) are potential candidates as electrolyte components in energy storage devices. When replacing flammable and volatile organic solvents, PILs are expected to improve the safety and performance of electrochemical devices. Considering their technical application, a challenging task is the understanding of the key factors governing their intermolecular interactions and physicochemical properties. The present work intends to investigate the effects of the structural features on the properties of a promising PIL based on the 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBUH⁺) cation and the (trifluoromethanesulfonyl)(nonafluorobutanesulfonyl)imide (IM14^-) anion, the latter being a remarkably large anion with an uneven distribution of the C-F pool between th
