[AAE]X composed of amino acid ester cations is a sort of typically “bio-based” protic ionic liquids (PILs). They possess potential Brønsted acidity due to the active hydrogens on their cations. The Brønsted acidity of [AAE]X PILs in green solvents (water and ethanol) at room temperature was systematically studied. Various frameworks of amino acid ester cations and four anions were investigated in this work from the viewpoint of structure–property relationship. Four different ways were used to study the acidity. Acid dissociation constants (pKa) of [AAE]X determined by the OIM (overlapping indicator method) were from 7.10 to 7.73 in water and from 8.54 to 9.05 in ethanol. The pKa values determined by the PTM (potential titration method) were from 7.12 to 7.82 in water. Their Hammett acidity function (H0) values (0.05 mol·L−1) were about 4.6 in water. In addition, the pKa values obtained by the DFT (proton-transfer reactions) were from 7.11 to 7.83 in water and from 8.54 to 9.34 in ethanol, respectively. The data revealed that the cationic structures of [AAE]X had little effect and the anions had no effect on the acidity of [AAE]X. At the same time, the OIM, PTM, Hammett method and DFT method were reliable for determining the acidic strength of [AAE]X in this study.

Modern ab initio valence bond theory calculations of representative primary and tertiary ammonium protic ionic liquids indicate that modern ab initio valence bond theory can be employed to assess the acidity and ionicity of protic ionic liquids a priori.

The thermal phase transitions and physicochemical properties of a series of 21 amino acid-derived protic ionic liquids and four protic molten salts have been investigated. Structure–property comparisons for this series were investigated for alkyl- and cyclic amino acid cations, and ethoxy and methoxy groups on the cation, combined with nitrate or various carboxylate-containing anions. All the protic fused salts were found to be ‘fragile’. Most of the protic fused salts exhibited a glass transition, with the transition temperatures ranging from –90° to –42°C. Viscosities and conductivities ranged from 0.03 to 15.46 Pa s and 0.02 to 2.20 mS cm–1 at 25°C respectively. The protic ionic liquids alanine methyl ester glycolate, proline methyl ester nitrate, and proline methyl ester glycolate were found to be capable of supporting amphiphile self-assembly. Lamellar or hexagonal liquid crystalline phases were observed with the cationic surfactant hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide and the non-ionic surfactant Myverol 18–99K.
