A systematic density functional theory (DFT) analysis has been carried out to obtain information at the molecular level on those factors related to efficient SO2 capture by ionic liquids. A set of 55 ionic liquids, for which high gas solubility is expected, has been selected.

The thermal stability and decomposition kinetics analysis of 1-alkyl-2,3-dimethylimidazole nitrate ionic liquids with different alkyl chains (ethyl, butyl, hexyl, octyl and decyl) were investigated by using isothermal and nonisothermal thermogravimetric analysis combined with thermoanalytical kinetics calculations (Kissinger, Friedman and Flynn-Wall-Ozawa) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Isothermal experiments were performed in a nitrogen atmosphere at 240, 250, 260 and 270 °C. In addition, the nonisothermal experiments were carried out in nitrogen and air atmospheres from 30 to 600 °C with heating rates of 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 °C/min. The results of two heating modes, three activation energy calculations and density functional theory calculations consistently showed that the thermal stability of 1-alkyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium nitrate ionic liquids decreases with the increasing length of the alkyl chain of the substituent on the cation, and then the thermal hazard increases. This study could provide some guidance for the safety design and use of imidazolium nitrate ionic liquids for engineering.

The structural and electronic properties of 1-(5-Hydroxymethyl - 4 –[ 5 – (5-oxo-5-piperidin- 1 -yl-penta- 1,3 -dienyl)-benzo [1,3] dioxol- 2 -yl]- tetrahydro -furan-2 -yl)-5-methy l-1Hpyrimidine-2,4dione (AHE) molecule have been investigated theoretically by performing density functional theory (DFT), and semi empirical molecular orbital calculations. The geometry of the molecule is optimized at the level of Austin Model 1 (AM1), and the electronic properties and relative energies of the molecules have been calculated by density functional theory in the ground state. The resultant dipole moment of the AHE molecule is about 2.6 and 2.3 Debyes by AM1 and DFT methods respectively, This property of AHE makes it an active molecule with its environment, that is AHE molecule may interacts with its environment strongly in solution.

Deprotonation of hexaethyl-2,4-dicarba-nido-borane(8) 2 leads first to the hexaethyl-2,4-dicarbanido- borate(1−) 3, and further deprotonation, using BuLi/KOtBu, gives the hexaethyl-2,4-dicarbanido- hexaborate(2−) 4. The reaction of 3 with FeCl2 affords the commo-ferracarborane [Fe(Et6-2,4- C2B4H)2] 5, and the analogous reaction of 4 leads to the anionic sandwich complex [Fe(Et6-2,4- C2B4)2]2− 6 which can be protonated to give 5. The complex 5 contains two hydrido ligands, each bridging the iron and two boron atoms. Reactions were monitored and the products were characterised by 11B NMR spectroscopy in solution. The geometries of the carboranes, the borates (all unsubstituted and permethyl-substituted) and the iron complexes (all unsubstituted) were optimised by DFT methods [B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) or B3LYP/6-31+G(d)], and the relevant NMR data [chemical shifts δ11B, δ13C, δ57Fe, and coupling constants 1J(13C,1H), 1J(11B,1H), 1J(57Fe,1H), 1J(57Fe,11B)] were calculated at the same level of theory.
