Abstract
Various solubility switchable ionic liquids containing triflate, PF6 and BF4 anions were prepared. The protection-deprotection of the diol moiety in the cationic part was achieved under mild conditions in the presence of small amounts of an acidic ion exchange resin as an acidic catalyst. These relatively mild conditions allowed the conversion from the acetal type to the diol type in a high yield and the hydrolysis of PF6 and BF4 was minimized. The reverse conversion from the diol type to the acetal type was also possible in the presence of catalytic amounts of trifluoromethansulfonic acid (TfOH). Subsequent treatment with an alumina column was effectively prevented the hydrolysis of the acetal moiety and the anionic moieties. Partitioning experiments revealed that most of the acetal-type ionic liquids preferred to partition to organic phase regardless of the water-CH2Cl2 or water-EtOAc system, while the diol-type ionic liquids mostly preferred to partition to the aqueous phase as long as the number of carbons in the cationic part was less than 13 or 14, which was much larger than the number of carbons in the analogous ionic liquids containing NTf2 as the anionic part.
期刊介绍:
The journal includes papers in the following areas:
– Simple organic liquids and mixtures
– Ionic liquids
– Surfactant solutions (including micelles and vesicles) and liquid interfaces
– Colloidal solutions and nanoparticles
– Thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystals
– Ferrofluids
– Water, aqueous solutions and other hydrogen-bonded liquids
– Lubricants, polymer solutions and melts
– Molten metals and salts
– Phase transitions and critical phenomena in liquids and confined fluids
– Self assembly in complex liquids.– Biomolecules in solution
The emphasis is on the molecular (or microscopic) understanding of particular liquids or liquid systems, especially concerning structure, dynamics and intermolecular forces. The experimental techniques used may include:
– Conventional spectroscopy (mid-IR and far-IR, Raman, NMR, etc.)
– Non-linear optics and time resolved spectroscopy (psec, fsec, asec, ISRS, etc.)
– Light scattering (Rayleigh, Brillouin, PCS, etc.)
– Dielectric relaxation
– X-ray and neutron scattering and diffraction.
Experimental studies, computer simulations (MD or MC) and analytical theory will be considered for publication; papers just reporting experimental results that do not contribute to the understanding of the fundamentals of molecular and ionic liquids will not be accepted. Only papers of a non-routine nature and advancing the field will be considered for publication.
