Abstract:
We report a joint experimental and theoretical study characterising the hydrogen bond (HB) redistribution in mixtures of two different protic ionic liquids (PILs) sharing the same cation: triethylammonium–methanesulfonate ([TEA][OMs] ) and triethylammonium–trifluoromethanesulfonate ([TEA][OTf] ). The mixing behaviour deviates strongly from ideality, exhibiting large negative energies of mixing. In the PIL, the [TEA] cation acts as a HB donor, being able to donate a single HB. Both, the [OMs] and the [OTf] anions can act as HB acceptors, which can accept multiple HBs via their respective SO 3 -groups. We use a combination of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, calorimetry, and 1 H-NMR chemical shift measurements to determine the difference in HB strength between the two species to be about 13 kJ mol −1 , favouring the [TEA]–[OMs] interaction. Based on our MD simulations we are able to formulate a lattice model, discriminating between HB and nonspecific intermolecular interactions. We demonstrate that, due to the ordered structure of the PILs, mostly the HB interactions contribute to the mixing energy. This allows to us to connect the equilibrium of HBs to each of the two anion species with the mixing energies by a simple relation, which is obeyed by both, MD-simulation as well as experimental calorimetry and 1 H-NMR chemical shift data.
