Herein we report the synthesis of the first ionic liquids with the highly reactive and synthetically valuable phosphaethynolate (PCO(-)) anion. They are simply synthesised by the reaction of organic methylcarbonate salts with P(SiMe3)3. The products are obtained in near to quantitative yields and they are highly viscous liquids at room temperature or have low melting points for symmetric cation...

Binary mixtures of room temperature ionic liquids (IL) with a common cation were investigated using atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Two different binary ILs, viz., [C4mim][PF6]-[C4mim][Cl] and [C4mim][PF6]-[C4mim][BF4], were studied with varying fractions of either anion. The coordination environment of an anion around the cation is altered in the presence of another type of anio...

A Room-Temperature Liquid blended with deionized four different fractions 20%, 15%, 10%, 5% prepare an ...

Ionic liquids are universally considered to be materials of the future. Their peculiar properties appeal to the most diverse technological areas such as chemical industry, electrochemistry, optics, environmental chemistry, medicine and nanotechnology. Their extraordinary macroscopic properties originate from the peculiar ionic nanoscopic structure and the possibility of modulating these propert...

Electrolyte solutions with high concentrations of ions are prevalent in biological systems and energy storage technologies. Nevertheless, the high interaction free energy and long-range nature of electrostatic interactions makes the development of a general conceptual picture of concentrated electrolytes a significant challenge. In this work, we study ionic liquids, single-component liquids com...

Ionic liquids, low temperature molten salts, have various advantages manifesting themselves as durable and environmentally friendly solvents. Their application is expanding into various fields including hydrometallurgy due to their unique properties such as non-volatility, inflammability, low toxicity, good ionic conductivity, and wide electrochemical potential window. This paper reviews previo...

A modified UNIFAC−VISCO group contribution method was developed for the correlation and prediction of viscosity of ionic liquids as a function of temperature at 0.1 MPa. In this original approach, cations and anions were regarded as peculiar molecular groups. The significance of this approach comes from the ability to calculate the viscosity of mixtures of ionic liquids as well as pure ionic li...

Little is known about the microscopic mechanism of solvation dynamics in room-temperature ionic liquids, but experimental studies have found that the solvent response has both sub-picosecond and nanosecond timescale components. We present the results of molecular dynamics calculations of the time-resolved fluorescence response of a chromophore in an ionic liquid, and analyze the solute–solvent ...

A novel CMPO (carbamoylmethylphosphine oxide) based task specific ionic liquid (TSIL) with an NTf(2)(-) counter anion was synthesized and evaluated for actinide/lanthanide extraction from acidic feed solutions using several room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs). The extraction data were compared with those obtained with CMPO in the same set of RTILs and also in the molecular diluent, n-dodecan...
