A novel series of tricyanomethanide ionic liquids have been prepared and characterized for potential use as ionic liquid solvents. Full thermal analyses of all salts at ambient and sub-ambient temperatures are reported (melting points –17° to 160°C). The thermal stability and decomposition temperatures are also presented (Tdecomp ≈ 300°C). An electrochemical window of ~3 V has been established and the conductivity measured over a range of temperatures (20 mS cm–1 at 25°C).

Room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) are molten salts with melting points at or below room temperature. RTILs have recently been recognized as novel lubricants. Only a few have previously been evaluated.

Electrochemical sensors can detect the heavy metal ions in seawater quickly, conveniently and accurately with the advantages such as the fast detection speed, the simple operability and the low cost. The ionic liquid [Emim]CH3SO3 showed excellent electrochemical performance and could meet the initial application requirements as electrochemical sensors. The characters of the ionic liquids [Emim]CH3SO3 and [Emim]PF6 which include IR, LC-MS, conductivity, electrochemical window and viscosity were detected. The influ-ence of trace impurity on the conductivity of the ionic liquids was investigated. Results suggested that the conductivity of the ionic liquids increased with the concentration of the added organic solvents. In addition, though the conductivity of the ionic liquids increased with temperature, there is no significant difference in the influence of the same impurity at varying temperatures. Muti Walls Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs) are appropriate materials which are commonly used materials for electrochemical sensor applications. The effect of theImidaz-olium-based ionic liquids on the performance of the conductivity of the MWCNTs was studied. It was found that Ionic liquid is an excellent extraction agent for metal ions and its presence in the sensor system improves significantly the detection of heavy metal ions.

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

A number of dicationic ionic liquids with a disiloxane linker between imidazolium cations and bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide anion were synthesized and characterized. Melting points, viscosity, and volatility in a vacuum were measured; the thermal and hydrolytic stability of ionic liquids were also studied. The dependence of the properties on the structure of substituents in the cation of the ionic liquid was demonstrated.

A series of tetraglyme–sodium salt ionic liquids have been prepared and found to be promising solvents to absorb SO2. The experiments here show that [Na–tetraglyme][SCN] ionic liquid has excellent thermal stability and a 30% increase in SO2 absorption capacity compared to other sodium salt ionic liquids and the previously studied lithium salt ionic liquids in terms of molar absorption capacity. The interaction between SO2 and the ionic liquid was concluded to be physical absorption by IR and NMR.

2-Oxazolines have been synthesized using a solventless ionic liquid melt in good yields at ambient temperatures. The efficiency of various Lewis acid catalysts for the same reaction has been compared. The effectiveness of different alkyl chains in the ionic liquids for the synthesis of oxazolines has been studied and a butylmethylimidazolinium chloride/indium chloride melt has been found to be the best media for promoting the reaction.

A series of ionic liquids consisting of 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium chloride (Pyr14Cl) and TaCl5 at molar ratios of Pyr14Cl in the range of 0.85 - 0.20 was synthesized. They exhibit potential application as electrolytes for the electrochemical deposition of tantalum. The thermal behaviour of the Pyr14Cl-TaCl5 mixtures was investigated, using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to estimate the range of thermal stability and to determine the optimal compositions for electrochemical trials. The Pyr14Cl-TaCl5 mixtures formed stoichiometric 3 : 2 and 2 : 3 crystalline phases with melting points of 70 °C and 130 °C, respectively, characterized by entropies of fusion of 13.6 JK−1 mol−1 and 10.1 JK−1 mol−1. The mixtures with molar fractions of Pyr14Cl equal to 0.60 and 0.40 were clear and transparent liquids and had the lowest viscosity; they were the most suitable for electrochemical applications. FTIR spectra of the Pyr14Cl-TaCl5 mixtures allowed to get insight into inter-ionic interactions and the nature of formation of these ionic liquids as a function of the molar ratio of the components.

In this study two-dimensional FTIR analysis was applied to understand the temperature effects on processing cellulose solutions in imidazolium-based ionic liquids. Analysis of the imidazolium ionνC2–H peak revealed hydrogen bonding within cellulose solutions to be dynamic on heating and cooling. The extent of hydrogen bonding was stronger on heating, consistent with greater ion mobility at higher temperature when the ionic liquid network structure is broken. At ambient temperatures a blue shiftedνC2–H peak was indicative of greater cation-anion interactions, consistent with the ionic liquid network structure. Both cellulose and water further impact the extent of hydrogen bonding in these solutions. The FTIR spectral changes appeared gradual with temperature and contrast shear induced rheology changes which were observed on heating above 70°C and cooling below 40°C. The influence of cellulose on solution viscosity was not distinguished on initial heating as the ionic liquid network structure dominates rheology behaviour. On cooling, the quantity of cellulose has a greater influence on solution rheology. Outcomes suggest processing cellulose in ionic liquids above 40°C and to reduce the impacts of cation-anion effects and enhance solubilisation, processing should be done at 70°C.
