Abstract
In this study, we investigated the water concentration dependence of the intermolecular vibrations of two hydrated ionic liquids (ILs), cholinium dihydrogen phosphate ([ch][dhp]) and cholinium bromide ([ch]Br), using femtosecond Raman-induced Kerr effect spectroscopy (fs-RIKES). The anions of the former and latter hydrated ILs are kosmotropic and chaotropic, respectively. We found that the spectral peak of ∼50 cm-1 shifted to the low-frequency side in hydrated [ch][dhp], indicating the weakening of its intermolecular interactions. In contrast, no change in the peak frequency of the low-frequency band at ∼50 cm-1 was observed with increasing water concentration in hydrated [ch]Br. The vibrational density of states (VDOS) spectra generated from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were in qualitative agreement with the experimental results. Decomposition analysis of the VDOS spectra for each component revealed that the red shift of the low-frequency band in the hydrated [ch][dhp] upon water addition was essentially due to the contributions of anions and water rather than that of the cholinium cation. We also found from the low-frequency spectra of the two hydrated ILs that they differed in the concentration dependence of the 180 cm-1 band, which is assigned as a hindered translational motion of water molecules combined to form O···O stretching motions. From the relationship between the peak frequency of the low-frequency band and the bulk parameter, which is the square root of the surface tension divided by the density, we found that the peak frequency in the hydrated IL with kosmotropic [dhp]- depends on the bulk parameter, similar to the case for an aqueous solution of the typical deep eutectic solvent reline. However, the peak frequency of the hydrated IL with chaotropic Br- is constant with the bulk parameter.

Abstract
The microscopic aspects of 1-methyl-3-octylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([MOIm][BF4]) mixtures with formamide (FA), N-methylformamide (NMF), and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) were investigated using spectroscopic techniques of femtosecond Raman-induced Kerr effect spectroscopy (fs-RIKES), FT-IR, and NMR. Molecular dynamics simulations and quantum chemistry calculations were also performed. According to fs-RIKES, the first moment of the low-frequency spectrum bands mainly originating from the intermolecular vibrations in the [MOIm][BF4]/FA and [MOIm][BF4]/DMF systems changed gradually with the molecular liquid mole fraction XML but that in the [MOIm][BF4]/NMF system was constant up to XNMF = 0.7 and then gradually increased in the range of XNMF ≥ 0.7. Excluding the contribution of the 2D hydrogen-bonding network due to the presence of FA in the low-frequency spectrum band, the XML dependence of the normalized first moment of the low-frequency band in the [MOIm][BF4]/FA and [MOIm][BF4]/NMF systems revealed that the normalized first moment did not remarkably change in the range of XML < 0.7 but drastically increased in XML ≥ 0.7. FT-IR results indicated that the amide C═O band shifted to the low-frequency side with increasing XML for the three mixtures due to the hydrogen bonds. The imidazolium ring C-H band also showed a similar tendency to the amide C═O band. 19F NMR probed the microenvironment of [BF4]- in the mixtures. The [MOIm][BF4]/NMF and [MOIm][BF4]/DMF systems showed an up-field shift of the F atoms of the anion with increasing XML, and the [MOIm][BF4]/FA system exhibited a down-field shift. Steep changes in the chemical shifts were confirmed in the region of XML > 0.8. On the basis of the quantum chemistry calculations, the observed chemical shifts with increasing XML were mainly attributed to the many-body interactions of ions and amides for the [MOIm][BF4]/FA and [MOIm][BF4]/DMF systems. Meanwhile, the long distance between the cation and the anion was due to the high dielectric medium for the [MOIm][BF4]/NMF system, which led to an up-field shift.

Abstract
This study compared the physical properties, e.g., glass transition temperature, melting point, viscosity, density, surface tension, and electrical conductivity, and the low-frequency spectra under 200 cm-1 of three synthesized ionic liquids (ILs), triethylpentylphosphonium bis(fluorosulfonyl)amide ([P2225][NF2]), ethoxyethyltriethylphosphonium bis(fluorosulfonyl)amide ([P222(2O2)][NF2]), and triethyl[2-(ethylthio)ethyl]phosphonium bis(fluorosulfonyl)amide ([P222(2S2)][NF2]), at various temperatures using femtosecond Raman-induced Kerr effect spectroscopy (fs-RIKES) and terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS). The [P222(2S2)][NF2] had the highest viscosity and glass transition temperature, whereas the [P222(2O2)][NF2] had the lowest. Among the three ILs, the [P222(2S2)][NF2] had the highest density and surface tension, and the [P222(2O2)][NF2] had the highest electrical conductivity. The RIKES and THz-TDS spectral line shapes for the three ILs varied significantly. For the [P2225][NF2], molecular dynamics simulations successfully reproduced the line shapes of the experimental spectra and indicated that the RIKES spectrum was mainly due to the cation and cross-term and their rotational motions, whereas the THz-TDS spectrum was mainly due to the anion and its translational motion. This shows that it is desirable to utilize both fs-RIKES and THz-TDS methods to reveal molecular motions at the low-frequency domain. The [P222(2S2)][NF2] had higher frequency peaks and broader bands in the low-frequency spectra via fs-RIKES and THz-TDS than those for the [P2225][NF2] and [P222(2O2)][NF2].

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the temperature dependence of intermolecular vibrations and orientational dynamics in the aqueous solutions of imidazole hydrochloride, imidazole, sodium triazolide, and triazole using femtosecond Raman-induced Kerr effect spectroscopy (fs-RIKES) and steady-state Raman spectroscopy. The difference low-frequency Raman spectra under 250 cm-1 of the aqueous solutions relative to the neat water showed that the spectral shoulder in the high-frequency region at 60-100 cm-1, assigned to the libration of an aromatic ring, was higher in frequency for the imidazolium cation but lower for the triazolide anion than those of the respective neutral aromatics. The results of the ab initio quantum chemistry calculations of the clusters of the aromatics and water molecule(s) were consistent with the experimental spectra of the aqueous solutions. Further, the results of the temperature-dependent experiments showed that the signal intensity in the low-frequency region below 50 cm-1 increased for all solutions with an increase in temperature. In contrast, the spectral density in the high-frequency region above 80 cm-1 exhibited almost no shift for the 1.0 M solutions, while a significant red shift was observed for the 5.0 M solutions. In addition, the temperature-dependent densities, viscosities, and surface tensions were characterized for the aqueous aromatic solutions from 293 to 353 K.

Abstract
We investigated the intermolecular dynamics and static structure in the aqueous solutions of lidocaine hydrochloride (LDHCl) in the concentration range of [LDHCl] = 0-2.00 M using femtosecond Raman-induced Kerr effect spectroscopy (fs-RIKES), small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SWAXS), and dynamic light scattering (DLS). For the fs-RIKES experiments, the concentration dependence of the difference low-frequency spectra of the aqueous LDHCl solutions relative to the neat water, which was mainly due to the intermolecular vibrations, was characterized using an exponential function with a characteristic concentration of ∼1 M. For the SWAXS experiments, we observed a manifestation of an excess scattering component centered within a range of 8-10 nm-1 in the aqueous LDHCl solutions. The results of Fourier inversion and further deconvolution analyses unambiguously demonstrated that lidocaines assemble into a nanometer-sized micelle-like structure with the innermost core (∼0.3 nm) and outer shell (∼0.5 nm), respectively. The DLS experiments also found nanometer-sized aggregates and further indicated evidence of the clusters of the aggregates. The results of viscosities, densities, and surface tensions of the solutions and the quantum chemistry calculations supported the unique features of the microscopic intermolecular interaction and the micelle-like aggregation.

Abstract
In recent times, ionic liquid-based (ILs) electrolytic system has emerged as suitable alternative to the conventional organic solvent-based electrolytic system. However, since, anion of ILs is known to form aggregates in the presence of lithium-ions (Li+), and this can influence the transport properties of Li+ ion in a significant manner, it is, therefore, important to understand how lithium-ions influence the structure and dynamics of ILs. With this objective, in the present study, intermolecular interaction, structural organization, and dynamics of monocationic ILs (MILs) and dicationic IL (DIL) have been studied in the absence and presence of lithium salt. Specifically, for this purpose, two MILs, 1-methyl-3-propylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([C3C1im][NTf2]), 1-hexyl-3-propylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([C6C1im][NTf2]), and a DIL, 1,6-bis(3-methylimidazolium-1-yl)hexane bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide ([C6(mim)2][NTf2]2) have been chosen in such a way that either the alkyl chain of MILs becomes equal or half of the spacer chain length of DIL. To understand the effect of the addition of lithium-ion on the structural organization of MILs and DIL, steady-state absorption and fluorescence spectroscopies, time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques have been used. Structural organization in the apolar and polar domains of ILs has been probed by following the rotational diffusion of suitably chosen solute in the concerned media through time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy (TRFA) measurements. TRFA studies have revealed that with the addition of Li+ ion, coordination between the Li+ ions and anions of MILs and DILs takes place in the ionic region leading to a change in the structural organization of the apolar regions of the respective medium. In fact, upon adding lithium-ions, a reduction in the packing of alkyl chains has also been observed for the MILs. However, not much change in the structural organization of the apolar region of the DIL has been observed when Li+ ion is added to it. In the presence of Li+ ions, a similar trend in the change of structural organization of polar regions for both MILs and DIL has been observed. Further, measurements of the self-diffusion coefficient through NMR have also supported the observation that Li+ ion also perturbs the nanostructural organization of the MIL in a significant manner than that it does for the DIL. The behavior of DIL in the presence of Li+ ion, as revealed by the present study, has been rationalized by considering the folded arrangement of DIL in the fluid-structure. Essentially, all of these investigations have suggested that the addition of lithium-ion significantly alters the microscopic behavior of MILs in comparison to that of DIL. The outcome of this study is expected to be helpful in realizing the potentials of these media as electrolytes in battery applications.

Abstract
This is the first report on low-frequency spectra of ionic liquid (IL)/polymer mixtures using femtosecond Raman-induced Kerr effect spectroscopy. We studied mixtures of 1-methyl-3-octylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([MOIm][BF4]) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) with Mn = 400 (PEG400) at various concentrations. To elucidate the unique features of the IL/polymer mixture system, mixtures of PEG400 with a molecular liquid, 1-octhylimidazole (OIm), which is a neutral analog of the cation, were also studied. In addition, mixtures of [MOIm][BF4] with ethylene glycol (EG) and poly(ethylene glycol) with Mn = 4000 (PEG4000) were also investigated. The first moments of broad low-frequency spectra, mainly due to intermolecular vibrations for the [MOIm][BF4]/PEG400 and OIm/PEG400, increased slightly with increasing concentration of PEG400, indicating that microscopic intermolecular interactions, in general, are slightly enhanced. We also compared the [MOIm][BF4] mixtures with EG, PEG400, and PEG4000 at concentrations of 5 and 10 wt % PEG or EG. The low-frequency spectra of samples with the same concentrations were quite similar, but a comparison of the normalized spectra showed that the spectral intensity in the low-frequency region below ∼50 cm-1 of the [MOIm][BF4] mixtures with PEG400 and PEG4000 is somewhat lower than that of the [MOIm][BF4] mixtures with EG. Although the effect of the polymer is small compared to other polymer solution systems, this feature is attributed to a suppression of translational motion in the mixtures of [MOIm][BF4] with PEG compared to the mixtures of [MOIm][BF4] with EG due to the greater mass of PEG than EG. Density, surface tension, viscosity, and electrical conductivity were also estimated. From Walden plots, it was found that the [MOIm][BF4]/PEG4000 system showed more ideal electrical conductive behavior than the [MOIm][BF4]/PEG400 and [MOIm][BF4]/EG systems.

Abstract
In this study, the low-frequency vibrational dynamics of polystyrene (PS) in CCl4 was investigated by femtosecond Raman-induced Kerr effect spectroscopy. Ethylbenzene (EBz) was also investigated as a model monomer of the polymer to elucidate the unique dynamical features of PS in solution. The broadened low-frequency spectrum of the PS/CCl4 in the frequency region below 150 cm-1 is significantly different from that of the EBz/CCl4. Difference spectra between the PS or EBz solutions and neat CCl4, normalized to an internal vibrational mode of CCl4, clearly show a much lower spectral intensity for the PS/CCl4 than the EBz/CCl4 in the low-frequency region below ca. 20 cm-1. This indicates that translational motions are suppressed in the PS/CCl4 compared to the EBz/CCl4. Moreover, the high-frequency motion at ca. 70 cm-1, mainly due to phenyl ring librations, occurs at higher frequency in PS (78 cm-1) than EBz (65 cm-1). In addition, the results of concentration-dependent experiments show that the first moment (M1) of the low-frequency difference spectra of both PS/CCl4 and EBz/CCl4 is almost independent of the concentration. The molecular weight dependence of the low-frequency spectrum in the PS/CCl4 shows that the M1 value of the low-frequency spectral band of PS shifts to higher frequencies when the molecular weight of PS increases up to Mw = ∼1000, which corresponds approximately to the decamer, and then remains constant upon further increasing the molecular weight.

Abstract
Dicationic ionic liquids (DILs) are a subclass of the ionic liquid (IL) family and are characterized by two cationic head groups linked by means of a spacer. While DILs are increasingly attracting interest due to their peculiar physico-chemical properties, there is still a lack of understanding of their intermolecular interactions. Herein, we report our investigations on the intermolecular vibrational modes of two bromide DILs and of a bistriflimide DIL. The minimal possible neutral cluster of ions was studied as a simplified model of these systems and was optimized at the DFT level. Normal modes of two sandwich-like conformers were then calculated using the harmonic approximation with analytical computation of the second derivatives of molecular energy with respect to the atomic coordinates. The calculated spectra were compared to far-infrared experimental spectra and two groups of peaks over three, for the two bromide DILs, and three over five, for the Tf2N− DIL, were described by the proposed neutral cluster model. Therefore, this model represents a reliable and computationally affordable model for the exploration of the intermolecular interactions of this kind of system. The minimal cluster of ions represents a reliable and computationally affordable model for the exploration of the intermolecular interactions of dicationic ionic liquids.![]()

Abstract
A comparative study of the intermolecular dynamics of CS2 in monocationic and dicationic ionic liquids (ILs) was performed using optical heterodyne-detected Raman-induced Kerr effect spectroscopy (OHD-RIKES). The reduced spectral densities (RSDs) of mixtures of CS2 in 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bis[(trifluoromethane)sulfonyl]amide ([CnC1im][NTf2] for n = 3-5) and 1,2n-bis(3-methylimidazolium-1-yl) alkane bis[(trifluoromethane)sulfonyl]amide ([(C1im)2C2n][NTf2]2 for n = 3-5) were investigated as a function of concentration at 295 K. An additivity model was used to obtain the CS2 contribution to the RSD of a mixture in the 0-200 cm-1 region. One of the aims of this study is to show how CS2 can be used as a probe of intermolecular/interionic interactions in ILs. The concentrations were chosen such that the CS2-to-imidazolium ring mole fraction of a mixture with [(C1im)2C2n][NTf2]2 (DIL(2n)) is the same as that of a mixture with [CnC1im][NTf2] (MIL(n)). As found previously for CS2 in monocationic ILs, the intermolecular spectrum of CS2 in dicationic ILs is lower in frequency and narrower than that of neat CS2. The new result is that the intermolecular spectrum of CS2 is higher in frequency in DIL(2n) than in the corresponding MIL(n), indicating that CS2 molecules experience a stiffer potential in dicationic ILs than in monocationic ILs. The intermolecular dynamics of CS2 being higher in frequency in DIL(2n) than in MIL(n) is consistent with recent molecular dynamics simulations (Lynden-Bell and Quitevis, J. Chem. Phys., 2018, 148, 193844) that show the stiffer potential is the result of greater confinement of CS2 in DIL(2n) than in MIL(n). We also show in this study how effects due to dilution and the intermolecular potential seen by a solute molecule in solution are unraveled.

Abstract
Room-temperature ionic liquids (ILs) composed of organic anions bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (TFSI), bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (FSI), and trifluoromethanesulfonate (OTf) exhibit interesting physical properties and are important for many electrochemical applications. TFSI and FSI form "hydrophobic" ILs, immiscible with water but miscible with many organic solvents and polymers; for computer simulation studies, it is thus essential to develop force fields for these anions that are transferable among this wide variety of chemical environments. In this work, we develop entirely ab initio force fields for the TFSI, FSI, and OTf anions and predict the properties of corresponding 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium ILs. We discuss important subtleties in the force field development related to accurately modeling conformational flexibility, that is, relaxed torsional profiles and intramolecular electrostatic interactions. The TFSI anions have notable conformational flexibility in the IL, and we predict approximately 70% cisoid and 20% transoid conformations, which is largely driven by cation/anion ion-pair interactions and is opposite to the trend expected from the anion ab initio potential energy surface. The favorable interactions between the cation and cisoid TFSI conformations result in a shoulder in the cation/anion radial distribution function at short distances, whereas interconversion between cisoid and transoid conformations occurs on a commensurate time scale as ion diffusion processes. In addition to this physical insight on anion effects, we expect that these force fields will have important applications for studying a variety of complex electrolyte systems.

Abstract
In the present study, the structure and dynamics of three dicationic ionic liquids (DILs) with a functional amide group in the imidazolium ring with bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, [TFSI]- anion has been studied by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Densities, radial distribution functions (RDFs), combined distribution functions (CDFs), spatial distribution functions, mean-square displacements (MSD), and self-diffusivities for the ions have been calculated from the MD simulations. The calculated densities for [C4(amim)2][TFSI]2 at different temperatures agreed well with the experimental values. The calculated RDFs and CDFs show that the anions are well organized around the amide group and imidazolium rings and the favorite sites of interaction of the [TFSI]- ion are the hydrogen atoms of the amide group and hydrogen atoms of the imidazolium ring of the cation. The calculated MSDs indicated that the diffusion coefficients of the studied DILs are 1 order of magnitude smaller than those of DILs with a comparable molar mass.

Abstract
Gigahertz- to terahertz-frequency infrared and Raman spectra contain a wealth of information concerning the structure, intermolecular forces, and dynamics of ionic liquids. However, these spectra generally have a large number of contributions ranging from slow diffusional modes to underdamped librations and intramolecular vibrational modes. This makes it difficult to isolate effects such as the role of Coulombic and hydrogen-bonding interactions. We have applied far-infrared and ultrafast optical Kerr effect spectroscopies on carefully selected ions with a greater or lesser degree of symmetry in order to isolate spectral signals of interest. This has allowed us to demonstrate the presence of longitudinal and transverse optical phonon modes and a great similarity of alkylammonium-based protic ionic liquids to liquid water. The data show that such phonon modes will be present in all ionic liquids, requiring a reinterpretation of their spectra.

Abstract
This article describes a comparative study of the low-frequency (0-450 cm-1) Kerr spectra of the branched 1-(iso-alkyl)-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide ([(N - 2)mCN-1C1im][NTf2] with N = 3-7) ionic liquids (ILs) and that of the linear 1-(n-alkyl)-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide ([CNC1im][NTf2] with N = 2-7) ILs. The spectra were obtained by use of femtosecond optical heterodyne-detected Raman-induced Kerr effect spectroscopy (OHD-RIKES). The intermolecular spectrum of a branched IL is similar to that of a linear IL that is of the same alkyl chain length rather than of the same number of carbon atoms in the alkyl chain. This similarity and the lack of a correlation of the first spectral moments and widths of the intermolecular spectra with chain length is mainly attributed to the increase in the dispersion contribution to the total molar cohesive energy being compensated by stretching of the ionic network due to the increasing size of the nonpolar domains, which is dependent only on the length of the alkyl chain.
