Two Cyano‐Functionalized, Cadmium‐Containing Ionic Liquids

Abstract

Keywords: Ionic liquids / Cadmium / Crystal structure / Hydrogen bonds / Thermal behaviorThe new ionic liquids 3-cyanomethyl-1-methylimidazolium tetrachlorocadmate (1) and 3-(4-cyanobutyl)-1-methylimidazolium tetrachlorocadmate (2) were obtained from the reaction of the respective alkylimidazolium chlorides with cadmium chloride in 2:1 molar ratios. Structural characterization of 1 by single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals the existence of [CdCl 4 ] 2-tetrahedra and substantial C-H···Cl hydrogen

A new binuclear Cd(II)-containing ionic liquid: Preparation and electrocatalytic activities

“…Martin's group reported a series of metal-containing ionic liquid crystals formed by surfactant templating of molten metal halides (including Zn, Cd, Cu, Ni, Co, Fe and Mn) [12]. Tang synthesized two cyano-containing compounds, reacted them with cadmium chloride and obtained two new cadmium-containing ionic liquids [13].…”

An electrochemical sensing platform based on a new Cd(II)-containing ionic liquid for the determination of trichloroacetic acid and bromate

“…These values are in the range of Cl-Cd-Cl angles known from previous studies[17]. There is one weak potentially intramolecular C-H···N hydrogen bond interaction, with the donor-acceptor distance of 2.6757 Å for C(14)-H(14B)···N(10).…”

A new Cd(II)-containing ionic liquid: Synthesis, characterization and electrocatalysis

“…27 Tang and Madring have synthesized two cyano-containing compounds, reacted them with cadmium chloride and obtained two new cadmium-containing ionic liquids. 28 Our group has studied the electrocatalytic reduction of hydrogen peroxide and bromate by a binuclear Cd(II)-containing ionic liquid modified electrode 29 and a La(III)-containing ionic liquid bulk-modified carbon paste electrode. 30 The present work we report the synthesis and crystal structure of [(C 4 H 9 ) 2 -bta][(C 4 H 9 -bta)CdCl 3 ], and the use of this new metal-containing ionic liquid as a bulk-modifier to fabricate a chemically modified carbon paste electrode by direct mixing.…”
