  • Superbase derived protic ionic liquids with chelating fluorinated anions
    Tetrahedron Letters, 2011
    Co-Authors: Jason R Bell, Huimin Luo, Sheng Dai
    Abstract:

    Abstract Eighteen new protic ionic liquids were synthesized in one step from five organic Superbases and five commercially available fluorinated β-diketones. Physical properties of the ionic liquids, including thermal decomposition temperature were determined. Nine of the ionic liquids were examined as extraction media for La 3+ , with some very large distribution coefficients obtained.

  • equimolar co2 capture by imidazolium based ionic liquids and Superbase systems
    Green Chemistry, 2010
    Co-Authors: Congmin Wang, Huimin Luo, Xiaoyan Luo, Sheng Dai
    Abstract:

    Imidazolium-based ionic liquids continue to attract interest in many areas of chemistry because of their low melting points, relatively low viscosities, ease of synthesis, and good stabilities against oxidative and reductive conditions. However, they are not totally inert under many conditions due to the intrinsic acidity of hydrogen at the C-2 position in the imidazolium cation. In this work, this intrinsic acidity was exploited in combination with an organic Superbase for the capture of CO2 under atmospheric pressure. During the absorption of CO2, the imidazolium-based ionic liquid containing an equimolar Superbase reacted with CO2 to form a liquid carboxylate salt so that the equimolar capture of CO2 with respect to the base was achieved. The effects of ionic liquid structures, types of organic Superbases, absorption times, and reaction temperatures on the capture of CO2 were investigated. Our results show that this integrated ionic liquid–Superbase system is capable of rapid and reversible capture of about 1 mol CO2 per mole of ionic liquid. Furthermore, the captured CO2 can be readily released by either heating or bubbling N2, and recycled with little loss of its capture capability. This efficient and reversible catch-and-release process using the weak acidity of the C-2 proton in nonvolatile imidazolium-based ionic liquids provides a good alternative to the current CO2 capture methods that use volatile alkanols, amines, or water.

  • reversible and robust co2 capture by equimolar task specific ionic liquid Superbase mixtures
    Green Chemistry, 2010
    Co-Authors: Congmin Wang, Huimin Luo, Shannon M Mahurin, Gary A Baker, Sheng Dai
    Abstract:

    Integrated sorption systems consisting of 1 : 1 mixtures of an alcohol-functionalized ionic liquid and a Superbase were found to be effective for CO2 capture under atmospheric pressure, eliminating the use of volatile n-alkanols or water. Conversely, by using the current approach, there is no longer a requirement for maintaining scrupulously dry conditions. The effect of ionic liquid structure, choice of Superbase, their relative ratios, the sorption temperature, and the reaction time on the absorption and release of CO2 were investigated. Our results demonstrate that (i) this integrated ionic liquid–Superbase system is capable of rapid and reversible capture of nearly one mole of CO2 per mole of Superbase, (ii) the captured CO2 can be readily released by either mild heating or bubbling with an insert gas (N2, Ar), and (iii) this novel CO2 chemisorption platform can be recycled with minimal loss of activity. This efficient and fully reversible catch-and-release process using non-volatile, task-specific ionic liquids provides an excellent alternative to current CO2 capture technologies, which are based largely around volatile alkanols or alkylamines. Furthermore, our integrated ionic liquid–Superbase system can be used as a novel medium for supported liquid membranes, for which they demonstrate both good selectivity and permeability in model CO2/N2 gas separations.

  • ultrastable Superbase derived protic ionic liquids
    Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2009
    Co-Authors: Huimin Luo, Gary A Baker, Je Seung Lee, Richard M Pagni, Sheng Dai
    Abstract:

    Protic ionic liquids are synthesized via proton transfer from acids to organic bases. One of the key issues associated with conventional protic ionic liquids is the thermal instability resulting from temperature-induced decomposition via reverse proton transfer. This shortcoming significantly hampers the use of these protic ionic liquids in separations, electrochemical capacitors, fuel cells, and so forth. Herein we show that it is possible to prepare protic ionic liquids with thermal stabilities approaching those of common aprotic ionic liquids. Our new class of protic ionic liquids, derived via integrated neutralization and metathesis of superbasic phosphazenes or guanidines, exhibits exceptionally low vapor pressures at 150 °C while being stable to strong alkali agents such as aqueous KOH, suggesting potential in energy-related applications, including electrochemical capacitors and PEM-type fuel cells.

  • carbon dioxide capture by Superbase derived protic ionic liquids
    Angewandte Chemie, 2010
    Co-Authors: Congmin Wang, Deen Jiang, Haoran Li
    Abstract:

    Protic ionic liquids (PILs) from a Superbase and fluorinated alcohol, imidazole, pyrrolinone, or phenol were designed to capture CO{sub 2} based on the reactivity of their anions to CO{sub 2}. These PILs are capable of rapid and reversible capture of about one equivalent of CO{sub 2}, which is superior to those sorption systems based on traditional aprotic ILs.
