Rotational Diffusion of Nonpolar and Ionic Solutes in 1-Alkyl-3-Methylimidazolium Bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imides: Is Solute Rotation Always Influenced by the Length of the Alkyl Chain on the Imidazolium Cation?

The systematic investigation of the aggregation behaviours of newly synthesised surface-active ionic liquids 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate ([Cnmim][AOT], n = 2, 3, 5, 6, 7) by various techniques is reported. The critical aggregation concentrations (CACs) and the standard Gibbs free energies of aggregation () were determined from measurements on conductivity, fluorescence, and surface tension, which suggested a stronger self-assembly ability in the bulk solution for [Cnmim][AOT] surfactants with longer alkyl chain cations. An interesting structure transition driven by the penetration of the imidazolium cation into the aggregate when n > 4 was found by analysis of the variations of the values of CAC, , the degree of counter ion binding (β), and the micropolarity (I1/I3) immediately after the CAC with changing alkyl chain length of the imidazolium cation, which was further confirmed by 1H NMR measurements.

Four cellulose solvents including [C2mim][CH3COO] + DMSO, [C4mim][CH3COO] + DMSO, [C6mim][CH3COO] + DMSO, and [C8mim][CH3COO] + DMSO were prepared by adding dimethyl sulfoxide DMSO in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate [C2mim][CH3COO], 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate [C4mim][CH3COO], 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate [C6mim][CH3COO], and 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate [C8mim][CH3COO], respectively. The solubilities of cellulose in these solvents were determined at 25°C. The effect of the alkyl chain length in imidazolium cation on cellulose solubility was investigated. With increasing alkyl chain length in imidazolium cation, the solubility of cellulose increases, but further increase in alkyl chain length results in decreases in cellulose.

The effect of imidazolium-based ionic liquid on the electroreduction of CO2 to CO over a Ag electrode in acetonitrile catholyte was investigated. The voltage–current profiles clearly indicate that the electroreduction of CO2 is sensitive to the alkyl chain length at the N1-position in imidazolium cation (MIM+). Density functional theory computation suggests that the onset potential of CO2 reduction is related to the association degree between MIM+ and CO2•– species. More importantly, preparative scale electrolysis shows that the selectivity and output rate for the target product CO are also significantly affected by MIM+. With the elongation of the alkyl group in MIM+ from ethyl to octyl, the Faradaic efficiency for CO remarkably increases from 87 ± 4 % to 97 ± 2 % and then remains almost unchanged. However, the curve of the current density with respect to the chain length of alkyl group shows a convex style. These results indicate the dependence of CO2 reduction efficiency on the MIM+ adsorbed on the Ag electrode surface.
