Ionic Liquids: Structure and Photochemical Reactions

Abstract: Ionic liquids are subjects of intense current interest within the physical chemistry community. A great deal of progress has been made in just the past five years toward identifying the factors that cause these salts to have low melting points and other useful properties. Supramolecular structure and organization have emerged as important and complicated topics that may be key to understanding how chemical reactions and other processes are affected by ionic liquids. New questions are posed, and an active debat… Show more

“…A range of models have been used to describe IL bulk structure, including ion pairs, [3][4][5][6] hydrogen-bonded networks, [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] ion clusters, [17][18][19] and self-assembled nanoscale structuring. 1,[20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] The most appropriate model is strongly related to the type of IL under study, as there are many distinct classes.…”

“…20,30,31 Since then, the structure of ILs has been an intense research area with several reviews on their bulk structure having being written. 7,8,[32][33][34][35] Early molecular dynamics (MD) simulations postulated the formation of nanostructure within several different systems of [Cnmim][X]. 21,[23][24][25] When alkyl chains were sufficiently long the chains were observed to aggregate to form alkyl-chain domains.…”

“…The constituent cations and anions of ILs are commonly strongly asymmetric, flexible, polar, polarizable, and often hydrophobic. 1,2 These amphiphilic properties lead to poorly ordered solids with free energies that favor the liquid over the crystalline state near ambient temperatures. These properties of ILs are also responsible for the great interest in using them for energy applications such as for solar photoelectrochemical cells, lithium batteries, ultracapacitors, safe handling and processing of highly radioactive materials, and dissolution of biomass.…”

“…29 The x-ray experiments measure the coherent x-ray scattering intensity, I coh (q), as a function of scattering vector, q = | q| = (4π/λ) sin(θ ), where 2θ is the scattering angle and λ is the x-ray wavelength. The I coh (q) is corrected in order to calculate the structure function, S(q) 2 , where x i and f i are the atomic concentration and x-ray scattering factor, respectively, for the atomic species i.…”
