Abstract
  • In this paper, the morphology and bulk physical properties of 1,3-dialkylimidazolium bis{(trifluoromethane)sulfonyl}amide ([(CN/2)2im][NTf2]) are compared to that of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bis{(trifluoromethane)sulfonyl}amide ([CN–1C1im][NTf2]) for N = 4, 6, 8, and 10. For a given pair of ionic liquids (ILs) with the same N, the ILs differ only in the symmetry of the alkyl substitution on the imidazolium ring of the cation. Small-wide-angle X-ray scattering measurements indicate that, for a given symmetric/asymmetric IL pair, the structural heterogeneities are larger in the asymmetric IL than in the symmetric IL. The correlation length of structural heterogeneities for the symmetric and asymmetric salts, however, is described by the same linear equation when plotted versus the single alkyl chain length. Symmetric ILs with N = 4 and 6 easily crystallize, whereas longer alkyl chains and asymmetry hinder crystallization. Interestingly, the glass transition temperature is found to vary inversely with the correlation length of structural heterogeneities and with the length of the longest alkyl chain. Whereas the densities for a symmetric/asymmetric IL pair with a given N are nearly the same, the viscosity of the asymmetric IL is greater than that of the symmetric IL. Also, an even–odd effect previously observed in molecular dynamics simulations is confirmed by viscosity measurements. We discuss in this paper how the structural heterogeneities and physical properties of these ILs are consistent with alkyl tail segregation. (literal)
