Abstract
Complicated phase transitions were observed in a single-component 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium nitrate ([C10mim][NO3]) ionic liquid (IL) using Raman spectroscopy and synchrotron small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SWAXS). Time-resolved synchrotron SWAXS could distinguish the phase transitions depending upon the cooling rate. Low-Q peaks representing a few kinds of layered structures were decomposed. Multiphase coexistence was observed in [C10mim][NO3] at specific cooling rates (8–9 K/min). Ionic liquid crystals (ILCs), hybrid-layered crystals, and hexagonal close-packed structures coexisted simultaneously. At the cooling rate region, the reentrant phase transition of the ILC phase upon heating was observed.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Physical Chemistry (JPC) Letters is devoted to reporting new and original experimental and theoretical basic research of interest to physical chemists, biophysical chemists, chemical physicists, physicists, material scientists, and engineers. An important criterion for acceptance is that the paper reports a significant scientific advance and/or physical insight such that rapid publication is essential. Two issues of JPC Letters are published each month.
