Magnetic ionic liquids (MILs) are a subclass of ionic liquids (ILs) containing paramagnetic components and are readily manipulated by an external magnetic field. Due to their hydrophilic nature, very few applications of MILs in aqueous systems have been reported. In this study, three general classes of hydrophobic MILs including monocationic, symmetrical/unsymmetrical dicationic, and symmetrical/unsymmetrical tricationic MILs were synthesized and characterized. By tuning the structure of the MIL, various physicochemical properties including water solubility, magnetic susceptibility, and melting point were regulated. MILs synthesized with the benzimidazolium cation were shown to exhibit lower water solubility (0.1% (w/v)) when compared to those containing …

DNA extraction represents a significant bottleneck in nucleic acid analysis. In this study, hydrophobic magnetic ionic liquids (MILs) were synthesized and employed as solvents for the rapid and efficient extraction of DNA from aqueous solution. The DNA-enriched microdroplets were manipulated by application of a magnetic field. The three MILs examined in this study exhibited unique DNA extraction capabilities when applied toward a variety of DNA samples and matrices. High extraction efficiencies were obtained for smaller single-stranded and double-stranded DNA using the benzyltrioctylammonium bromotrichloroferrate(III) ([(C8)3BnN+][FeCl3Br–]) MIL, while the dicationic 1,12-di(3-hexadecylbenzimidazolium)dodecane bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imide bromotrichloroferrate(III) ([(C16BnIM)2C122+][NTf2–, FeCl3Br–]) MIL produced higher extraction efficiencies for larger …

Tuning The Selectivity Of Ionic Liquid Stationary Phases For Enhanced Separation Of Nonpolar Analytes In Kerosene Using Multidimensional Gas Chromatography, Leandro W. Hantao, Ali Najafi, Cheng Zhang, Fabio Augusto, Jared L. Anderson

Jared L. Anderson

In this study, a series of ionic liquids (ILs) are evaluated as stationary phases in comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC × GC) for the separation of aliphatic hydrocarbons from kerosene. IL-based stationary phases were carefully designed to evaluate the role of cavity formation/dispersive interaction on the chromatographic retention of nonpolar analytes by GC × GC. The maximum allowable operating temperature (MAOT) of the IL-based columns was compared to that of commercial IL-based columns. Evaluation of the solvation characteristics of GC columns guided the selection of the best performing IL-based stationary phases for the resolution of aliphatic hydrocarbons, namely, trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium tetrachloroferrate …

Since their initial discovery in 1914, ionic liquids (ILs) have been widely studied in multiple chemistry disciplines. Applications of ILs in analytical chemistry have enjoyed much success and contributed to the rapid evolution of the ionic liquid field. ILs are collectively known as organic salts which possess melting points at or below 100 °C. In most cases, ILs are composed of an organic cation and an organic or inorganic anion. It has been estimated there can be up to 1018 possible combinations of ILs, due to the ability to interchange their corresponding cationic/anionic moieties.

Abraham Model Correlations For Predicting Gas-To-Liquid Partition Coefficients And Activity Coefficients Of Organic Solutes Dissolved In 1-(2-Methoxyethyl)-1- Methylpyrrolidinium Tris(Pentafluoroethyl)Trifluorophosphate, Rui Jiang, Jared L. Anderson, Timothy W. Stephens, William E. Acree Jr., Micael H. Abraham

Jared L. Anderson

Chromatographic retention factors were measured for 45 different organic solutes of varying polarity and hydrogen-bonding capability on an anhydrous 1-(2-methoxyethyl)-1-methylpyrrolidinium tris(pentafluoroethyl)trifluorophosphate, ([MeoeMPyrr]+ [FAP]– ), stationary phase at both 323 K and 353 K. The experimental retention factor data were combined with recently published thermodynamic data for solutes dissolved in ([MeoeMPyrr]+ [FAP]– ) to give the corresponding gas-to-liquid partition coefficients (log K). The water-to-anhydrous ([MeoeMPyrr]+ [FAP]– ) partition coefficients (log P) were also calculated using published gas-to-water partition coefficient data for the solutes studied. The derived partition coefficients were analyzed in accordance with the Abraham model. The Abraham model expressions that …


Ultraviolet Photoinitiated On-Fiber Copolymerization Of Ionic Liquid Sorbent Coatings For Headspace And Direct Immersion Solid-Phase Microextraction, Tien D. Ho, Honglian Yu, William T.S. Cole, Jared L. Anderson Sep 2012

Ultraviolet Photoinitiated On-Fiber Copolymerization Of Ionic Liquid Sorbent Coatings For Headspace And Direct Immersion Solid-Phase Microextraction, Tien D. Ho, Honglian Yu, William T.S. Cole, Jared L. Anderson

Jared L. Anderson

A high-throughput method for the production of solid-phase microextraction (SPME) sorbent coatings via ultraviolet (UV) photoinitiated copolymerization of ionic liquid (IL) monomers on a fused silica support is described. The copolymerization of monocationic and dicationic IL cross-linkers was performed “on-fiber” using UV initiated free radical polymerization. Mixtures composed of various amounts of the IL cross-linker, UV initiator (DAROCUR 1173), and IL monomer were dip-coated onto an etched and derivatized fused silica support and placed in a high-capacity UV reactor. The method requires no organic dispersive solvent and is much more rapid compared to traditional methods in which polymeric ionic liquid …

Determination Of The Solubilizing Character Of 1-Methoxyethyl-1- Methylpiperidinium Tris(Pentafluoroethyl)Trifluorophosphate Based On The Abraham Solvation Parameter Model, Pamela Twu, Jared L. Anderson, Timothy W. Stephens, William E. Acree Jr., Michael H. Abraham

Jared L. Anderson

Chromatographic retention data were measured for a chemically diverse set of organic solutes on an anhydrous 1-methoxyethyl-1-methylpiperidinium tris(pentafluoroethyl)trifluorophosphate, ([MeoeMPip]+ [FAP]–), stationary phase at both 323 K and 353 K. The experimental retention factors were combined with previously published thermodynamic data and gas-to-water partition coefficient data to yield gas-to-anhydrous ionic liquid (IL) and water-to-anhydrous IL partition coefficients. The three sets of partition coefficient data were analyzed in accordance with the Abraham model. The Abraham model correlations that were determined in the present study describe the observed gas-to-([MeoeMPip]+[FAP]–) (log K) and water-to-([MeoeMPip]+[FAP]–) (log P) partition coefficient data to within average standard deviations …

Jared L. Anderson

Data have been assembled from the published literature on the infinite dilution activity coefficients and gas solubilities of solutes dissolved in ionic liquid (IL) solvents. In total data for more than 1790 solute-IL pairs were compiled. The published experimental data were converted to gas-to-IL and water-to-IL partition coefficients, and correlated with the ion-specific equation coefficient version of the Abraham general solvation model. Ion-specific equation coefficients were calculated for 19 different cations and 12 different anions. The calculated ion-specific equation coefficients describe the experimental gas-to-IL and water-to-IL partition coefficient data to within 0.114 and 0.139 log units, respectively. Reported for the …


Polymeric Ionic Liquids As Co2 Selective Sorbent Coatings For Solid-Phase Microextraction, Qichao Zhao, Jonathan C. Wajert, Jared L. Anderson Dec 2009

Polymeric Ionic Liquids As Co2 Selective Sorbent Coatings For Solid-Phase Microextraction, Qichao Zhao, Jonathan C. Wajert, Jared L. Anderson

Jared L. Anderson

Two polymeric ionic liquids (PIL) were synthesized and employed as sorbent coatings in solid-phase microextraction (SPME) for the selective extraction of CO2. The two coatings, poly(1-vinyl-3-hexylimidazolium) bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imide [poly(VHIM-NTf2)] and poly(1-vinyl-3-hexylimidazolium) taurate [poly(VHIM-taurate)], exhibited varied selectivity toward CO2 due to functional groups within in the PIL that imparted different mechanisms of CO2 capture. Extraction efficiencies were compared to those of two commercial SPME fibers [poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) and Carboxen−PDMS]. The poly(VHIM-NTf2) PIL fiber exhibited comparable extraction efficiency at high CO2 pressure compared to the Carboxen−PDMS fiber, even though the PIL-based fibers possessed much smaller film thicknesses. Calibration curves generated in pure CO2 …

Exploiting The Versatility Of Ionic Liquids In Separation Science: Determination Of Low-Volatility Aliphatic Hydrocarbons And Fatty Acid Methyl Esters Using Headspace Solid-Phase Microextraction Coupled To Gas Chromatography, Yunjing Meng, Veronica Pino, Jared L. Anderson

Jared L. Anderson

The determination of high-molecular weight aliphatic hydrocarbons and fatty acid methyl esters possessing high boiling points and low vapor pressures was performed using a headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography (HS-SPME-GC) method comprised entirely of ionic liquids (ILs). The method utilizes three independently structurally engineered ILs in which the imparted physical and chemical properties make them compatible with the requirements of each component of the method. Component one is composed of a thermally stable IL solvent used to increase the equilibrium concentration of analytes in the HS, component two is a SPME sorbent coating based on a polymeric ionic liquid (PIL) …


Ionic Liquids Containing The Tris(Pentafluoroethyl)Trifluorophosphate Anion: A New Class Of Highly Selective And Ultra Hydrophobic Solvents For The Extraction Of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Using Single Drop Microextraction, Cong Yao, William R. Pitner, Jared L. Anderson May 2009

Ionic Liquids Containing The Tris(Pentafluoroethyl)Trifluorophosphate Anion: A New Class Of Highly Selective And Ultra Hydrophobic Solvents For The Extraction Of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Using Single Drop Microextraction, Cong Yao, William R. Pitner, Jared L. Anderson

Jared L. Anderson

A new class of ionic liquids (ILs) containing the tris(pentafluoroethyl)trifluorophosphate (FAP) anion are paired with imidazolium, phosphonium, and pyrrolidinium cations and used as extraction solvents in direct immersion single drop microextraction (SDME) studies coupled to high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The selectivity and sensitivity of the extraction method can be tuned and manipulated by varying the cationic component of the IL, thereby providing larger enrichment factors for a variety of analytes, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Compared to other hydrophobic ILs containing the hexafluorophosphate (PF6−) and bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imide (NTf2−) anions, FAP-based ILs are significantly more hydrophobic and hydrolytically stable permitting them …

Sprunger, Jennifer Gibbs, Amy Proctor, William E. Acree Jr., Michael H. Abraham, Yunjing Meng, Cong Yao, Jared L. Anderson

Jared L. Anderson

Previously reported ion-specific equation coefficients for both the Abraham general solvation model and Goss modified Abraham model are updated using recently measured activity coefficient, gas chromatographic retention factor, and solubility data for solutes dissolved in room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs). Reported for the first time are equation coefficients for 1-propyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium cation, and octylsulfate and thiocyanate anions. In total nine sets of cation-specific and eight sets of anion-specific equation coefficients have been determined for each model. The derived correlations describe the 976 experimental gas-to-RTIL partition coefficients to within a standard deviation of 0.12 log units and the 955 experimental water-to-RTIL partitions …

Room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs), also known as liquid organic, molten, or fused salts, are a class of nonmolecular ionic solvents with low melting points. The accepted definition of an RTIL is any salt that has a melting point lower than ambient temperature (1). However, “ionic liquid” (IL) is often applied to any compound that has a melting point <100 °C. Most common RTILs are composed of unsymmetrically substituted nitrogen-containing cations (e.g., imidazole, pyrrolidine, pyridine) with inorganic anions (e.g., Cl–, PF6 –, BF4 –). ILs are also interesting because of their other useful and intriguing physicochemical properties. Wilkes et al. first reported ambient-temperature ILs based on the 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium cation in 1982 (2). Since then, many ILs containing a variety of cations and anions of different sizes have been synthesized to provide specific characteristics.
