Insights into structure-property relationships in ionic liquids using cyclic perfluoroalkylsulfonylimides.

ABSTRACT: Room temperature ionic liquids of cyclic sulfonimide anions ncPFSI (ring size: n = 4-6) with the cations [EMIm]⁺ (1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium), [BMIm]⁺ (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium) and [BMPL]⁺ (BMPL = 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium) have been synthesized. Their solid-state structures have been elucidated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and their physicochemical properties (thermal behaviour and stability, dynamic viscosity and specific conductivity) have been assessed. In addition, the ion diffusion was studied by pulsed field gradient stimulated echo (PFGSTE) NMR spectroscopy. The decisive influence of the ring size of the cyclic sulfonimide anions on the physicochemical properties of the ILs has been revealed. All ILs show different properties compared to those of the non-cyclic TFSI anion. While these differences are especially distinct for ILs with the very rigid 6cPFSI anion, the 5-membered ring anion 5cPFSI was found to result in ILs with relatively similar properties. The difference between the properties of the TFSI anion and the cyclic sulfonimide anions has been rationalized by the rigidity (conformational lock) of the cyclic sulfonimide anions. The comparison of selected IL properties was augmented by MD simulations. These highlight the importance of π⁺-π⁺ interactions between pairs of [EMIm]⁺ cations in the liquid phase. The π⁺-π⁺ interactions are evident for the solid state from the molecular structures of the [EMIm]⁺-ILs with the three cyclic imide anions determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

Project description:The demand for new ionic liquid (IL)-based systems to selectively sequester carbon dioxide from gas mixtures has prompted the development of individual components involving the tailored design of IL themselves or solid-supported materials that provide excellent gas permeability of the overall material as well as the ability to incorporate large amounts of ionic liquid. In this work, novel IL-encapsulated microparticles comprising a cross-linked copolymer shell of β-myrcene and styrene and a hydrophilic core of the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide ([EMIM][DCA]) are proposed as viable materials for CO2 capture. Water-in-oil (w/o) emulsion polymerization of different mass ratios of β-myrcene to styrene (i.e. 100/0, 70/30, 50/50, 0/100) yielded IL-encapsulated microparticles, where the encapsulation efficiency of [EMIM][DCA] was dependent on the copolymer shell composition. Thermal analysis using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) revealed that both thermal stability and glass transition temperatures depend on the mass ratio of β-myrcene to styrene. Images from scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to observe the microparticle shell morphology as well as measure the particle size perimeter. Particle sizes were found to be between 5 and 44 μm. CO2 sorption experiments were conducted gravimetrically using TGA instrumentation. Interestingly, a trade-off between CO2 absorption capacity and ionic liquid encapsulation was observed. While increasing the β-myrcene content within the microparticle shell increases the amount of encapsulated [EMIM][DCA], the observed CO2 absorption capacity did not increase as expected due to reduced porosity compared to microparticles with higher styrene content in the microparticle shell. [EMIM][DCA] microcapsules with a 50/50 weight ratio of β-myrcene/styrene showed the best synergistic effect between spherical particle diameter (32.2 μm), pore size (0.75 μm), and high CO2 sorption capacity of ∼0.5 mmol CO2/g sample within a short absorption period of 20 min. Therefore, core-shell microcapsules composed of β-myrcene and styrene are envisioned as a promising material for CO2 sequestration applications.

Project description:Ionic liquids (ILs) are known for their unique characteristics as solvents and electrolytes. Therefore, new ILs are being developed and adapted as innovative chemical environments for different applications in which their properties need to be understood on a molecular level. Computational data-driven methods provide means for understanding of properties at molecular level, and quantitative structure-property relationships (QSPRs) provide the framework for this. This framework is commonly used to study the properties of molecules in ILs as an environment. The opposite situation where the property is considered as a function of the ionic liquid does not exist. The aim of the present study was to supplement this perspective with new knowledge and to develop QSPRs that would allow the understanding of molecular interactions in ionic liquids based on the structure of the cationic moiety. A wide range of applications in electrochemistry, separation and extraction chemistry depends on the partitioning of solutes between the ionic liquid and the surrounding environment that is characterized by the gas-ionic liquid partition coefficient. To model this property as a function of the structure of a cationic counterpart, a series of ionic liquids was selected with a common bis-(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)-imide anion, [Tf2N]-, for benzene, hexane and cyclohexane. MLR, SVR and GPR machine learning approaches were used to derive data-driven models and their performance was compared. The cross-validation coefficients of determination in the range 0.71-0.93 along with other performance statistics indicated a strong accuracy of models for all data series and machine learning methods. The analysis and interpretation of descriptors revealed that generally higher lipophilicity and dispersion interaction capability, and lower polarity in the cations induces a higher partition coefficient for benzene, hexane, cyclohexane and hydrocarbons in general. The applicability domain analysis of models concluded that there were no highly influential outliers and the models are applicable to a wide selection of cation families with variable size, polarity and aliphatic or aromatic nature.
