Ionic liquids (IL) are salts that are liquid at room temperature

ILs consist of organic cations (low symmetry) and weakly basic (in)organicanions (diffuse charge)

Seddon “To use the term molten salts to describe these novel systems (BK: ILs) is as archaic as describing a car as a horseless carriage” Seddon, J. Chem. Tech. Biotechnol. 1997, 68, 351-356

Why are IL intersting and problematic?

MacFarlane: “While early work in the field

tended to presume that ILs hadvery similar properties as a

class, it is now widelyrecognized that, in fact, they

offer a wide range of properties and that one of the

only properties that can bethought of as ubiquitous amongILs is ion conductivity.“ MacFarlane,

Density functional theory *

Crucial for performance: exchange-correlation (XC) functional; Generations:1. L(S)DA: Local spin density; depends only on ρ (ok for solid-state physics but

fail for chemistry)2. GGA: Generalized gradient approximation; depends also on ∇ρ (ok for

thermochemistry but barriers heights)3. Meta-GGA: kinetic energy density is added τ (performance slightly better

than GGA)4. Hybrid functionals (B3LYP): add Hartree-Fock exchange (exact exchange);

(energetics better, but barrier heights are still underestimated; Non-covalent interactions are not well described, transition metals not good enough)

(Zhao and Truhlar, Acc. Chem. Res. 41 2008, 157-167)

Important idea:Obtain energy from density which is a function of only three variables: ρ(r) or n(r)

Pauling 1960: “Under certain conditions a hydrogen atom is attracted by rather strong forces to two atoms, instead of only one, so that it may be considered to be acting as a bond between them.” and “it is now recognized that the hydrogen atom H, with only one stable orbital (the 1s orbital), can form only one covalent bond, that the hydrogen bond is largely ionic in character, and that it is formed only between the most electronegative atoms”

Pimentel/McClellan 1997: “A hydrogen bond exists when (1) there is evidence of a bond, and (2) there is evidence that this bond stericallyinvolves a hydrogen atom already bonded to another atom.”

Steiner/Sänger 1993: “…any cohesive interaction X-H…Y where H carries a positive and Y a negative (partial or full) charge and the charge on X is more negative than the one on H”

Hbond going back: What is known?

J. Mol. Struct., 2010, 972, 2224

Weak hydrogen bonds 1999: Lack directionality! But blue-shifted. X gains negative charge

Gilli Leitmotifs 1994: (±) CAHB double charge-assisted Hbonds: R-D-H…A-R‘ ↔ R-D- …H-A+-R‘

Arunan 2009: „The hydrogen bond is an attractive interaction between the hydrogen from a group X–H and an atom or a group of atoms Y, in the same or different molecule(s), where there is evidence of bond formation’. The most important criteria for a hydrogen bond are: (i) the H in the X–H group is more electropositive than X and (ii) the physical forces involved in hydrogen bonding should include attractive electrostatic forces, i.e. it should not be primarily dispersive forces.” CURRENT SCIENCE, 2007, 218; PCCP, 2009, 11, 8974

Hydrogen bonds can be present:- AlCl3-melts: Larger Anions (acidic mixtures Inorg. Chem., 2007, 47, 2751) → weaker

hbonds? → lower viscosities Wasserscheid and Keim, Aciee 2000, 39, 3777

- Close contacts between counter ions Seddon et al. Struct. Chem. 1990,1, 391

Hydrogen bonds are not important:- Lack of directionality Tsuzuki et al.PCCP, 2007, 9, 4780

- Time scale of transport properties are different than hbond dynamics

Hydrogen bonds are irritating:- Elimination of hydrogen bonds leads to increase in viscosity! PCCP, 2008, 10, 6909

→ We are dealing with a large confusion ofwhat hydrogen bond in ILs is

and whether it is important or not! J. Mol. Struct., 2010, 972 22 ; PCCP, 2010, 12, 7473

Summary to intermolecular forces• Intermolecular forces: Different forces are present and Ions act in the

repulsive if only electrostatics are considered dispersion forces are important!

• Density functional theory combined with correction schemes perform well!

• Hbonds can be present at the in-plane conformation in IM-IL and PILS!

• How likely are in-plane and the on-top conformers in the bulk liquid?

• If both conformers are populated, how often and how fast do these changes take place?

• What is the impact of possible hydrogen bonding? Does it favor the liquid or the solid state?

SEN (=shared electron number) by Ernest R. Davidson.

The occupation number NA of atom A in a molecule AB is defined as: NA = tr D PA

and the shared electron number is σAB = NA + NB – nAB.

- RESP fastest according to absolute charges- Cation faster than anion

- Numbers are in reasonable range compared to exp.

Comparison to experiment

- Temperature dependency of RESP

simulations-Diffusion is in excellent

agreement of measurements from

Naumov / Iacob / Kärger(pulsed field gradient

PFG NMR) and Sangoro/ Kremer (broadband dielectric spec. BDS)

- Synthesis and purification by

Lingenscheid / Giernoth

55

- With changing time scale, we observe different motions

-Side chain is faster than ring motion !

Summary to [Bmim][Br] MD simulation• Results very dependent on force field parametrization → Still new

force fields are needed.

• Structure: Microheterogeneity is observed, distinction of polar and unpolar domains was proved ← Basics: Different intermolecular forces as shown by the QC calculations

• Dynamics: Excellent agreement with experiment!

• Dynamics: Heterogeneity found as well → Another origin for the liquid state (next to large and unsymmetric ions)?

Summary

Summary• Methods: - Severe approximations are made, -

lack of dispersion description can be corrected in DFT

• Intermolecular forces: - Different forces are present - and ions act in the repulsive if only electrostatics are considered weaker forces; Hbond is possible; - Dispersion!

• [Emim][SCN]: - distinct cation-anion structure of the liquid; - fast unexpected dynamics; - on-top and in-plane both occur (probably equal likely);

• [CH3NH3][NO3]: - hydrogen bond fingerprint in structure; -configurations dynamics

• [Bmim][Br]: Parametrisation important!; -Structural and dynamical microheterogenity;

• Correlation between MD and QC!
