[Ni(Tmen)(Acac)][B(Ph)4] A Probe For The Anion Basicity Of Ionic Liquids, Joanna Bartosik, Anja V. Mudring
Anja V. Mudring
An optical basicity scale of various ionic liquids (IL) anions has been determined by UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. The indicator complex [Ni(tmen)(acac)][B(Ph)4] (tmen = tetramethylethylendiamine, acac = acetylacetonate) shows to be a sensitive probe as the position of the 3A2g(F) → 3T1g(F) absorption maximum of square planar to octahedral Ni2+ shifts distinctly depending on the electron donor ability of the respective ionic liquid anion. If the Lewis basicity of the anion becomes stronger a change to a tetrahedral coordination around Ni2+ is observed. Here the 3T1(F) → 3T2(F) and 3T1(F) → 3T1(P) transitions are helpful for monitoring the IL anion basicity. …

Ionic liquids are shown to be good solvents for elemental sulfur, selenium, phosphorus and tellurium, and can be designed to maximise the solubility of these elements. The presence of the [S3]˙− radical anion in diluted solutions of sulfur in some ionic liquids has been confirmed, and is the origin of their intense blue colour (cf. lapis lazuli).

Microwave reaction of Ln(OAc)3·xH2O, Ln = Gd, Eu; OAc = acetate) with and in the ionic liquid [C4mim][BF4] (C4mim = 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium) allows the fast and efficient synthesis of small, uniform, oxygen-free lanthanide nanofluorides with excellent photophysical behaviour. For GdF3 : Eu3+ nanoparticles a quantum efficiency of up to 145% was determined.

Physical vapour deposition into ionic liquids allows for the first time the synthesis of a reduced lanthanide halide on the nanoscale. The obtained EuF2 nanoparticles show a bright blue luminescence and form long-time stable-colloidal solutions in the ionic liquids.

Optical Basicity Of Ionic Liquids, Slawomir Pitula, Anja V. Mudring

The concept of optical basicities initially developed by Duffy for solid oxides was successfully transferred to low melting salts such as ionic liquids (ILs). Several ionic liquids (ILs) were doped with Mn(NTf2)2 (NTf2 = bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide) as a probe to investigate the IL anion basicity by means of UV-Vis spectroscopy. The 6A1 → 4A, 4E(G) transition band of Mn2+ is influenced by the electron donor properties, i.e., Lewis basicity, of the coordinating ligands but remains—to the first order—independent from the ligand field. The change in the optical spectra for various Mn(NTf2)2 doped ILs is predominantly dependent on the anion. No significant …

Dynamics Of Individual Molecules Of Linear Polyethylene Liquids Under Shear: Atomistic Simulation And Comparison With A Free-Draining Bead-Rod Chain, David Keffer, J. M. Kim, B. J. Edwards, B. Khomami
David Keffer
Nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations of a dense liquid composed of linear polyethylene chains were performed to investigate the chain dynamics under shear. Brownian dynamics (BD) simulations of a freely jointed chain with equivalent contour length were also performed in the case of a dilute solution. This allowed for a close comparison of the chain dynamics of similar molecules for two very different types of liquids. Both simulations exhibited a distribution of the end-to-end vector, |Rete|, with Gaussian behavior at low Weissenberg number (Wi). At high Wi, the NEMD distribution was bimodal, with two peaks …
