Cations in an aqueous [C16(MIm)2][2Br] solution aggregate spontaneously to form micelles, with a hydrophobic core composed of spacer alkyl chains and a hydrophilic surface composed of imidazolium head groups.

Dynamic tribochemical processes for dicationic ionic liquid containing a germinal imidazolium cation head groups bridged by a poly(ethylene glycol) and bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide anion were studied using time-resolved Mechanically Stimulated Gas Emission Mass-Spectrometry (MSGE-MS). In comparison with similar monocationic imidazolium ionic liquids with short alkylic or long polyether side chains the dicationic ionic liquid had lower coefficient of friction on Ti6Al4V alloy and smoother behaviour. The analysis of volatile decomposition products suggested multiple tribochemical reactions in which both anionic and cationic moieties are involved. Tribochemical degradation of cations was mainly through detachment of the side and bridging chains from the imidazolium head groups. Absence of volatile products containing nitrogen implies that imidazole group remained unchanged. Hydrogen and water desorption were attributed to the reactions of hydrogen fluoride being a product of anion degradation with titanium and titanium oxide.

ABSTRACTMany-body polarizable force field has been developed and validated for a wide class of ionic liquids. Classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been performed on 29 ionic liquids. This presentation will focus on ability of developed force fields to predict condensed phase properties and on understanding the influence of many-body polarizable interactions on the ionic liquid structure and transport.

Aggregation kinetics of a porphyrin derivative in the absence and presence of different concentrations, below and above the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of three ionic liquids (ILs); 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium, 1-dodecyl-3- methyl imidazolium and 1-octadecyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride was studied using molecular dynamics simulation. Effect of IL, with different chain lengths on the aggregation of a porphyrin derivative, 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(2,5-dihydroxyphenyl)porphyrin, was investigated. The low amount of each ionic liquid (below CMC) observed to favors the formation of aggregates; further increasing ionic liquid concentration leads to the destabilization of aggregates. The compared calculated rate constants also support these results. Aggregation of imidazolium ILs proved to take place with longer alkyl chains that favors aggregation.
