Herein we report the dissolution mechanism of lignin in cholinium-based ionic liquids by molecular dynamics simulations. Multiple hydrogen bonds, longer HB lifetimes, and higher pKa of [Ch][Lys] makes it a better solvent for lignin than acidic ILs.

A new series of ionic liquids based on 1,3-alkylmethyl-1,2,3-benzotriazolium cation has been prepared. The spectroscopic, physical and electrochemical characteristics of this family of salts have been investigated with respect to potential usage as ionic solvents, electrolytes and engineering fluids. Incorporation of diverse anions including weak coordinating anion and pseudohalide with this benzotriazolium cation produces ionic liquids with advantageously low melting points and good thermal stability. Thermal analyses of these very stable salts included the determination of melting points (-65 to 164 oC) and decomposition temperatures (up to 291 oC). The electrochemical windows of representative benzotriazolium species has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry and determined to be ~ 3 V. The X-ray single crystal and spectroscopic studies revealed that weak hydrogen-bonding interactions between the benzotriazolium ring protons and the anions are present both in the solid state as well as in solution.   Keywords: ionic liquids, X-ray single crystal, thermal analysis, electrochemical analysis, benzotriazolium salt

Solubilities of cellulose in several ionic liquids were investigated by using Thermal Platform Polarizing Microscope (TPPM) and mechanical stirring. The results showed that all the ionic liquids used could dissolve cellulose except 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([EMIM]Br). The dissolution process of cellulose experienced five steps including infiltration, limited swelled, partially dissolved, dissociation and completely dissolved. Ionic liquids with the cellulose-dissolving temperatures from low to high in sequence was 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([EMIM]Ac) < 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([BMIM]Ac) < 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([AMIM]Cl) < 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([EMIM]Cl) < 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([BMIM]Cl) < 1-benzyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([BZMIM]Cl), while the solubility reduced in turn and the melting points or viscosities of the ionic liquids increased in the same order. Addition of some N,N-dimethyl sulfoxide to the solvents promoted ionic liquids to dissolve cellulose quickly. When dissolution process was applied by mechanical stirring, cellulose partially swelled and looked like "Lamb skewers" before dissolved. The dissolution mechanism was discussed.

Alkalinity determination is of crucial significance for the applications of basic ionic liquids with imidazolyl. In this work, the ionization constant pKb value and acid function H- values of ionic liquids synthesized were calculated by pH method and UV spectrum-Hammett method. The dissolution ratio of biomass in these ionic liquids was measured at different temperatures. Finally, the relationship between the alkalinity and structure of these ionic liquids was discussed, and the relationship between the alkalinity of ionic liquid and the dissolution mechanism biomass was also discussed. The results show that the basicity of carboxylate ionic liquids is determined mainly by their anions, whereas cations take some finely tuned roles. Furthermore, cations and anions are equally important and are involved in dissolution mechanisms.
