Abstract
Protic ionic liquids (PILs), made from anhydrous mixtures of Bronsted acids HA and bases B (HA + B → BH+ + A-), occasionally suffer from limited ionicity. In cases of "poor" PILs (<10% ionicity, e.g., using carboxylic acids), past simulations have hinted that ion-pair association, more than incomplete proton transfer, is at fault. To improve upon the Fuoss equation for predicting the degree of ion pairing, new electrostatic equations (including induced dipoles) are presented, for ion-pair and other associations that occur in anhydrous amine/carboxylic acid mixtures. The equations present the association Gibbs energies ΔGA (and thus the association constants KA) as functions of three fundamental properties: the acid/base mixing ratio (n = xA/xB), the HA-to-B proton-transfer strength (ΔpKa,ε=78), and the dielectric constant (relative permittivity) of the mixture (ε). Parameter values were obtained from fits to constant-dielectric quantum chemistry data (obtained and presented here). These ΔGA functions were then used to predict ΔGioniz values for the net ion-generating (autoionization) equilibrium in carboxylic acid/amine mixtures: 2B(HA)n⇄B(HA)n-dHB++A(HA)n+d-1 -, where n = xA/xB and d = degree of disproportionation. The agreement with experiment was excellent, demonstrating that these equations could have useful predictive power.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) have shown to be promising additives to the catalyst layer to enhance oxygen reduction reaction in polymer electrolyte fuel cells. However, fundamental understanding of their role in complex catalyst layers in practically relevant membrane electrode assembly environment is needed for rational design of highly durable and active platinum-based catalysts. Here we explore three imidazolium-derived ionic liquids, selected for their high proton conductivity and oxygen solubility, and incorporate them into high surface area carbon black support. Further, we establish a correlation between the physical properties and electrochemical performance of the ionic liquid-modified catalysts by providing direct evidence of ionic liquids role in altering hydrophilic/hydrophobic interactions within the catalyst layer interface. The resulting catalyst with optimized interface design achieved a high mass activity of 347 A g-1Pt at 0.9 V under H2/O2, power density of 0.909 W cm-2 under H2/air and 1.5 bar, and had only 0.11 V potential decrease at 0.8 A cm-2 after 30 k accelerated stress test cycles. This performance stems from substantial enhancement in Pt utilization, which is buried inside the mesopores and is now accessible due to ILs addition.

Abstract
![]()
Protic ionic liquids (PILs) are potential candidates
as electrolyte
components in energy storage devices. When replacing flammable and
volatile organic solvents, PILs are expected to improve the safety
and performance of electrochemical devices. Considering their technical
application, a challenging task is the understanding of the key factors
governing their intermolecular interactions and physicochemical properties.
The present work intends to investigate the effects of the structural
features on the properties of a promising PIL based on the 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene
(DBUH+) cation and the (trifluoromethanesulfonyl)(nonafluorobutanesulfonyl)imide
(IM14–) anion, the latter being a remarkably large
anion with an uneven distribution of the C–F pool between the
two sides of the sulfonylimide moieties. For comparison purposes,
the experimental investigations were extended to PILs composed of
the same DBU-based cation and the trifluoromethanesulfonate
(TFO–) or bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide
(TFSI–) anion. The combined use of multiple NMR
methods, thermal analyses, density, viscosity, and conductivity measurements
provides a deep characterization of the PILs, unveiling peculiar behaviors
in DBUH-IM14, which cannot be predicted solely on the basis of differences
between aqueous pKa values of the protonated
base and the acid (ΔpKa). Interestingly,
the thermal and electrochemical properties of DBUH-IM14 turn out to
be markedly governed by the size and asymmetric nature of the anion.
This observation highlights that the structural features of the precursors
are an important tool to tailor the PIL’s properties according
to the specific application.

Abstract
In this Perspective, I review the current state of computational simulations on ionic liquids with an emphasis on the recent biocompatible variants. These materials are used here as an example of relatively complex systems that highlights the limits of some of the approaches commonly used to study their structure and dynamics. The source of these limits consists of the coexistence of nontrivial electrostatic, many-body quantum effects, strong hydrogen bonds, and chemical processes affecting the mutual protonation state of the constituent molecular ions. I also provide examples on how it is possible to overcome these problems using suitable simulation paradigms and recently improved techniques that, I expect, will be gradually introduced in the state-of-the-art of computational simulations of ionic liquids.

Abstract
We focus on a series of protic ionic liquids (PILs) with imidazolium and alkylimidazolium (1R3HIm, R = methyl, ethyl, propyl, and butyl) cations. Using the literature data and our experimental results on the thermal and transport properties, we analyze the effects of the anion nature and the alkyl radical length in the cation structure on the above properties. DFT calculations in gas and solvent phase have resulted in microscopic insights into the structure and cation-anion binding in these PILs. We show that the higher thermodynamic stability of an ion pair raises the PIL decomposition temperature. The melting points of the salts with the same cation decrease as the hydrocarbon radical in the cation becomes longer, which correlates with the weaker ion-ion interaction in the ion pairs. A comparative analysis of the protic ILs and corresponding ILs (1R3MeIm) with the same radical (R) in the cation structure and the same anion has been performed. The lower melting points of the ILs with 1R3MeIm cations are assumed to result from the weakening both of the ion-ion interaction and hydrogen bond.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs), being related to the design of new environmentally friendly solvents, are widely considered for applications within the "green chemistry" concept. Due to their unique properties and wide diversity, ILs allow tailoring new separation procedures and producing new materials for advanced applications. However, despite the promising technical performance, environmental concerns highlighted in recent studies focused on the toxicity and biodegradability of ILs and their metabolites have revealed that ILs safety labels are not as benign as previously claimed. This review refers to the fundamentals about the properties and applications of ILs also in the context of their potential environmental effect. Toxicological issues and harmful effects related to the use of ILs are discussed, including the evaluation of their biodegradability and ecological impact on diverse organisms and ecosystems, also with respect to bacteria, fungi, and cell cultures. In addition, this review covers the tools used to assess the toxicity of ILs, including the predictive computational models and the results of studies involving cell membrane models and molecular simulations. Summing up the knowledge available so far, there are still no reliable criteria for unequivocal attribution of toxicity and environmental impact credentials for ILs, which is a challenging research task.

Abstract
In this short review I shall highlight the basic principle and the difficulties that arise in attempting the computational modeling of seemingly simple systems which hide an unexpected complexity. Biocompatible ionic liquids which are based on the coupling of organic or amino acid anions with metabolic cations such as cholinium are the target of this review. These substances have been the subject of intense research activities in the last few years and have attracted the attention of computational chemists. I shall show that the computational description of these substances is far from trivial and requires the use of sophisticated techniques in order to account for a surprisingly rich chemistry that is due to several phenomena such as polarization, charge transfer, proton transfer equilibria and tautomerization reactions.

Abstract
Abstract
Protic ionic liquids (PILs) being intrinsic proton conducting ionic species are considered as potential green electrolytes for study of electrocatalytic reactions and for fabrication of IL-based fuel cells (FCs) and batteries. We have prepared a sulfate anion based protic ionic liquid (PIL), triethylammonium sulfate (TEAS) through a reaction involving transfer of proton from H2SO4 to triethylamine (TEA). 1H NMR and FT-IR spectroscopic techniques were employed for confirmation of the synthesis of TEAS and water content of the PIL was quantified using coulometric Karl–Fischer (KF) titration. 1H NMR and FT-IR analysis confirm the synthesis of the PILs and KF-titration analysis shows that TEAS contains 1.43 w/w % water. Electrical conductivity of TEAS was determined at different temperatures showing that the PIL has excellent ionic conductivity that enhances with rise in temperature of the medium. The temperature dependence of the conductivity of the PIL follows the Arrhenius equation as the logσ versus 1/T plot is linear. The electrochemical windows (EWs) of the electrolyte were found using cyclic voltammetry at Pt and Au working electrodes and found to decrease with increase in temperature of the medium. The data revealed that the surfaces of the electrodes are covered with oxide layers due to oxidation of trace water (1.43 w/w %) present in the PIL. The oxide layers growth increase and their onset potential moves to less positive values as the temperature of the PILs is increased. The data was compared with the literature and would be helpful in understanding of the surface electrochemistry in this neoteric medium for being used as potential electrolyte in industry for various electrochemical applications.

Abstract
The protic ionic liquid diethylmethylammonium methanesulfonate ([DEMA][OMs]) was analyzed in depth by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS) under anhydrous conditions. Karl Fischer titration, NMR, and FT-IR spectra confirmed the high purity of [DEMA][OMs]. The melting point (37.7 °C) and the freezing point (14.0 °C) obtained by DSC agree well with the values determined by BDS (40.0 °C and 14.0 °C). The dc conductivity (σdc) above the melting/freezing point obeys the Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann (VFT) equation well, and thus, the proton conduction in [DEMA][OMs] is assumed to be dominated by the vehicle mechanism. In contrast, the σdc below the melting/freezing point can be fitted by the Arrhenius equation separately, and therefore, the proton conduction is most likely governed by the proton hopping mechanism. The non-negligible influence of previously reported low water content on the physicochemical properties of [DEMA][OMs] is found, indicating the importance of reducing water content as much as possible for the study of "intrinsic" properties of protic ionic liquids.

Abstract
The equilibrium acidities for several series of structural and electronic different organic acids were measured in 3-pyrrolidinium-based aprotic and protic ionic liquid (IL) analogues, that is, [Bmpy][NTf2], [BpyH][NTf2], and [PyH2][NTf2], by the UV-Vis method. The acidities of neutral acids are found to be much stronger in the protic ILs (PILs) than aprotic ILs (AILs), and the acidifying effect in the two PILs roughly increases proportionally to the number of protons in the cation of the PIL. On the other hand, interestingly, the cationic N+-H acids exhibit similar acidities in [Bmpy][NTf2] and [BpyH][NTf2] but much weaker than those in [PyH2][NTf2]. The Hammett ρ values for the acidic dissociation of para-substituted benzoic acids in two PILs are about the same as that in water (1.00) but significantly smaller than that in the AIL [Bmpy][NTf2] (2.66). The correlations between the acidities in the PILs and water show double-linear relationships with different slopes and intercepts for the neutral and cationic acids. These, together with previous observations in the PILs [DBUH][OTf] (DBU = 1,5-diazabicyclo(5.4.0)-5-undecene) and EAN (ethylammonium nitrate), clearly indicate that the structure of the cation plays a subtle but a crucial role on sensing the electronic nature of solutes and strongly affects the solvation behaviors of PILs.

Role of Cation Structure in CO 2 Separation by Ionic Liquid/Sulfonated Polyimide Composite Membrane. MEMBRANES 2019; 9:membranes9070081.

Abstract
The development of suitable separation technologies for the separation of carbon dioxide is a pressing technological requirement. The application of ion gel membranes for this purpose continues to stimulate a great deal of research, and in this study we focus on the chemical structure of the ionic liquid component in the ion gel, and its interactions with the sulfonated polyimide polymer. Whilst such membranes are known to give promising carbon dioxide separation properties together with mechanical strength and thin-film-processability, we further elaborate on how changing the cation of the ionic liquid from a typical imidazolium cation to a protic variant effects the physicochemical, thermal, and structural properties of the membranes, and how these changes further influence the carbon dioxide separation properties. We compare and contrast our findings with our earlier study on protic and aprotic ammonium-based ionic liquids, and highlight that for CO2 absorption behavior in the imidazolium systems, the importance of directionality of interactions (ion pairs exhibit a large energy stabilization only for a specific geometrical arrangement of cation and anion, e.g., hydrogen bonding rather than Coulombic interaction) between cation and anion applies not only to the protic system, but also to the nominally aprotic cation. Finally, we demonstrate that the phase separation behavior in the ion gels is an important factor in determining the carbon dioxide separation behavior.

Abstract
In order to obtain the regularities of physicochemical properties of hydroxy protic ionic liquids (PILs) and broaden their potential application, a series of 2-hydroxyethylammonium sulfonate-based PILs were synthesized through proton transfer reaction and characterized by NMR and FT-IR and elemental analysis. Their phase transfer behavior (T m) and initial decomposition point (T d) were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), respectively. Meanwhile, the regularities of density (ρ), viscosity (η) and electrical conductivity (σ) of synthesized PILs at different temperatures were measured. The results indicated that their physicochemical properties were tightly related with their structures and the interactions between cations and anions. In addition, the dissociation constants (pKa) of synthesized PILs were obtained by acid-base titration, which revealed that all synthesized PILs had pKa exceeding 7 and their cations were the crux of determining the pKa value. Moreover, several synthesized PILs with a low melting temperature also showed potential application in the deoxidation reaction of cyclohexanol, as they had conversion rates approximating 100% and the selectivity of cyclohexane or cyclohexene was about 80%.
