The cation-anion and cation-solvent interactions in solutions of the protic ionic liquid (PIL) [Et3NH][I] dissolved in solvents of different polarities are studied by means of far infrared vibrational (FIR) spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The dissociation of contact ion pairs (CIPs) and the resulting formation of solvent-separated ion pairs (SIPs) can be observed and analyzed as a function of solvent concentration, solvent polarity, and temperature. In apolar environments, the CIPs dominate for all solvent concentrations and temperatures. At high concentrations of polar solvents, SIPs are favored over CIPs. For these PIL/solvent mixtures, CIPs are reformed by increasing the temperature due to the reduced polarity of the solvent. Overall, this approach provides equilibrium constants, free energies, enthalpies, and entropies for ion-pair formation in trialkylammonium-containing PILs. These results have important implications for the understanding of solvation chemistry and the reactivity of ionic liquids.

Excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) reactions of 5-cyano-2-naphthol (5CN2) and 5,8-dicyano-2-naphthol (DCN2) were investigated in protic ionic liquids (PILs) composed of quaternary ammonium (NH) ( = 2, 4, or 8) and hexanoate (CHCOO) using time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. The effects of the number of alkyl carbons in the cation and the basicity of the anion on the reaction yield and dynamics were examined. In a series of [NH][CHCOO], fluorescence from the hydrogen-bonding complex (AHBX) of a proton-dissociated form (RO) with a solvent acid in the electronic excited state was observed between the fluorescence bands of an acidic form (ROH) and an anionic form (RO) as in the case of [NH][CFCOO] (Fujii et al.

Binary ionic melts formed by a protic ionic liquid (PIL) 1,2,4-triazolium methanesulfonate ([TAZ][MS]) dissolved in methanesulfonic acid are studied as non-stoichiometric electrolytes. The composition-driven structure-property relationship of methanesulfonic acid is explored at varying molar fraction ratios from 0/100 to 10/90, 20/80, and 30/70 by the addition of 1,2,4-triazolium methanesulfonate [TAZ][MS] IL. To unveil molecular characteristics of these mixtures of [TAZ][MS] PIL and CHSOH, we performed classical molecular dynamics simulations at varying temperatures from 293 to 303, 363, and 423 K.

As a predictive tool, quantum chemical calculations can be used to design protic ionic liquids (PILs) and predict the result. By adding anionic negative potential sites, two dual-functional PILs diethylenetriamine-barbituric acid [CHN][CHNO] and diethylenetriamine-ethylenolactonium [CHN][CHNO] were designed. The simulation results indicated that multisite absorption of anions and cations resulted in an expected absorption ratio exceeding 3:1 (mol CO:mol ILs).

We report the synthesis of two pyridinium-based room temperature protic ionic liquids (PILs), pyridinium bisulfate, [HPyr][HSO] and pyridinium sulphate, [HPyr][SO] and investigation of the kinetics of their water sorption behaviour and its influence on their density, ionic conductivity, and potential windows. The PILs were synthesized by the reaction of pyridine base with an acid, HSO, under solventless conditions, and confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy and 1H NMR spectra.
