以具有支链结构的溴代仲丁烷作为烷基化试剂,在微波辐射下采用两步法合成了1-仲丁基-3-甲基咪唑六氟磷酸盐([s—bmim][PF6])离子液体.在配比为V(水):V(乙醇):V(甲苯)=0.16:2.84:7的混合溶剂体系中,培养出品型完整的长约11mm的离子液体大单晶体.通过单晶体X衍射研究了[s—bmim][PF6]的晶体结构.[s—bmim][PF6]属于三斜立方晶系,空间群为P2(1)/m,晶胞参数为n=0.9042(4)nm,b=0.8213(3)nm,C=0.9775(4)nm,γ=116.618°(6),Z=2,V=64.909(4)nm^3,D,=1.454g/cm^3,μ=0.265mm^-1,F(000)=292.在[s—bmim][PF6]晶体结构中,阴阳离子间的离子键仍然是主要的,同时还存在氢键和阳离子-阳离子间的非键斥力作用.研究结果表明,[s—bmim][PF6]的支化烷基结构对其晶体有效堆积、熔点、液程范围以及热分解温度等性质具有重要影响.
In this paper, 1-sec-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexfluorophosphate ( [ s-bmim ] [ PF6 ] ) was synthesized with the aid of microwave. Large single crystals were formed in the water-ethanol-toluene system [ V( water): V( ethanol) : V(toluene) = 0. 16: 2.84:71. The large single crystals are stable under the air and moisture, with the maximum length of 11 mm. The crystal structure was determined by X-ray diffraction. [ s-bmim ][ PF6 ] crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/m, with unit-cell parameters a = 0. 9042 (4) nm, b=0.8213(3) nm, c=0.9775(4) nm, T=116.618°(6), Z=2, V=64.909(4) nm3, Dc=1.454 g/cm3,μ =0. 265 mm^-1 , F(000) =292, the final R =0. 0998, wR =0. 2656. In the structure, the cations and anions can not form neutral ion pairs owing to the interionic interactions such as the dominant Coulombic attraction, the weak hydrogen bonds and the non-chemical-bond tension of cation-cation. Moreover, it was found that introducing the sec-butyl chain could change the asymmetry of cations and inhibit the rotation of the alky chains of [ s-bmim ] [ PF6 ]. The branched structure leads to the void space filling in the crystal stacking and high lattice energy. Finally, the thermal stability of [ s-bmim ] [ PF6] was discussed.
