Abstract
In-depth insights into the oligomers of carbon dots (CDs) prepared from small-molecule precursors are important in the study of the carbonization mechanism of CDs and for our knowledge of their complex structure. Herein, citric acid (CA) and ethylenediamine (EDA) were used as small-molecule precursors to prepare CDs in an aqueous solution. The structure of oligomers acquired from CA and EDA in different molar ratios and their formation process were first studied using density functional theory, including the dispersion correction (DFT-D3) method. The results showed that the energy barrier of dimer cyclization was higher than that of its linear polymerization, but the free energy of the cyclized product was much lower than that of its reactant, and IPCA (5-oxo-1,-2,3,5-tetrahydroimidazo [1,2-a]pyridine-7-carboxylic acid) could therefore be obtained under certain conditions. The oligomers obtained from different molar ratios of EDA and CA were molecular clusters formed by short polyamide chains through intermolecular forces; with the exception of when the molar ratio of EDA to CA was 0.5, excessive CA did not undergo an amidation reaction but rather attained molecular clusters directly through intermolecular forces. These oligomers exhibited significant differences in their surface functional groups, which would affect the carbonization process and the surface structure of CDs.

Abstract
Intermolecular interactions determine whether matter sticks together, gases condense into liquids, or liquids freeze into solids. The most prominent example is hydrogen bonding in water, responsible for the anomalous properties in the liquid phase and polymorphism in ice. The physical properties are also exceptional for ionic liquids (ILs), wherein a delicate balance of Coulomb interactions, hydrogen bonds, and dispersion interactions results in a broad liquid range and the vaporization of ILs as ion pairs. In this study, we show that strong, local, and directional hydrogen bonds govern the structures and arrangements in the solid, liquid, and gaseous phases of carboxyl-functionalized ILs. For that purpose, we explored the H-bonded motifs by X-ray diffraction and attenuated total reflection (ATR) infrared (IR) spectroscopy in the solid state, by ATR and transmission IR spectroscopy in the liquid phase, and by cryogenic ion vibrational predissociation spectroscopy (CIVPS) in the gaseous phase at low temperature. The analysis of the CO stretching bands reveals doubly hydrogen-bonded cationic dimers (c═c), resembling the archetype H-bond motif known for carboxylic acids. The like-charge doubly hydrogen-bonded ion pairs are present in the crystal structure of the IL, survive phase transition into the liquid state, and are still present in the gaseous phase even in (2,1) complexes wherein one counterion is removed and repulsive Coulomb interaction increased. The interpretation of the vibrational spectra is supported by quantum chemical methods. These observations have implications for the fundamental nature of the hydrogen bond between ions of like charge.

Abstract
Hydroxy functionalization of cations in ionic liquids (ILs) can lead to formation of hydrogen bonds between their OH groups, resulting in so-called (c-c) H-bonds. Thereby, the (c-c) H-bonds compete with regular H-bonds (c-a) between the OH groups and the anions. Polarizable cations, weakly interacting anions, and long alkyl chains at the cation support the propensity for the formation of (c-c) H-bonds. At low temperatures, the equilibrium between (c-c) and (c-a) H-bonds is strongly shifted in favor of the cation-cation interaction. Herein, we clarify the pressure dependence on (c-c) and (c-a) H-bond distributions in the IL 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [HOC2C1Im][PF6], in mixtures of [HOC2C1Im][PF6] with the nonhydroxy-functionalized IL 1-propyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [C3C1Im][PF6] and in [HOC2C1Im][PF6] including trace amounts of water. The infrared (IR) spectra provide clear evidence that the (c-c) H-bonds diminish with increasing pressure in favor of the (c-a) H-bonds. Adding trace amounts of water results in enhanced (c-c) clustering due to cooperative effects. At ambient pressure, the water molecules are involved in the (c-c) H-bond motifs. Increasing pressure leads to squeezing them out of H-bond clusters, finally resulting in demixing of water and the IL at the microscopic level.

Abstract
We show that the carboxyl-functionalized ionic liquid 1-(carboxymethyl)pyridinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide [HOOC-CH2 -py][NTf2 ] exhibits three types of hydrogen bonding: the expected single hydrogen bonds between cation and anion, and, surprisingly, single and double hydrogen bonds between the cations, despite the repulsive Coulomb forces between the ions of like charge. Combining X-ray crystallography, differential scanning calorimetry, IR spectroscopy, thermodynamic methods and DFT calculations allows the analysis and characterization of all types of hydrogen bonding present in the solid, liquid and gaseous states of the ionic liquid (IL). We find doubly hydrogen bonded cationic dimers (c+ =c+ ) in the crystalline phase. With increasing temperature, this binding motif opens in the liquid and is replaced by (c+ -c+ -a- species, with a remaining single cationic hydrogen bond and an additional hydrogen bond between cation and anion. We provide clear evidence that the IL evaporates as hydrogen-bonded ion pairs (c+ -a- ) into the gas phase. The measured transition enthalpies allow the noncovalent interactions to be dissected and the hydrogen bond strength between ions of like charge to be determined.

Abstract
With the aim of understanding the differences in the behavior of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) and room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) in terms of their structure, dynamics, and intra- and intermolecular interactions, three different ILs and one DES having similar functionalities (hydroxyl) have been investigated by using both ensembled average and single-molecule spectroscopic techniques. Specifically, for this purpose, a choline chloride based DES (ethaline) and three hydroxyl functionalized ILs (1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-3-imidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ([OHEMIM][NTF2]), N-(2-hydroxyl ethyl)-N-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ([OHEMPy][NTf2]), and N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N,N-dimethylpropan-1-aminium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ([OHC3CH][NTf2])) are employed and investigated by EPR, time-resolved fluorescence, NMR and FCS studies. Estimation of polarity through EPR spectroscopy has revealed that the hydroxyl ILs employed in these studies are hyper-polar (close to water) in nature, whereas the polarity of the DES is found to be close to those of aliphatic polyhydroxy-alcohols. Interestingly, both time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy and FCS studies on these systems have suggested that the hydroxyl ILs are more dynamically heterogeneous than the DES. More interestingly, PFG-NMR measurements have indicated that the fluid structure of ethaline is relatively more associated as compared to those of the ILs despite the fact that all the cations have the same hydroxyl functionalities. All these investigations have essentially demonstrated that, despite having similar functionalities, both the DES and hydroxyl ILs employed in the present study exhibit microscopic behaviours that are significantly different from each other, indicating the interplay of various intermolecular interactions within the constituent species in governing the behaviours of these solvent systems.

Abstract
The structure of water, especially around the solute is thought to play an important role in many biological and chemical processes. Water-peptide and cosolvent-peptide interactions are crucial in determining the structure and function of protein molecules. In this work, we present the H-bonding analysis for model peptides like glycyl-glycine (gly-gly), glycine-ւ-valine (gly-val), glycyl-ւ-leucine (gly-leu) and triglycine (trigly) and triethylammonium based carboxylate protic ionic liquids (PILs) in aqueous solutions as well as for peptides in ∼0.2 mol·L-1 of aqueous PIL solutions in the spectral range of 7800-5500 cm-1 using Fourier transform near-infrared (FT-NIR) spectroscopy at 298.15 K. The hydration numbers for peptides and PILs were obtained using NIR method of simultaneous estimation of hydration spectrum and hydration number of a solute dissolved in water. The H-bond of water molecules around peptides and PILs are found to be stronger and shorter than those in pure liquid water. We observe that the hydration shell around zwitterions is a clathrate-like cluster of water in which ions entrap. Watery network analysis confirms that singly H-bonded species or NHBs changes to partial or distorted ice-like structures of water in the hydration shell of PILs. The overall water H-bonding in the hydration sphere of PILs increases in the order TEAF < TEAA < TEAG < TEAPy ≈ TEAP < TEAB. The influence of PILs on hydration behavior of peptides is explored in terms of H-bonding, cooperativity, hydrophobicity, water structural changes, ionic interactions etc.

Thermodynamically Stable Cationic Dimers in Carboxyl-Functionalized Ionic Liquids: The Paradoxical Case of "Anti-Electrostatic" Hydrogen Bonding. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27020366.

Abstract
We show that carboxyl-functionalized ionic liquids (ILs) form doubly hydrogen-bonded cationic dimers (c+=c+) despite the repulsive forces between ions of like charge and competing hydrogen bonds between cation and anion (c+–a−). This structural motif as known for formic acid, the archetype of double hydrogen bridges, is present in the solid state of the IL 1−(carboxymethyl)pyridinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide [HOOC−CH2−py][NTf2]. By means of quantum chemical calculations, we explored different hydrogen-bonded isomers of neutral (HOOC–(CH2)n–py+)2(NTf2−)2, single-charged (HOOC–(CH2)n–py+)2(NTf2−), and double-charged (HOOC– (CH2)n−py+)2 complexes for demonstrating the paradoxical case of “anti-electrostatic” hydrogen bonding (AEHB) between ions of like charge. For the pure doubly hydrogen-bonded cationic dimers (HOOC– (CH2)n−py+)2, we report robust kinetic stability for n = 1–4. At n = 5, hydrogen bonding and dispersion fully compensate for the repulsive Coulomb forces between the cations, allowing for the quantification of the two equivalent hydrogen bonds and dispersion interaction in the order of 58.5 and 11 kJmol−1, respectively. For n = 6–8, we calculated negative free energies for temperatures below 47, 80, and 114 K, respectively. Quantum cluster equilibrium (QCE) theory predicts the equilibria between cationic monomers and dimers by considering the intermolecular interaction between the species, leading to thermodynamic stability at even higher temperatures. We rationalize the H-bond characteristics of the cationic dimers by the natural bond orbital (NBO) approach, emphasizing the strong correlation between NBO-based and spectroscopic descriptors, such as NMR chemical shifts and vibrational frequencies.

Abstract
The mixing of ILs provides an opportunity for fine tuning the physiochemical properties of ILs for various applications. However, a suitable mixture having desired properties can only be designed when the physiochemical properties of the mixtures of ILs along with their spectroscopic properties are well understood. With an aim to achieve this objective, three different mixtures with a common anion, namely, [C2C1im][C4C1im][NTf2], [C3C1pyr][C4C1pyr][NTf2], and [C3C1im][C3C1pyr][NTf2], have been investigated in the current study. Investigations have been carried out at the macroscopic level by observing the thermophysical properties, such as molar volume and thermal expansion coefficient, and at the microscopic level with time-resolved fluorescence measurements and the pulse field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technique. The results obtained from the thermophysical study have indicated that excess molar volume for imidazolium-based IL-IL mixtures may be linked to the free volume created by the alkyl chain of the imidazolium cation whereas for the mixture of pyrrolidinium ILs, lowering of density can give rise to free volume. Analysis of time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy data has provided clear evidence in favor of the presence of free volume in the binary mixture of ILs. NMR studies have also supported the fluorescence anisotropy data. The outcome of the present investigation reveals that the mixtures show appreciable deviation from ideal behavior and the deviation from the ideal behavior is caused due to the generation of free volume in the resultant mixture, describing these IL mixtures as quasi-ideal rather than ideal or non-ideal.

Abstract
Hydroxyl-functionalized ionic liquids (ILs) represent a new interesting class of ILs where hydrogen bonds (HBs) play an important role: here, "typical" HBs between cations and anions (ca) are competing with "atypical" HBs connecting pairs of cations (cc). We study the equilibrium and kinetics of (cc) and (ca) HBs in 1-(n-hydroxyalkyl)-pyridinium bis(trifluoromethlysulfonyl)imide [HOCnPy][NTf2] ILs by means of molecular dynamics simulations. (cc) HBs are found to be between 0.96 and 3.76 kJ mol-1 stronger than their (ca) counterparts, depending on the alkyl chain length. HB lifetimes and kinetics are analyzed by means of HB population and reactive flux correlation functions. Essentially, four different HB lifetimes have to be considered, spanning about 3 orders of magnitude, each valid in its own right and each associated with different aspects of HB breaking and HB reformation. The long-time limiting behavior of the HB population correlation function is controlled by diffusion of the ions and can be quantitatively described by analytical expressions. The short-time HB behavior is tied to the localized dynamics of the hydroxyl group exploring its local solvation environment. A minimalist kinetic two-domain model is introduced to realistically describe the time evolution of the HB population correlation function for both (ca) and (cc) HBs over 5 orders of magnitude. By employing the reactive flux method, we determine the kinetics of HB breaking, unaffected by diffusion processes. We determine both, the ultrafast upper boundary and the average rate of HB breaking, allowing recrossing-events during the transient relaxation time period. For sufficiently long alkyl chains, all those computed HB lifetimes indicate a higher kinetic stability of (cc) HBs over (ca) HBs; for short chains, it is vice-versa.

Abstract
Hydrogen bonds (HBs) play a crucial role in the physicochemical properties of ionic liquids (ILs). To date, HBs between cations and anions (Ca-An) or between cations (Ca-Ca) in ILs have been reported extensively. Here, we provided DFT evidence for the existence of HBs between anions (An-An) in the IL 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-3-methylimidazolium 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)imidazolide [HEMIm][HEIm]. The thermodynamic stabilities of anionic, cationic, and H2O dimers together with ionic pairs were studied using potential energy scans. The results show that the cation-anion pair is the most stable one, while the HB in the anionic dimer possesses similar thermodynamic stability to the water dimer. The further geometric, spectral and electronic structure analyses demonstrate that the inter-anionic HB meets the general theoretical criteria of traditional HBs. The strength order of four HBs in complexes is cation-anion pair > H2O dimer ≈ cationic dimer > anionic dimer. The energy decomposition analysis indicates that induction and dispersion interactions are the crucial factors to overcome strong Coulomb repulsions, forming inter-anionic HBs. Finally, the presence of inter-anionic HBs in the ionic cluster has been confirmed by a global minimum search for a system containing two ionic pairs. Even though hydroxyl-functionalized cations are more likely to form HBs with anions, there are still inter-anionic HBs between hydroxyl groups in the low-lying structures. Our studies broaden the understanding of HBs in ionic liquids and support the recently proposed concept of anti-electrostatic HBs.

Abstract
Hydrogen-bonded structures and their lifetimes in ionic liquids (ILs) are governed by the subtle balance between Coulomb interactions, hydrogen bonding, and dispersion forces. Despite the dominant Coulomb interaction, local and directional hydrogen bonds (HBs) can play an important role in the behavior of ILs. Compared to water, the archetype of hydrogen-bonded liquids, ILs have larger constituents and higher viscosities but are typically lacking a three-dimensional HB network. Hydroxyl-functionalized ionic liquids are even more special: regular HBs between cations and anions (ca) are accompanied by HBs between pairs of cations (cc). Recently, infrared (IR) measurements have suggested that the (cc) HBs are even stronger than their (ca) counterparts and their strength can be controlled via the hydroxyalkyl chain length. In this paper, we show by means of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations that the presence of HBs has a profound effect on the molecular mobility of the ions. We investigate the kinetic mechanism of hydrogen bonding in ILs and show that the lifetimes and hence the stability of (cc) HBs increase with the chain length, making them more stable than the respective (ca) HBs. The observed HB equilibrium can explain the peculiar chain length dependence of the relative molecular mobilities of the ions by a direct comparison between hydroxyl-functionalized ILs with their nonfunctionalized counterparts.

Abstract
Cyclic octamers are well-known structural motifs in chemistry, biology and physics. These include covalently bound cyclic octameric sulphur, cylic octa-alkanes, cyclo-octameric peptides as well as hydrogen-bonded ring clusters of alcohols. In this work, we show that even calculated cyclic octamers of hydroxy-functionalized pyridinium cations with a net charge Q=+8e are kinetically stable. Eight positively charged cations are kept together by hydrogen bonding despite the strong Coulomb repulsive forces. Sufficiently long hydroxy-octyl chains prevent "Coulomb explosion" by increasing the distance between the positive charges at the pyridinium rings, reducing the Coulomb repulsion and thus strengthen hydrogen bonds between the OH groups. The eightfold positively charged cyclic octamer shows spectroscopic properties similar to those obtained for hydrogen-bonded neutral cyclic octamers of methanol. Thus, the area of the hydrogen bonded OH ring represents a 'molecular island' within an overall cationic environment. Although not observable, the spectroscopic properties and the correlated NBO parameters of the calculated cationic octamer support the detection of smaller cationic clusters in ionic liquids, which we observed despite the competition with ion pairs wherein attractive Coulomb forces enhance hydrogen bonding between cation and anion.

Abstract
We explore quantum chemical calculations for studying clusters of hydroxyl-functionalized cations kinetically stabilized by hydrogen bonding despite strongly repulsive electrostatic forces. In a comprehensive study, we calculate clusters of ammonium, piperidinium, pyrrolidinium, imidazolium, pyridinium, and imidazolium cations, which are prominent constituents of ionic liquids. All cations are decorated with hydroxy-alkyl chains allowing H-bond formation between ions of like charge. The cluster topologies comprise linear and cyclic clusters up to the size of hexamers. The ring structures exhibit cooperative hydrogen bonds opposing the repulsive Coulomb forces and leading to kinetic stability of the clusters. We discuss the importance of hydrogen bonding and dispersion forces for the stability of the differently sized clusters. We find the largest clusters when hydrogen bonding is maximized in cyclic topologies and dispersion interaction is properly taken into account. The kinetic stability of the clusters with short-chained cations is studied for the different types of cations ranging from hard to polarizable or exhibiting additional functional groups such as the acidic C(2)-H position in the imidazolium-based cation. Increasing the alkyl chain length, the cation effect diminishes and the kinetic stability is exclusively governed by the alkyl chain tether increasing the distance between the positively charged rings of the cations. With adding the counterion tetrafluoroborate (BF4-) to the cationic clusters, the binding energies immediately switch from strongly positive to strongly negative. In the neutral clusters, the OH functional groups of the cations can interact either with other cations or with the anions. The hexamer cluster with the cyclic H-bond motive and "released" anions is almost as stable as the hexamer built by H-bonded ion pairs exclusively, which is in accord with recent IR spectra of similar ionic liquids detecting both types of hydrogen bonding. For the cationic and neutral clusters, we discuss geometric and spectroscopic properties as sensitive probes of opposite- and like-charge interaction. Finally, we show that NMR proton chemical shifts and deuteron quadrupole coupling constants can be related to each other, allowing to predict properties which are not easily accessible by experiment.

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
We present a computational characterisation of Aminotris(methylenephosphonic acid) (ATMP) and its potential use as an anionic partner for conductive ionic liquids (ILs). We argue that for an IL to be a good candidate for a conducting medium, two conditions must be fulfilled: (i) the charge must be transported by light carriers; and (ii) the system must maintain a high degree of ionisation. The result trends presented herein show that there are molecular ion combinations that do comply with these two criteria, regardless of the specific system used. ATMP is a symmetric molecule with a total of six protons. In the bulk phase, breaking the symmetry of the fully protonated state and creating singly and doubly charged anions induces proton transfer mechanisms. To demonstrate this, we used molecular dynamics (MD) simulations employing a variable topology approach based on the reasonably reliable semiempirical density functional tight binding (DFTB) evaluation of the atomic forces. We show that, by choosing common and economical starting compounds, we can devise a viable prototype for a highly conductive medium where charge transfer is achieved by proton motion.

Abstract
Smart and soft electroactive polymer actuators as building blocks for soft robotics have many beneficial properties that could make them useful in future biomimetic and biomedical applications. Gelatin—a material exploited for medical applications—can be used to make a fully biologically benign soft electroactive polymer actuator that provides high performance and has been shown to be harmless. In our study, these polypyrrole-gelatin trilayer actuators with choline acetate and choline isobutyrate showed the highest strain difference and highest efficiency in strain difference to charge density ratios compared to a reference system containing imidazolium-based ionic liquid and a traditional polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF) membrane material. As neither the relative ion sizes nor the measured parameters of the ionic liquids could explain their behavior in the actuators, molecular dynamics simulations and density functional theory calculations were conducted. Strong cation-cation clustering was found and the radial distribution functions provided further insight into the topic, showing that the cation-cation correlation peak height is a good predictor of strain difference of the actuators.

Abstract
The neat and aqueous solutions of the cholinium glycinate ionic liquid (IL), [Cho][Gly], at different water mole fractions, xws, are studied by molecular dynamics simulations. The changes in the local nanostructure of systems with composition have been determined by calculation of various structural distribution functions. Hydrogen bond (H-bond) attractions determine the major relative orientations of the oppositely and like charged nearest neighbors. The cation-anion H-bonds mainly form between the hydrogen of the hydroxyl or methyl groups of the cation and the carboxylate oxygen of the anion. A preferred (antiparallel) arrangement between adjacent [Cho]+ cations is due to the effective H-bond between the hydroxyl oxygen and the methyl hydrogen sites that promotes the like-charge cluster formation. Adding water decreases the occurrence probability of the [Cho]+···[Gly]-···[Cho]+ bridge structure in the aqueous solutions due to the formation of the [Gly]-···HOH···[Gly]- structure via H-bonding. Observed density trend versus xw is interpreted based on an interstice model and investigating the water cluster size distribution. Finally, the effect of xw on the infrared (IR) vibrational spectra were studied and blue and red shifts were observed for the stretching and bending vibrational modes of the hydroxyl group of [Cho]+, respectively. Current findings will improve the efficient engineering design and task-specific applications of aqueous solutions of bio-ILs consist of [Cho]+ and amino acid anions.

Abstract
I have explored the structural features and the dynamics of triethylammonium acetate by means of semi-empirical (density functional tight binding, DFTB) molecular dynamics. I find that the results from the present simulations agree with recent experimental determinations with only few minor differences in the structural interpretation. A mixture of triethylamine and acetic acid does not form an ionic liquid, but gives rise to a very complex system where ionization is only a partial process affecting only few molecules (1 over 4 experimentally). I have also found that the few ionic couples are stable and remain mainly embedded inside the AcOH neutral moiety.

Abstract
![]()
We
present a computational analysis of the complex proton-transfer
processes in two protic ionic liquids based on phosphorylated amino
acid anions. The structure and the short time dynamics have been analyzed
via ab initio and semi-empirical molecular dynamics. Given the presence
of mobile protons on the side chain, such ionic liquids may represent
a viable prototype of highly conductive ionic mediums. The results
of our simulations are not entirely satisfactory in this respect.
Our results indicate that conduction in these liquids may be limited
due to a quick quenching of the proton-transfer processes. In particular,
we have found that, while proton migration does occur on very short
timescales, the amino groups act as proton scavengers preventing an
efficient proton migration. Despite their limits as conductive mediums,
we show that these ionic liquids possess an unconventional microscopic
structure, where the anionic component is made by amino acid anions
that the aforementioned proton transfer has transformed into zwitterionic
isomers. This unusual chemical structure is relevant because of the
recent use of amino acid-based ionic liquids, such as CO2 absorbent.

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. Molecular-level aspects of this docking arrangement are revealed by analyzing the OH stretching fundamentals displayed by the ternary complexes.

Abstract
We provide comprehensive understanding of "like-likes-like" charge attraction in hydroxy-functionalized ionic liquids (ILs) by means of infrared spectroscopy (IR), quantum chemistry and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). We show that hydrogen bonding between cation and cation (c-c) is possible despite the repulsive forces between ions of like charge. Already at room temperature, the (c-c) hydrogen bonds can compete with the regular Coulomb-enhanced hydrogen bonds between cation and anion (c-a). For a large set of well-selected ILs, we show that "like-charge attraction" between the OH-functionalized cations is controllable by the polarizability of the cation, the interaction strength of the anion and the length of the hydroxyalkyl chain. In particular, we clarify whether tethering the OH group away from the positive charge center of the cationic ring with longer hydroxyalkyl chains compensates for unfavourable cation/anion combinations with respect to (c-c) cluster formation. For that purpose, we synthesized and characterized twelve ionic liquids including the differently polarizable cations, 1-(n-hydroxyalkyl)-1-methylpiperidinium [HOCnMPip]+ and 1-(n-hydroxyalkyl)-pyridinium [HOCnPy]+, as well as the weakly and strongly interacting anions, bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide [NTf2]- and methanesulfonate [OMs]-, respectively. On top, we varied the hydroxyalkyl chain length (HOCn) (n = 2-5). We systematically show how these three molecular ion parameters affect like-charge attraction. The use of polarizable cations, weakly interacting anions, and long alkyl chain tethers results in (c-c) clustering already at room temperature. Kinetic trapping is not a prerequisite for the existence of (c-c) cluster species in ILs. Moreover, we demonstrate that micro structuring affects macroscopic behavior of this type of ILs. We observed that substantial (c-c) interaction prevents ILs from crystallizing. Instead, these ILs supercool and finally form a glass.

Abstract
We present deuteron quadrupole coupling constants (DQCC) for hydroxyl-functionalized ionic liquids (ILs) in the crystalline or glassy states characterizing two types of hydrogen bonding: The regular Coulomb-enhanced hydrogen bonds between cation and anion (c-a), and the unusual hydrogen bonds between cation and cation (c-c), which are present despite repulsive Coulomb forces. We measure these sensitive probes of hydrogen bonding by means of solid-state NMR spectroscopy. The DQCCs of (c-a) ion pairs and (c-c) H-bonds are compared to those of salt bridges in supramolecular complexes and those present in molecular liquids. At low temperatures, the (c-c) species successfully compete with the (c-a) ion pairs and dominate the cluster populations. Equilibrium constants obtained from molecular-dynamics (MD) simulations show van't Hoff behavior with small transition enthalpies between the differently H-bonded species. We show that cationic-cluster formation prevents these ILs from crystallizing. With cooling, the (c-c) hydrogen bonds persist, resulting in supercooling and glass formation.

Abstract
We characterize the double-faced nature of hydrogen bonding in hydroxy-functionalized ionic liquids by means of neutron diffraction with isotopic substitution (NDIS), molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, and quantum chemical calculations. NDIS data are fit using the empirical potential structure refinement technique (EPSR) to elucidate the nearest neighbor H⋅⋅⋅O and O⋅⋅⋅O pair distribution functions for hydrogen bonds between ions of opposite charge and the same charge. Despite the presence of repulsive Coulomb forces, the cation-cation interaction is stronger than the cation-anion interaction. We compare the hydrogen-bond geometries of both "doubly charged hydrogen bonds" with those reported for molecular liquids, such as water and alcohols. In combination, the NDIS measurements and MD simulations reveal the subtle balance between the two types of hydrogen bonds: The small transition enthalpy suggests that the elusive like-charge attraction is almost competitive with conventional ion-pair formation.

Abstract
An analysis of the complex proton transfer processes in certain protic ionic liquids, based on amino acid anions, has been carried out through ab initio molecular dynamics in the view of finding naturally conductive and pure mediums. The systems analyzed here might serve as chemical prototypes for pure and dry ionic liquids where mobile protons can act as fast charge carriers. We have exploited the natural tendency of these liquids to form a complex network of hydrogen bonds. The presence of such a network allows the naturally repulsive interaction between like charge ions to be weakened to the point that a proton migration process inside the anionic component of the fluid becomes possible. We have also seen that the extent of these proton migrations is sizable for carboxylic based amino acid anions, while it is very limited for sulfur containing ones.

Abstract
We rank the expected solubilities of ammonia in three hydroxyl ionic liquids - [HOEMIm][BF4], [HOEMIm][NTf2] and [Ch][NTf2] - in the temperature range 20-105 °C by analyzing the cations and anions available for interaction with ammonia. As this availability depends on ion-pair formation in ionic liquids, in this paper it is evaluated using the concentration and spectral profiles recovered in the analysis of their near infrared spectra by the multivariate resolution curve - alternating least squares method. The results indicate that the main effect of temperature on ion pairs is to decrease the number of structural configurations with cooperative hydrogen bonds between cation and cation, although in a lesser extent the number of cation-anion interactions increases. Regardless of the type of ionic liquid cation, the cation-anion interactions are higher in the tetrafluorborate ionic liquid than in the imide ionic liquid, hydroxyl imidazolium or choline. Assuming that the solubility of ammonia is limited by the concentration profile values representative of the cation-cation interactions, we deduce that at temperatures higher than 80 °C, ammonia solubility increases in the following order [HOEMIm][BF4] < [HOEMIm][NTf2] < [Ch][NTf2]. At lower temperatures, this order varies with the ammonia concentration in the NH3/ILs mixtures considered. We deduce that if the ammonia concentration is relatively low, the ammonia solubility will be governed by the evolution of cation-anion interaction in the ionic liquids and the solubility order is the same as at higher temperatures. However, when the ammonia concentration is higher, the ammonia solubility in the [Ch][NTf2] ionic liquid is lower than in the hydroxyl-ionic liquids. This conclusion is supported by the experimental vapor-liquid equilibria (VLE) data of ammonia-/ILs mixtures with ammonia mass fractions between 0.2 and 0.8.

Abstract
Quantum chemical calculations have been employed to study the kinetic and thermodynamic stability of hydroxy-functionalized 1-(3-hydroxyalkyl)pyridinium cationic dimers. For [Py-(CH2)n-OH+]2 structures with n = 2-17 we have calculated the robust local minima with clear dissociation barriers preventing their "Coulomb explosion" into separated cations. For n = 15 hydrogen bonding and dispersion forces fully compensate for the repulsive Coulomb forces between the cations allowing for the quantification of the pure hydrogen bond in the order of 20 kJ mol-1. The increasing kinetic stability even turns to thermodynamic stability with further elongated hydroxyalkyl chains. Now, quantum-type short-range attraction wins over classical long-range electrostatic repulsion resulting in negative binding energies and providing the first thermodynamically stable cationic dimers. The electronic, structural and spectroscopic signatures of the cationic dimers could be correlated to NBO parameters, supporting the existence of anti-electrostatic hydrogen bonds (AEHB) as recently suggested by Weinhold. In principle, these pure cationic dimers should be detectable in gas-phase experiments at low temperatures without the need of mediating molecules or counteranions.

Abstract
“Unlike charges attract, but like charges repel”. This conventional wisdom has been recently challenged for ionic liquids. It could be shown that like-charged ions attract each other despite the powerful opposing electrostatic forces. In principle, cooperative hydrogen bonding between ions of like-charge can overcome the repulsive Coulomb interaction while pushing the limits of chemical bonding. The key challenge of this solvation phenomenon is to establish design principles for the efficient formation of clusters of like-charged ions in ionic liquids. This is realised here for a set of well-suited ionic liquids including the same hydrophobic anion but different cations all equipped with hydroxyethyl groups for possible H-bonding. The formation of H-bonded cationic clusters can be controlled by the delocalization of the positive charge on the cations. Strongly localized charge results in cation-anion interaction, delocalized charge leads to the formation of cationic clusters. For the first time we can show, that the cationic clusters influence the properties of ILs. ILs comprising these clusters can be supercooled and form glasses. Crystalline structures are obtained only, if the ILs are dominantly characterized by the attraction between opposite-charged ions resulting in conventional ion pairs. That may open a new path for controlling glass formation and crystallization. The glass temperatures and the phase transitions of the ILs are observed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and infrared (IR) spectroscopy.

Abstract
The local structure of a series of homologous protic ionic liquids (PILs) is investigated using ab initio computations and ab initio-based molecular dynamics. The purpose of this work is to show that in PILs the network of hydrogen bonds may promote like-charge clustering between anionic species. We correlate the theoretical evidence of this possibility with viscosity experimental data. The homologous series of liquids is obtained by coupling choline with amino acid anions and varying the side chain. We find that the frictional properties of the liquids are clearly connected to the ability of the side chain to establish additional hydrogen bonds (other than the trivial cation-anion interaction). We also show that the large variation of bulk properties along the series of compounds can be explained by assuming that one of the sources of friction in the bulk liquid is the like-charge interaction between anions.

Abstract
Quantum chemical calculations have been employed to study kinetically stable cationic clusters, wherein the monovalent cations are trapped by hydrogen bonding despite strongly repulsive electrostatic forces. We calculated linear and cyclic clusters of the hydroxy-functionalized cation N-(3-hydroxypropyl) pyridinium, commonly used as cation in ionic liquids. The largest kinetically stable cluster was a cyclic hexamer that very much resembles the structural motifs of molecular clusters, as known for water and alcohols. Surprisingly, strong cooperative hydrogen bonds overcome electrostatic repulsion and result in cationic clusters with a high net charge up to Q=+6e. The structural, spectroscopic, and electronic signatures of the cationic and related molecular clusters of 3-phenyl-1-propanol could be correlated to NBO parameters, supporting the existence of "anti-electrostatic" hydrogen bonds (AEHB), as recently suggested by Weinhold. We also showed that dispersion forces enhance the cationic cluster formation and compensate the electrostatic repulsion of one additional positive charge.

Abstract
Systematic molecular dynamics simulations based on an empirical force field have been carried out for samples of triethylammonium trifluoromethanesulfonate (triethylammonium triflate, [TEA][Tf]), covering a wide temperature range 200 K ≤ T ≤ 400 K and analyzing a broad set of properties, from self-diffusion and electrical conductivity to rotational relaxation and hydrogen-bond dynamics. The study is motivated by recent quasi-elastic neutron scattering and differential scanning calorimetry measurements on the same system, revealing two successive first order transitions at T ≈ 230 and 310 K (on heating), as well as an intriguing and partly unexplained variety of subdiffusive motions of the acidic proton. Simulations show a weakly discontinuous transition at T = 310 K and highlight an anomaly at T = 260 K in the rotational relaxation of ions that we identify with the simulation analogue of the experimental transition at T = 230 K. Thus, simulations help identifying the nature of the experimental transitions, confirming that the highest temperature one corresponds to melting, while the one taking place at lower T is a transition from the crystal, stable at T ≤ 260 K, to a plastic phase (260 ≤ T ≤ 310 K), in which molecules are able to rotate without diffusing. Rotations, in particular, account for the subdiffusive motion seen at intermediate T both in the experiments and in the simulation. The structure, distribution, and strength of hydrogen bonds are investigated by molecular dynamics and by density functional computations. Clustering of ions of the same sign and the effect of contamination by water at 1% wgt concentration are discussed as well.
