Abstract:In this study, molecular structure of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium cation (EMIM +) was undertaken at the DFT(B3LYP)/6-311++G(2d,2p) level of approximation using the GAUSSIAN 09 suit of programs. EMIM has two conformers (EMIM-1 and EMIM-2) with minimum energies. EMIM-1 and EMIM-2 were found C1 (double degenerated by-symmetry form) and Cs symmetries, respectively. Normal coordinate analyses were performed with the BALGA program. Experimental infrared spectra of EMIM were obtained by increasing temperature (betwee… Show more
