The optical constants of some imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) are determined in the mid- and far-infrared regions by combining polarized attenuated total reflection (ATR) transmittance spectra. internal vibrations cations anions interionic can thus be quantitatively evaluated. A comparison far-IR spectral response several imidazolium derivatives associated with (CF(3)SO(2))(2)N(-) anion shows that methylation more acidic C((2))H group does not change intensity hence CH...anion hydrogen...
A series of ionic liquids involving imidazolium, pyrrolidinium, and alkyl ammonium cations with different anions (namely, [BF(4)], [PF(6)], [TFSI], [SCN], [(CN)(2)N]) have been studied by hyper-Rayleigh scattering (HRS), which is a powerful technique to probe the local structure in multipolar description. The interpretation HRS measurements terms an elementary structural (ES) entity has revealed dominating octopolar nature ES scatterers. By combining analysis density functional theory...
In this paper we investigate the solvation of silver bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide salt (AgTFSI) in 1‐ethyl‐3‐methylimidazolium TFSI [EMI][TFSI] ionic liquid by combining Raman and infrared (IR) spectroscopies with density functional theory (DFT) calculations.
