Abstract:We describe the properties of three new aprotic ionic liquids (ILs) with irreducible cations and anions which are close relatives of the commonly used -N(CN)2 anion, namely -N(CHO)2 (diformylamide) and -N(CO)2(CH2)2 (succinimide), having pKa values which are slightly more basic than the pKa of OH- ions of aqueous solution chemistry. In addition to using the well-known N-butyl-N-methyl pyrrolidinium cation [P14+], we report the use of the tetrabutylammonium cation (+N[CH3(CH2)3]4), in forming an ionic liquid wi… Show more
