Article Abstract
The glassy, supercooled, and normal liquid states of the 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium tricyanomethanide series [CnC1im][TCM] (n = 2, 4, 6, 8, and 16) were investigated by dielectric and mechanical (rheological) experiments supplemented by X-ray diffraction. The conductivity relaxation was found to be accompanied by a pronounced secondary relaxation. However, based on ambient and high-pressure results as well as the coupling model, we assumed that the latter one can not be classified as Johari-Goldstein relaxation. Moreover, the studies on the nanoscale organization of ionic liquids indicated that 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium tricyanomethanide ILs begin to form nanoscale aggregates when the alkyl chain of the cation has six carbon atoms.

Ionic liquids (ILs) are a class of organic salts with melting points below 100°C. Owing to their unique chemical and physical properties, they are used as solvents and catalysts in various chemical transformations, progressively replacing common volatile organic solvents (VOCs) in green synthetic applications. However, their intrinsic ionic nature can restrict the use of mass spectrometric techniques to monitor the time progress of a reaction occurring in an IL medium, thus preventing one from following the formation of the reaction products or intercepting the reaction intermediates.

The study of electrochemical oxidations has wide-ranging implications, from the development of new electrocatalysts for fuel cells for energy conversion, to the synthesis of fine chemicals. 2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) has been used for decades as a sustainable, metal-free mediator for chemical oxidations and is now being used for electrochemical oxidations. We describe here a novel approach to TEMPO-mediated electrooxidations, in which the chemical input and waste generated during electrooxidations of alcohols are minimized by using a multifunctional room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) to facilitate flow electrosynthesis.

The crystallization behavior of ionic liquids (ILs) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium [BMIM] hexafluorophosphate [PF] and chloride [Cl] is investigated upon confinement in 2.3 or 8.2 nm diameter silica nanopore arrays, along with the effects of covalently modifying the pore walls with 1-(3-trimethoxysilylpropyl)3-methylimidazolium [TMS-MIM] groups.

Through molecular dynamics simulations of imidazolium-based ionic liquid-water mixtures, it was found that the trace water leads to an anomalous non-monotonic change in the diffusion coefficients of ionic liquid, characterized by an initial decrease followed by an increase. Hydrogen bond analysis revealed that this unusual trend is governed by the weighted hydrogen bond lifetime, reflecting the stability of the hydrogen-bond network, rather than simply the number or energy of hydrogen bonds.

Room temperature ionic liquids show great promise as electrolytes in various technological applications, such as energy storage or electrotunable lubrication. These applications are particularly intriguing due to the specific behavior of ionic liquids in nanoconfinement. While previous research has been focused on optimizing the required characteristics through the selection of electrolyte properties, the contribution of confining material properties in these systems has been largely overlooked.
