ABSTRACT

Four ionic liquids (ILs) based on the bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (NTf2) anion were synthesized and characterized concerning their thermal stability, the occurrence of low temperature phase transitions and their volatility. All these physical quantities are highly important for possible applications. Both monocationic and dicationic ILs were considered. All ILs exhibit thermal stability exceeding 350 °C, an extremely high value, due to the presence of the NTf2 anion. Monocationic ILs can undergo crystallization, and they melt at 1 and 38 °C. On the contrary, dicationic ILs containing large positively charged ions display only a glass transition around -40 °C, without any crystallization or melting process; this fact is particularly important in view of the possibly low temperature applications of the dication ILs. The vapor pressure, pv, of the four ILs was measured by isothermal thermogravimetry in the temperature range between 250 and 325 °C; the lowest values of pv were obtained for the two dicationic liquids, suggesting that they are particularly well suited for high temperature applications. The vaporization enthalpy was calculated through the Clausius-Clapeyron equation and was found in the range between ~140 and ~180 kJ/mol depending on the specific IL.

ABSTRACT

In this work we studied the structural and electronic properties of the metal-Schiff base complexes Ni[Formula: see text] (1), Pd[Formula: see text] (2), Zn[Formula: see text] (3), and Ni[Formula: see text](4), where L1 and L2 are Schiff bases synthesized from salicylaldehyde and 2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzaldehyde, respectively. Natural bond analysis showed that in complexes 1 and 2, the metal ion coordinates to the ligands through electron donation from lone pairs on ligand nitrogen and oxygen atoms to s and d orbitals on the metal ion. In complex 3, metal-N and metal-O bonds are formed through charge transfer from the lone pairs on nitrogen and oxygen atoms to an s orbital of Zn. Dimethylation of the phenolate rings in the ligands decreases the energy gap and redshifts the spectrum of the nickel complex. The main absorptions observed were assigned on the basis of singlet-state transitions. The simulated spectra of the two complexes 1 and 2 are characterized by excited states with ligand-to-ligand charge-transfer (LLCT), metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT), ligand-to-metal charge-transfer (LMCT), and metal-centered (MC) character.
