Anion effect on the aggregation behavior of the long-chain spacers dicationic imidazolium-based ionic liquids

Abstract: This work reports the study of the anion effect on the aggregation behavior of the long-chain spacers of dicationic imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) in a 4.75 % (v/ v) ethanol-water solution as well as in ethanol (95 %). The anions studied were Br − , NO 3 − , BF 4 − , SCN − and NTf 2 − .Aggregation behavior was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), conductivity, surface tension, and fluorescence. In the ethanol-water solution, the critical aggregation concentration (CAC), free energy a… Show more

“…The former is related to the solvation of the counterions, while the latter alters the volume fraction of the hydrophilic block. In this study, the hydration radius of the anion follows the order: Brˉ < Iˉ < SCNˉ < PF 6 ˉ . From this aspect, the relatively hydrophilic volume is expected to increase as Brˉ is replaced by Xˉ, thus requiring a greater curvature to facilitate packing into the nano‐assemblies.…”

“…From this aspect, the relatively hydrophilic volume is expected to increase as Brˉ is replaced by Xˉ, thus requiring a greater curvature to facilitate packing into the nano‐assemblies. However, on the other hand, the hydration of four anions follows the order: Brˉ > Iˉ > SCNˉ > PF 6 ˉ, which suggests the hydrophilicity of cationic blocks decreases after Brˉ is replaced by Xˉ. The above two aspects have the opposite influence on the nature of corona segments in terms of the hydrophilicity as well as the volume fraction of hydrophilic block.…”

“…1,2 Depending of the cation and anion combination, ILs may exhibit different physicochemical properties when compared with conventional electrolytes media or organic solvents. [3][4][5] Properties such as high thermal stability, tunable electrochemical window, low flammability, broad liquid range, and ability to dissolve and stabilize a wide range of materials allow ILs to be used in engineered materials synthesis. Imidazolium-based ILs are among the most studied classes of ILs.…”

“…13,14 Our research group has been developing important works in the area of ILs. 12,[15][16][17] Recently, we showed that longer spacer groups favor the aggregation of dicationic imidazolium-based ILs in water, when the side alkyl chains are shorter (methyl). 15 Additionally, we showed that the aggregation properties of dicationic ILs are dependent on anion hydrophobicity.…”
