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 factoACS omega9514-9526https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC11904690biostudies-literatureEffect of the Dodecanoate Anion on Thermal Stability and Decomposition Mechanism of Mono- and Dicationic Ionic Liquids.PMC11904690Villetti MABender CRVieira JCBFrizzo CPfalseEffect of the Dodecanoate Anion on Thermal Stability and Decomposition Mechanism of Mono- and Dicationic Ionic Liquids.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.
