Abstract
The inherently high viscosity of ionic liquids (ILs) can limit their potential applications. One approach to address this drawback is to modify the cation side chain with ether groups. Herein, we assessed the structure-property relationship by focusing on acetate (OAc), a strongly coordinating anion, with 1,3-dialkylimidazolium cations with different side chains, including alkyl, ether, and hydroxyl functionalized, as well as their combinations. We evaluated their viscosity, thermal stabilities, and microstructure using Raman and infrared (IR) spectroscopies, allied to density functional theory (DFT) and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations. The viscosity data showed that the ether insertion significantly enhances the fluidity of the ILs, consistent with the coiling effect of the cation chain. Through a combined experimental and theoretical approach, we analyzed how the OAc anion interacts with ether ILs, revealing a characteristic bidentate coordination, particularly in hydroxyl functionalized ILs due to specific hydrogen bonding with the OH group. IR spectroscopy showed subtle shifts in the acidic hydrogens of imidazolium ring C(2)-H and C(4,5)-H, suggesting weaker interactions between OAc and the imidazolium ring in ether-functionalized ILs. Additionally, spatial distribution functions (SDF) and dihedral angle distribution obtained via AIMD confirmed the intramolecular hydrogen bonding due to the coiling effect of the ether side chain.

Abstract
SO2 is a major atmospheric pollutant leading to acid rain and smog. As a new generation of green solvents, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have been widely investigated for gas capture. Nevertheless, studies on DES-based membranes for SO2 separation are yet minimal. Herein, we devised polymer/DES blended membranes comprising 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium bromide ([Bmim]Br)/diethylene glycol (DEG) DES and poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), and these membranes were firstly used for selective separation of SO2 from N2 and CO2. The permeability of SO2 reaches up to 17480 Barrer (0.20 bar, 40 ºC) in PVDF/DES blended membrane containing 50 wt% of [Bmim]Br/DEG (2:1), with ultrahigh SO2/N2 and SO2/CO2 selectivity of 3690 and 211 obtained, respectively, far exceeding those in the state-of-the-art membranes reported in literature. The highly-reversible multi-site interaction between SO2 and [Bmim]Br/DEG DES was revealed by spectroscopic analysis. Furthermore, the PVDF/DES blended membrane was also able to efficiently and stably separate SO2/CO2/N2 (2.5/15/82.5%) mixed gas for at least 100 h. This work demonstrates for the first time that [Bmim]Br-based DESs are very efficient media for membrane separation of SO2. The easy preparation, low cost and high performance enable polymer/DES blended membranes to be promising candidates for flue gas desulfurization.

Abstract
Introduction: The effect of the functional group of the cation on SO2 acidic gas absorption by some designed amino acid ionic liquids (AAILs) was studied. Methods: An isolated pair of glycinate anion and pristine imidazolium-based cation, as well as decorated cation functionalized by hydroxyl (OH), amine (NH2), carboxylic acid (COOH), methoxy (OCH3), and acetate (CH3COO) groups, were structurally optimized by density functional theory (DFT) using split-valence triple-zeta Pople basis set. Results and Discussion: The binding and Gibbs free energy (ΔGint) values of SO2 absorption show the AAIL functionalized by the COOH group is the most thermodynamically favorable green solvent and this functional group experiences the closest distance between anion and captured SO2 and vice versa in the case of cation … SO2 which may be the main reason for being the best absorbent; in addition, the highest net charge-transfer amount of SO2 is observed. Comparing the non-covalent interaction of the systems demonstrates that the strongest hydrogen bond between captured gas and anion, as well as π-hole, and van der Waals (vdW) interaction play critical roles in gas absorption; besides, the COOH functional group decreases the steric effect while the CH3COO functional group significantly increases steric effect after absorption that declines the hydrogen bond.

Abstract
The absorption of SO2 from flue gas and its conversion to chemicals is important in the industry. Functional ionic liquids (ILs) have been broadly used to absorb SO2 in flue gas, but seldom convert it to chemicals. As we know, water is inevitable in a desulfurization process. In this work, three functional ILs (monoethanolaminium lactate-[MEA][Lac], 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidinium lactate-[TMG][Lac], tetraethylammonium lactate-[N2222][Lac]) with or without water were used as absorbents to absorb SO2 in flue gas, and then the absorbed SO2 in the absorbents was converted to sulfur via a Claus reaction. The result shows that the three ILs can efficiently absorb SO2 and convert it to sulfur. But the addition of water in the ILs can reduce the conversion of absorbed SO2, and the conversion increases with increasing the acidity of absorbents. To explain this phenomenon, we studied the Claus reaction in H2SO3, NaHSO3 and Na2SO3 aqueous solutions. It turns out that the conversion of the Claus reaction is related to the species of S (IV) in the order of the oxidability: H2SO3 > HSO3 - > SO3 2-, and their proportions dependent on the pH of solutions. On the basis of the absorption mechanism of SO2 in functional ILs aqueous solution, H2S reacts with HSO3 - and SO3 2- with weaker oxidability, resulting in the lower conversion. Importantly, we found that the addition of lactic acid could increase the conversion of SO2 via the Claus reaction.
