Abstract
Concentrated acid solutions, particularly HCl, have been studied extensively to examine the proton hopping and infrared spectral signatures of hydronium ions. Much less attention has been given to the structural dynamics of concentrated HCl solutions. Here, we apply optical heterodyne detected-optical Kerr effect (OHD-OKE) measurements to examine HCl concentration-dependent dynamics from moderate (0.8 m) to very high (15.5 m) concentrations and compare the results to the dynamics of NaCl solutions, as Na+ is similar in size to the hydronium cation. Both HCl and NaCl OHD-OKE signals decay as triexponentials at all concentrations, in contrast to pure water, which decays as a biexponential. Two remarkable features of the HCl dynamics are the following: (1) the bulk viscosity is linearly related to the slowest decay constant, t3, and (2) the concentration-dependent proton hopping times, determined by ab initio MD simulations and 2D IR chemical exchange experiments, both obtained from the literature, fall on the same line as the slowest structural dynamics relaxation time, t3, within experimental error. The structural dynamics of hydronium/chloride/water clusters, with relaxation times t3, are responsible for the concentration dependence of microscopic property of proton hopping and the macroscopic bulk viscosity. The slowest time constant (t3), which does not have a counterpart in pure water, is 3 ps at 0.8 m and increases by a factor of ∼2 by 15.5 m. The two fastest HCl decay constants, t1 and t2, are similar to those of pure water and increase mildly with the concentration.

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
We present a numerical investigation of the influence of water content on the dynamic properties of a family of phosphonium-based room-temperature ionic liquids. The study presents a compelling correlation between structural changes in water-ionic liquid solutions and thermodynamic and transport properties across diverse systems. The results for phosphonium ionic liquids are compared with 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexaphosphate ([bmim]PF6) as a reference. Through this approach, phosphonium cation structure-related characteristics can be identified and placed within the broader context of ionic liquids. These insights are underpinned by observed changes in interaction energy, boiling point, diffusion rate, and viscosity, highlighting the crucial role of water molecules in weakening the strength of interactions between ions within the ionic liquid. The investigation also explains temperature-dependent trends in phosphonium cations, showing that alkyl group length and molecular symmetry are important tuning parameters for the strength of Coulomb interactions. These results contribute to a refined understanding of phosphonium ionic liquid behavior in the presence of water, offering valuable insights for optimizing their use in diverse fields.

Abstract
We conducted a study on the photophysics of three indoline dyes, D102, D149, and D205, in binary mixtures of ionic liquids (IL) and polar aprotic molecular solvents (MS). Specifically, we examined the behavior of these dyes in IL-MS mixtures containing four different imidazolium-based ILs and three different polar aprotic MSs. Our investigation involved several techniques, including stationary absorption and emission measurements, as well as femtosecond transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy. Through our analysis, we discovered a peculiar behavior of several photophysical properties at low IL mole fractions (0 < XIL < 0.2). Indeed, in this range of mixture composition, the absorption maximum wavelength decreases noticeably, while the emission maximum wavelength and the Stokes shift, expressed in wavenumbers, reach a maximum. while a minimum occurs in the relative quantum yield and the excited state lifetime. These results indicate that the solvation of dye undergoes a large change in this range of mixture composition. We found that, at high ionic liquid content, the excited relaxation times are correlated with the high viscosity, while at low content, it is the polarity of the solvent that influences the behavior of the excited relaxation times. At a mixture composition of around 0.10, the behavior of the photophysical properties of the studied IL-MS mixtures indicates a crossover between situations where the solvation is dominated by that of ions and that dominated by the solvent.

Abstract
We present concentration-dependent dynamics of highly concentrated LiBr solutions and LiCl temperature-dependent dynamics for two high concentrations and compare the results to those of prior LiCl concentration-dependent data. The dynamical data are obtained using ultrafast optical heterodyne-detected optical Kerr effect (OHD-OKE). The OHD-OKE decays are composed of two pairs of biexponentials, i.e., tetra-exponentials. The fastest decay (t1) is the same as pure water's at all concentrations within error, while the second component (t2) slows slightly with concentration. The slower components (t3 and t4), not present in pure water, slow substantially, and their contributions to the decays increase significantly with increasing concentration, similar to LiCl solutions. Simulations of LiCl solutions from the literature show that the slow components arise from large ion/water clusters, while the fast components are from ion/water structures that are not part of large clusters. Temperature-dependent studies (15-95 °C) of two high LiCl concentrations show that decreasing the temperature is equivalent to increasing the room temperature concentration. The LiBr and LiCl concentration dependences and the two LiCl concentrations' temperature dependences all have bulk viscosities that are linearly dependent on τcslow, the correlation time of the slow dynamics (weighted averages of t3 and t4). Remarkably, all four viscosity vs 1/τCslow plots fall on the same line. Application of transition state theory to the temperature-dependent data yields the activation enthalpies and entropies for the dynamics of the large ion/water clusters, which underpin the bulk viscosity.

Abstract
The vibrational signatures and ultrafast dynamics of the intramolecular H-bond in a series of β-diketones are investigated with 2D IR spectroscopy and computational modeling. The chosen β-diketones exhibit a range of H atom donor-acceptor distances and asymmetry along the H atom transfer coordinate that tunes the intramolecular H-bond strength. The species with the strongest H-bonds are calculated to have very soft H atom potentials, resulting in highly red-shifted OH stretch fundamental frequencies and dislocation of the H atom upon vibrational excitation. These soft potentials lead to significant coupling to the other normal mode coordinates and give rise to the very broad vibrational signatures observed experimentally. The 2D IR spectra in both the OH and OD stretch regions of the light and deuterated isotopologues reveal broadened and long-lived ground-state bleach signatures of the vibrationally hot molecules. Polarization-sensitive transient absorption measurements in the OH and OD stretch regions reveal notable isotopic differences in orientational dynamics. Orientational relaxation was measured to occur on ∼600 fs and ∼2 ps time scales for the light and deuterated isotopologues, respectively. The orientational dynamics are interpreted in terms of activated H/D atom transfer events driven by collective intramolecular structural rearrangements.

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
We report the dynamics of concentrated lithium chloride aqueous solutions over a range of moderate to high concentrations. Concentrations (1-29 to 1-3.3 LiCl-water) were studied in which, at the highest concentrations, there are far too few water molecules to solvate the ions. The measurements were made with optically heterodyne-detected optical Kerr effect experiments, a non-resonant technique able to observe dynamics over a wide range of time scales and signal amplitudes. While the pure water decay is a biexponential, the LiCl-water decays are tetra-exponentials at all concentrations. The faster two decays arise from water dynamics, while the slower two decays reflect the dynamics of the ion-water network. The fastest decay (t1) is the same as pure water at all concentrations. The second decay (t2) is also the same as that of pure water at the lower concentrations, and then, it slows with increasing concentration. The slower dynamics (t3 and t4), which do not have counterparts in pure water, arise from ion-water complexes and, at the highest concentrations, an extended ion-water network. Comparisons are made between the concentration dependence of the observed dynamics and simulations of structural changes from the literature, which enable the assignment of dynamics to specific ion-water structures. The concentration dependences of the bulk viscosity and the ion-water network dynamics are directly correlated. The correlation provides an atomistic-level understanding of the viscosity.

Abstract
The ultrafast dynamics of acrylamide monomers (AAm), polyacrylamide (PAAm), and polyacrylamide hydrogels (PAAm-HG) in water were studied using optical heterodyne-detected optical Kerr effect (OHD-OKE) spectroscopy. Previous ultrafast infrared (IR) measurements of the water dynamics showed that at the same concentration of the acrylamide moiety, AAm, PAAm, and PAAm-HG exhibited identical water dynamics and that these dynamics slowed with increasing concentration. In contrast to the IR measurements, OHD-OKE experiments measure the dynamics of both the water and the acrylamide species, which occur on different time scales. In this study, the dynamics of all the acrylamide systems slowed with increasing concentration. We found that AAm exhibits tetraexponential decays, the longest component of which followed Debye-Stokes-Einstein behavior except for the highest concentration, 40% (w/v). Low concentrations of PAAm followed a single power law decay, while high concentrations of PAAm and all concentrations of PAAm-HG decayed with two power laws. The highest concentrations, 25% and 40%, of PAAm and PAAm-HG showed nearly identical dynamics. We interpreted this result as reflecting a similar extent of chain-chain interactions. At low concentrations, PAAm displays non-Markovian, single-chain dynamics (single power law), but PAAm displays entangled chain-chain interactions at high concentrations (two power laws). PAAm-HG has chain-chain interactions at all concentrations that arise from the cross-linking. At high concentrations, the dynamics of the entangled of PAAm become identical within error as those of the cross-linked PAAm-HG.

Abstract
Clarification of the water-induced structural transitions and electron transfer between ionic liquids (ILs) and a solid surface allows for establishing a unified view of the electrical properties of interfacial ILs via a hitherto unexplored pathway. Here, we propose a simple and effective method to quantitatively identify and extract the transferred electrons between ILs and a solid surface, while demonstrating the critical structural transition of interfacial ILs from ordered stripe structures to disordered aggregation structures. The formation of hydrated anions, rooted in the hydrogen bonds of O-H···O between the anion and water, lies at the tipping point where electron transfer ends and aggregation structure begins. In addition, it is discovered to what extent the hydrophilicity of substrates can affect electron transfer, and a regulation method based on the electric field is explored. These experimental findings may refresh our knowledge of interfacial ILs and provide an effective method for evaluating the intrinsic electrical features of the ILs-solid surface.

Abstract
We have monitored the impacts of an increment in the alkyl chain length of the imidazolium-based tetrafluoroborate ionic liquids on the local deuteroxyl probe modes of interest. For this study, we have taken 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [EMIm][BF4], 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [BMIm][BF4], 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [OMIm][BF4], and 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [DMIm][BF4] ionic liquid solutions with 5% HOD in H2O as the vibrational reporter of the associated ultrafast system dynamics. Classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were employed to determine molecular structure and dynamic properties, while the spectral profiles were derived by applying the wavelet analysis of classical trajectories. Spatial distribution functions reveal the heterogeneity within the molecular structures of the ionic liquids (ILs) with varying alkyl chain lengths. The intense position of the spectral peak, the frequency corresponding to the shoulder peak, and the spectral linewidth of the O-D stretch distribution are not influenced by the increment in the cationic chain length. In addition, the ionic liquid (IL) [BMIm][BF4] exhibits a notable trend; the dynamic timescales are longer than the other studied systems. Therefore, we have performed the Voronoi decomposition analysis of the ionic and the polar-apolar domains, symmetrically increasing the length of alkyl chains on the IL cations. Domain analysis reveals structural microheterogeneity; the anions form discrete domains, and the ionic liquid constituting cations form continuous domains irrespective of the alkyl chain length on the imidazolium cations. Therefore, this computational ultrafast spectroscopy study aids in forming a molecular-level picture of the ionic liquid cations and anions in the liquid phase, providing a detailed interpretation of the spectral properties of the probe stretching vibrations.

Abstract
Molecular vibrational spectroscopy is widely used in various sensing and imaging applications, providing intrinsic information at the molecular level. Nonlinear optical interactions using ultrashort laser pulses facilitate the selective coherent excitation of molecular vibrational modes by focusing energy into specific molecular bonds, boosting the signal level for multiple orders of magnitude. The dephasing of such coherence, which is susceptible to the local molecular environment, however, is often neglected. The unique capability of vibrational dephasing dynamics to serve as a unique probe for complex molecular interactions and the effect of local nano- and microenvironments are beyond the reach of conventional, intensity-based spectroscopy. Here, we developed a novel multiorder coherent Raman spectroscopy platform with a special focus on the temporal evolution of molecular vibrational dephasing, termed as time-resolved coherent Raman scattering (T-CRS) spectroscopy. By utilizing a high dynamic range detection, molecular vibrational dynamics and the environmental effects are demonstrated with multidimensional spectroscopic sensing, which promises a new range of applications in biology, materials, and chemical sciences.

Abstract
Acetylacetone (AcAc) has proven to be a fruitful but highly challenging model system for the experimental and computational interrogation of strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Key questions remain, however, regarding the identity of the minimum-energy structure of AcAc and the dynamics of intramolecular proton transfer. Here, we investigate the OH/OD stretch and bend regions of the enol tautomer of AcAc and its deuterated isotopologue with transient absorption and 2D IR spectroscopy. The OH bend region reveals a single dominant diagonal transition near 1625 cm-1 with intense cross peaks to lower-frequency modes, demonstrating highly mixed fingerprint transitions that contain OH bend character. The anharmonic coupling of the OH bend results in a highly elongated OH bend excited-state absorption transition that indicates a large manifold of OH bend overtone/combination bands in the OH stretch region that leads to strong bend-stretch Fermi resonance interactions. The OH and OD stretch regions consist of broad ground-state bleach signals, but there is no clear evidence of ω21 excited-state absorptions due to rapid population relaxation arising from strong intramolecular coupling to bending, fingerprint, and low-frequency H-bond modes. Orientational relaxation dynamics persist for timescales longer than the vibrational lifetimes, with polarization anisotropy components decaying within approximately 2 and 10 periods of the O-O oscillation for the OH and OD stretch, respectively. The significant isotopic dependence of the orientational dynamics is discussed in the context of intramolecular mode coupling, diffusional processes, and contributions from proton/deuteron transfer dynamics.

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.

Peek Inside the Water Mixtures of Ionic Liquids at Molecular Level: Microscopic Properties Probed by EPR Spectroscopy. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms222111900.

Abstract
Many ionic liquids (ILs) can be mixed with water, forming either true solutions or emulsions. This favors their applications in many respects, but at the same time might strongly alter their physicochemical properties. A number of methods exist for studying the macroscopic properties of such mixtures, whereas understanding their characteristics at micro/nanoscale is rather challenging. In this work we investigate microscopic properties, such as viscosity and local structuring, in binary water mixtures of IL [Bmim]BF4 in liquid and glassy states. For this sake, we use continuous wave and pulse electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy with dedicated spin probes, located preferably in IL-rich domains or distributed in IL- and water-rich domains. We demonstrate that the glassy-state nanostructuring of IL-rich domains is very similar to that in neat ILs. At the same time, in liquid state the residual water makes local viscosity in IL-rich domains noticeably different compared to neat ILs, even though the overwhelming amount of water is contained in water-rich domains. These results have to be taken into account in various applications of IL-water mixtures, especially in those cases demanding the combinations of optimum micro- and macroscopic characteristics.

Abstract
Here we present a theory of ion aggregation and gelation of room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs). Based on it, we investigate the effect of ion aggregation on correlated ion transport-ionic conductivity and transference numbers-obtaining closed-form expressions for these quantities. The theory depends on the maximum number of associations a cation and anion can form and the strength of their association. To validate the presented theory, we perform molecular dynamics simulations on several RTILs and a range of temperatures for one RTIL. The simulations indicate the formation of large clusters, even percolating through the system under certain circumstances, thus forming a gel, with the theory accurately describing the obtained cluster distributions in all cases. However, based on the strength and lifetime of associations in the simulated RTILs, we expect free ions to dominate ionic conductivity despite the presence of clusters, and we do not expect the percolating cluster to trigger structural arrest in the RTIL.

Abstract
Molecular dynamics simulations with many-body polarizable force fields were carried out to investigate the thermodynamic, structural, and dynamic properties of aqueous solutions of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim][BF4]). The radial distribution functions exhibit well-defined features, revealing favored structural correlations between [bmim]+, [BF4]-, and H2O. The addition of water is shown to alter ionic liquid structural organizations by replacing counterions in the coordination shells and disrupt the cation-anion network. At low water concentration, the majority of water molecules are isolated from each other and have lower average dipole moment than that in pure water. With increasing hydration level, while [bmim][BF4] ionic network breaks up and becomes isolated ion pairs or free ions in the dilute limit, water begins to form clusters of increasing sizes and eventually forms a percolating network. As a result, the average water dipole moment increases and approaches its bulk value. Water is also observed to have a substantial influence on the dynamics of ionic liquids. At low water content, the cation and anion have similar diffusion coefficients due to the correlated ionic motion of long-lived ion pairs. As the water concentration increases, both ions exhibit greater mobility and faster rotations from the breakup of ionic network. Consequently, the ionic conductivity of [bmim][BF4] aqueous solutions rises with increasing water composition.

Abstract
Photoexcitation of (neat) room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) leads to the observation of transient species that are reminiscent of the composition of the RTILs themselves. In this minireview, we summarize state-of-the-art in the understanding of the underlying elementary processes. By varying the anion or cation, one aim is to generally predict radiation-induced chemistry and physics of RTILs. One major task is to address the fate of excess electrons (and holes) after photoexcitation, which implies an overview of various formation mechanisms considering structural and dynamical aspects. Therefore, transient studies on time scales from femtoseconds to microseconds can greatly help to elucidate the most relevant steps after photoexcitation. Sometimes, radiation may eventually result in destruction of the RTILs making photostability another important issue to be discussed. Finally, characteristic heterogeneities can be associated with specific physicochemical properties. Influencing these properties by adding conventional solvents, like water, can open a wide field of application, which is briefly summarized.

Abstract
We have performed the measurements of the optical Kerr effect signal time evolution up to 4 ns for a mixture of 1-alkyl-3-methyl-imidazolium hexafluorophosphate (BMIM PF6) ionic liquid and acetonitrile in the whole mole fractions range. The long delay line in our experimental setup allowed us to capture the complete reorientational dynamics of the ionic liquid. We have analysed the optical Kerr effect signal in the time and frequency domains with help of molecular dynamics simulations. In our approximation of the slow picosecond dynamics with a multi-exponential decay, we distinguish three relaxation times. The highest two are assigned to the reorientation of the cation and acetonitrile molecules that are in the vicinity of the imidazolium ring. The third one is recognized as originating from cation rotations and reorientation of acetonitrile molecules in the bulk or in the vicinity of the aliphatic chains of the cation. With help of the simulation we interpret the intermolecular band in the reduced spectral density, obtained from Kerr signal, as follows: its low-frequency side results from oscillations of one of the components in the cage formed by its neighbors, while the high-frequency side is attributed to the librations of the cation and acetonitrile molecule as well as the intermolecular oscillations of system components involved in specific interactions. We use this assignment and concentration dependence of the spectra obtained from velocity and angular velocity correlations to explain the mole fraction dependence of Kerr reduced spectral density.

Abstract
Considering the growing number of applications of the aqueous ionic liquids (ILs), atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were used to probe the effect of water molar fraction, xw, ranging from 0.00 to 0.90, on the nanoscale local structure of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium nitrate, [bmim][NO3], IL. The results prove that, with water addition, the cation-anion, cation-cation, and anion-anion structural correlations are weakened, while strong anion-water and unconventional cation-water hydrogen bonds are formed in the solutions. Water molecules were detected as bridges between nitrate anions, and the water cluster size distribution at different xw's was investigated. Simulation shows a similar pattern of probability densities for water and anion around the acidic hydrogen atoms of the reference cation ring, while both species move away from the cation butyl chain. Increasing the water concentration to xw = 0.90 causes decreasing of the local arrangement of the nearest-neighboring cations, because of the weakening of cation-cation π-π stacking. In addition, this dilution reduces the probability of the in-plane cation-anion conformation, disrupts both the polar ionic network and nonpolar domains, and diminishes the nanoaggregation of the cation butyl chains compared to those of the neat IL. These results can rationalize the origins of the fluidity enhancements and transport property trends upon adding water to the imidazolium-based ILs. The current study proposes a deep atomistic-level insight into the complex coupling between water concentration, microscopic structure, and local interactions of aqueous imidazolium-based ILs with hydrophilic anions.

Abstract
Understanding ionic structure and electrostatic environments near a surface has both fundamental and practical value. In electrochemistry, especially when room temperature ionic liquids (ILs) are involved, the complex ionic structure near the interface is expected to crucially influence reactions. Here we report evidence that even in dilute aqueous solutions of several ILs, the ions aggregate near the surface in ways that are qualitatively different from simple electrolytes. We have used a vibrational probe molecule, 4-mercaptobenzonitrile (MBN), tethered to a metal surface to monitor the behavior of the ionic layers. The characteristic nitrile vibrational frequency of this molecule has distinct values in the presence of pure water (∼2232 cm-1) and pure IL (for example, ∼2226 cm-1 for ethylmethylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, [EMIM][BF4]). This difference reflects the local electrostatic field and the hydrogen-bonding variations between these two limiting cases. We tracked this frequency shift as a function of IL concentration in water all the way from pure water to pure IL. We report two important findings. First, only one nitrile peak is observed for the entire concentration range, indicating that at least on the length scale of the probe molecule water and ILs do not phase separate within the interface, and no heterogeneously distinct electrostatic environments are formed. Second, and more importantly, we find that even up to a significant mole fraction of bulk water (x ∼ 0.95), the nitrile frequency does not change from that indicative of a pure IL for [EMIM][BF4], indicating preferential aggregation of the ions near the surface. Because this behavior is very similar to surfactants, we chose an imidazolium cation with a longer side chain which resulted in behavior expected from a surfactant, with a preferential layer of the ions on the surface even in dilute water solutions (x ∼ 0.995). This observation indicates that even those ILs that are not nominally categorized as surfactants have a strong tendency to aggregate at the surface. Because ILs serve as electrolytes in a range of electrochemical reactions, including those requiring water, our results are likely useful for mechanistic understanding and tuning of such reactions.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) are a special category of molten salts solely composed of ions with varied molecular symmetry and charge delocalization. The versatility in combining varied cation-anion moieties and in functionalizing ions with different atoms and molecular groups contributes to their peculiar interactions ranging from weak isotropic associations to strong, specific, and anisotropic forces. A delicate interplay among intra- and intermolecular interactions facilitates the formation of heterogeneous microstructures and liquid morphologies, which further contributes to their striking dynamical properties. Microstructural and dynamical heterogeneities of ILs lead to their multifaceted properties described by an inherent designer feature, which makes ILs important candidates for novel solvents, electrolytes, and functional materials in academia and industrial applications. Due to a massive number of combinations of ion pairs with ion species having distinct molecular structures and IL mixtures containing varied molecular solvents, a comprehensive understanding of their hierarchical structural and dynamical quantities is of great significance for a rational selection of ILs with appropriate properties and thereafter advancing their macroscopic functionalities in applications. In this review, we comprehensively trace recent advances in understanding delicate interplay of strong and weak interactions that underpin their complex phase behaviors with a particular emphasis on understanding heterogeneous microstructures and dynamics of ILs in bulk liquids, in mixtures with cosolvents, and in interfacial regions.

Abstract
In recent years, interest in carbon capture and sequestration has led to numerous investigations of the ability of ionic liquids to act as recyclable CO2-sorbent materials. Herein, we investigate the structure and dynamics of a model physisorbing ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([C4C1Im][PF6]), from the perspective of CO2 using two-dimensional (2D) IR spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulations. A direct comparison of experimentally measured and calculated 2D IR line shapes confirms the validity of the simulations and spectroscopic calculations. Taken together, the simulations and experiments reveal new insights into the interactions of a CO2 solute with the surrounding ionic liquid and how these interactions manifest in the 2D IR spectra. In particular, higher CO2 asymmetric stretch vibrational frequencies are associated with softer, less populated solvent cages and lower frequencies are associated with tighter, more highly populated solvent cages. The CO2 interacts most strongly with the anions, and these interactions persist for more than 1 ns. The second strongest interactions are with the imidazolium cation ring that last 100 ps, and the weakest interactions are with the cation butyl tail that persist for 10 ps. The principal contributors to spectral diffusion of the CO2 asymmetric stretch vibrational frequency due to the dynamical evolution of the solvent are through Lennard-Jones interactions at short times and electrostatics at long times.

Abstract
Inorganic and organic "solvent-in-salt" (SIS) systems have been known for decades but have attracted significant attention only recently. Molten salt hydrates/solvates have been successfully employed as non-flammable, benign electrolytes in rechargeable lithium-ion batteries leading to a revolution in battery development and design. SIS with organic components (for example, ionic liquids containing small amounts of water) demonstrate remarkable thermal stability and tunability, and present a class of admittedly safer electrolytes, in comparison with traditional organic solvents. Water molecules tend to form nano- and microstructures (droplets and channel networks) in ionic media impacting their heterogeneity. Such microscale domains can be employed as microreactors for chemical and enzymatic synthesis. In this review, we address known SIS systems and discuss their composition, structure, properties and dynamics. Special attention is paid to the current and potential applications of inorganic and organic SIS systems in energy research, chemistry and biochemistry. A separate section of this review is dedicated to experimental methods of SIS investigation, which is crucial for the development of this field.

Abstract
We explore the influence of the solvent dipole moment on cation-anion interactions and transport in 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl), [BMIM+][Tf2N-]. Free energy profiles derived from atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations show a correlation of the cation-anion separation and the equilibrium depth of the potential of mean force with the dipole moment of the solvent. Correlations of the ion diffusivity with the dipole moment and the concentration of the solvent were further demonstrated by classical MD simulations. Quasi-elastic neutron scattering experiments with deuterated solvents reveal a complex picture of nanophase separation into the ionic liquid-rich and solvent-rich phases. The experiment corroborates the trend of concentration- and dipole moment-dependent enhancement of ion mobility by the solvent, as suggested by the simulations. Despite the considerable structural complexity of ionic liquid-solvent mixtures, we can rationalize and generalize the trends governing ionic transport in these complex electrolytes.
