Chain Length Dependence of Hydrogen Bond Linkages between Cationic Constituents in Hydroxy-Functionalized Ionic Liquids: Tracking Bulk Behavior to the Molecular Level with Cold Cluster Ion Spectroscopy
Abstract
Hydroxy functionalization of cations in ionic liquids (ILs) can lead to formation of contacts between their OH groups [so-called (c–c) interactions]. One class of these linkages involves cooperatively enhanced hydrogen bonds to anionic partners that are sufficiently strong to overcome the repulsion between two positively charged centers. Herein, we clarify how the propensity for the formation of (c–c) contacts depends on the alkyl chain length between two cationic rings and their OH groups by analyzing the temperature-dependent IR spectra of bulk ILs as well as the vibrational predissociation spectra of ~35 K complexes comprised of two cations and one anion. This study compares the behavior of two cationic derivatives with ethyl and propyl chains complexed with two different anions: bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide and tetrafluoroborate. Only the bulk ILs with the longer chain propyl derivative [HPMPip+ = 1-(3-hydroxypropyl)-1-methylpiperidinium] display (c–c) interactions. Finally, molecular-level aspects of this docking arrangement are revealed by analyzing the OH stretching fundamentals displayed by the ternary complexes.
