Material preparation in ionic liquids and environmental pollution control by ionic liquids are often closely dependent on the aggregation behavior of ionic liquids in solution. In the present work, conductivity, fluorescence probe, and dynamic light scattering techniques have been used to study the effect of organic solvents on the aggregation behavior of 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide in water. It was shown that the critical aggregation concentration (CAC), the ionization degree of the aggregates (α), and the standard Gibbs energy of aggregation (ΔGm°) of the ionic liquid increase, while its aggregation number (Nagg) and aggregates’ size decrease with increasing concentration of organic additives in water. These results have been discussed from the favorable interactions of alkyl chain of the ionic liquid with the mixed solvents. It is suggested that the solvophobic parameter, characterized quantitatively by Gibbs energy of transfer of hydrocarbon from gas into a given solvent, can be used to account for the effect of organic additives on the formation and growth of the ionic liquid aggregates in water. Aggregation behavior of ionic liquids in aqueous organic solutions can be modulated simply by the solvophobic parameters of hydrocarbon in the mixed solvents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Recently, some binary ionic liquid (IL)/cosolvent systems have shown better performance than the pure ILs in fields such as CO2 absorption, catalysis, cellulose dissolution, and electrochemistry. However, interactions of ILs with cosolvents are still not well understood at the molecular level. In this work, H2O and DMSO were chosen as the representative protic and aprotic solvents to study the effect of cosolvent nature on solvation of a series of ILs by molecular dynamics simulations and quantum chemistry calculations. The concept of preferential interaction of ions was proposed to describe the interaction of cosolvent with cation and anion of the ILs. By comparing the interaction energies between IL and different cosolvents, it was found that there were significantly preferential interactions of anions of the ILs with water, but the same was not true for the interactions of cations/anions of the ILs with DMSO. Then, a detailed analysis and comparison of the interactions in IL/cosolvent systems, hydrogen bonds between cations and anions of the ILs, and the structure of the first coordination shells of the cations and the anions were performed to reveal the existing state of ions at different molar ratios of the cosolvent to a given IL. Furthermore, a systematic knowledge for the solvation of ions of the ILs in DMSO was given to understand cellulose dissolution in IL/cosolvent systems. The conclusions drawn from this study may provide new insight into the ionic solvation of ILs in cosolvents, and motivate further studies in the related applications.

- Abstract
Thermodynamic dissociation constants of the Brønsted acidic ionic liquids (ILs) are important for their catalytic and separation applications. In this work, a series of imidazolium bromides with one carboxylic acid substitute group in their alkyl chain ([{(CH2)nCOOH}mim]Br, n = 1,3,5,7) have been synthesized, and their dissociation constants (pKa) at different ionic strengths have been determined in aqueous and aqueous organic solvents at 0.1 mole fraction (x) of ethanol, glycol, iso-propanol, and dimethyl sulfoxide by potentiometric titrations at 298.2 K. The standard thermodynamic dissociation constants (pKa(T)) of the ILs in these solvents were calculated from the extended Debye-Hückel equation. It was found that the pKa values increased with the increase of ionic strength of the media and of the addition of organic solvent in water. The pKa(T) values also increased with the increase of the alkyl chain length of cations of the ILs. In addition, the effect of solvent nature on pKa(T) values is interpreted from solvation of the dissociation components and their Gibbs energy of transfer from water to aqueous organic solutions.

- Abstract
Recently, it has been reported that addition of a cosolvent significantly influences solubility of cellulose in ionic liquids (ILs), but little is known about the influence mechanism of the cosolvent on the molecular level. In this work, four kinds of typical molecular solvents (dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), CH₃OH, and H₂O) were used to investigate the effect of cosolvents on cellulose dissolution in [C₄mim][CH₃COO] by molecular dynamics simulations and quantum chemistry calculations. It was found that dissolution of cellulose in IL/cosolvent systems is mainly determined by the hydrogen bond interactions between [CH₃COO](-) anions and the hydroxyl protons of cellulose. The effect of cosolvents on the solubility of cellulose is indirectly achieved by influencing such hydrogen bond interactions. The strong preferential solvation of [CH₃COO](-) by the protic solvents (CH₃OH and H₂O) can compete with the cellulose-[CH₃COO](-) interaction in the dissolution process, resulting in decreased cellulose solubility. On the other hand, the aprotic solvents (DMSO and DMF) can partially break down the ionic association of [C₄mim][CH₃COO] by solvation of the cation and anion, but no preferential solvation was observed. The dissociated [CH₃COO](-) would readily interact with cellulose to improve the dissolution of cellulose. Furthermore, the effect of the aprotic solvent-to-IL molar ratio on the dissolution of cellulose in [C₄mim][CH₃COO]/DMSO systems was investigated, and a possible mechanism is proposed. These simulation results provide insight into how a cosolvent affects the dissolution of cellulose in ILs and may motivate further experimental studies in related fields.

- Abstract
The effect of pressure on the structure, interionic interactions, and properties of the ionic liquid (IL) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([C(4)mim][PF(6)]) was studied using an all-atom molecular dynamics simulation. A distinct conformational transition from anti (a) to gauche (g) form based on the deformation of the first C-C bond of the butyl chain was observed under high pressure, and the ratio of the a conformation that changed into the g conformation was 5.5% at 6000 bar. Under high pressure, the configuration of the a and g conformer for [C(4)mim](+) tends to make the alkyl chain distorted to the inside of the ring. Results on the density changes indicate a small increase from 5000 to 6000 bar, which could be attributed to the writhing of the reducing end of the alkyl chain in the cation at higher pressure. These simulation results are well agreed with the experimental results. Transport properties were also calculated at different pressures. The results show that diffusion of the ions is reduced under high pressure, and the viscosity is dramatically enhanced.

- Abstract
Dilution enthalpies and mixing enthalpies of sodium halide and some saccharides (glucose, galactose, xylose, arabinose, fructose, and sucrose) in aqueous solution were determined by calorimetric measurements at 298.15 K. The values were used to determine enthalpic pair interaction parameters. Combined with Gibbs energy pair parameters, entropic pair interaction parameters were also obtained. Theoretical calculations at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level were carried out to provide the information of structures and thermodynamic functions. The information reveals the thermodynamic essence of the interactions between sodium halide and saccharides in aqueous solutions. The experimental results and theoretical calculations show that the sign of enthalpic pair interaction parameter 2υh(ES) is determined by the direct interaction between saccharides and ions, whereas the difference in value of 2υh(ES) for different saccharides or electrolytes depends on the partial dehydration of saccharides or anions in aqueous solution. The difference in value of entropic pair interaction parameters depends partly on the different dominant interactions in the process of partial dehydration of saccharides or ions. An enthalpy-entropy compensation relationship was observed for the sodium bromide-aldopyranose-water systems. Remarkably, it can be conjectured that the hydration entropy of glucose is lower than for other monosaccharides. Perhaps it is one of the reasons why glucose plays an important role in living organisms rather than other monosaccharides.

- Abstract
Understanding of the specific salt effect on the aggregation behavior of ionic liquids (ILs) is relevant to multiple applications. In this work, the influence of a series of 15 salts on the aggregation behavior of [C(10)mim]Br in aqueous solutions has been investigated by conductivity, fluorescence, and dynamic light scattering. It was shown that NaCl, NaBr, NaI, CH(3)CO(2)Na, NaSCN, NaNO(3), NaBrO(3), NaClO(3), C(6)H(5)COONa, Na(2)CO(3), Na(2)SO(4), Na(2)C(4)H(4)O(6), and Na(3)CH(5)O(7) have salting-out effect, whereas FeBr(3) and AlBr(3) have salting-in effect on the aggregation of [C(10)mim]Br in aqueous solutions. The effect of anions of the added sodium salts on the critical aggregation concentration (CAC), degree of anionic binding (beta), and aggregation number (N(agg)) of the IL basically follows the Hofmeister series, and the CAC values decrease but the beta and N(agg) values increase with increasing concentration of the salts. Hydrophobicity of the anions is suggested to play important roles in the salt effect on the aggregation of [C(10)mim]Br in aqueous solutions. Furthermore, the IL aggregates were found to grow slowly as the increase of the salt concentrations under studied static conditions, and resulting in the increased aggregation number of the IL. These results are expected to be useful in the applications of ionic liquids.

- Abstract
Viscosity B-coefficients for sodium halides (NaX, X- = Cl-, Br-, and I-) in aqueous monosaccharides (d-glucose, d-galactose, d-xylose, and d-arabinose) were determined from density and viscosity (eta) measurements at 298.15 K. The contributions of solvent property (B1) and the electrolyte-solvent interaction (B2) to the B-coefficient were also obtained together with molar activation energies (Delta(mu)E0(not equal)) of the electrolytes for viscous flow of the aqueous saccharide-electrolyte solution. In addition, 1H spin-lattice relaxation times (T1) were measured for two glycosides in D2O with and without sodium halides. The results show the interactions between X- and the saccharides are in the following order: Cl- > Br- > I-. A linear relationship is observed between the relaxation rate (1/T1) and electrolyte concentration.

- Abstract
The formation of ionic liquids aggregates in aqueous solution is of great importance to the future applications of ionic liquids. In this work, aggregation behavior of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium salts [C8mim]X (X = Cl, Br, [NO3], [CH3COO], [CF3COO], [CF3SO3], and [ClO4]), 1-octyl-4-methylpyridinium bromide (4m-[C8pyr]Br), and 1-methyl-1-octylpyrrolidinium ([C8mpyrr]Br) has been investigated in aqueous solutions by conductivity, volume, fluorescence, dynamic light scattering, and transmission electron microscopy. The critical aggregation concentration (CAC), ionization degree of the aggregates alpha, the standard Gibbs energy of aggregation deltaG(m)degrees, the average aggregation number N, the apparent molar volumes at critical aggregation concentration V(phi,CAC), the apparent molar volumes in aggregation phase V(phi)mic, and the change of the apparent molar volumes upon aggregation deltaV(phi,m), have been derived from the experimental data for these ionic liquids. It is found that both nature of the anions and ring type of the cations significantly affect the aggregation in aqueous solution. The anionic effect basically follows the Hofmeister series, and the ability of anionic hydration is predominant for the aggregation behavior of the ionic liquids. Hydrophobicity and steric hindrance of the cations as well as binding strength of the cations with the anions are suggested to play important roles in the aggregation of [C8mim]Br, 4m-[C8pyr]Br, and [C8mpyrr]Br. The investigated ILs were found to form spherical aggregates. Structures of anions and cations have very weak effects on the morphology, but they do affect the aggregate sizes.

- Abstract
Aqueous solutions of five ionic liquids (ILs) of the 1-n-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide family, [C(n)mim]Br (n = 4, 6, 8, 10, 12), were investigated by NMR measurements at 298.2 K as a function of IL concentrations. Critical aggregation concentrations and aggregation numbers of these ILs were determined by 1H NMR except for [C4mim]Br in D2O. The effects of the alkyl chain length of the cations were examined on the aggregation behavior of the ILs. 1H NMR data of the solvent D2O were used to investigate the hydration of the ILs in D2O, and it was found that the ionic hydration and the cation-anion association or aggregation of the ILs offset each other. The microenvironment of different protons of cations of the ILs in the aggregates was probed by determining the spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T1). It is suggested that the imidazolium rings in the aggregates are exposed to water and that the molecular motion of the aggregates is more restricted than that of the monomers of the ILs. Furthermore, a stair-like microscopic aggregation structure is suggested for the [C(n)mim]Br/D2O (n = 6, 8, 10) systems from 2-D 1H-1H NOESY measurements.

- Abstract
Densities, conductivities, and polarity indexes of pyrene for aqueous solutions of a series of ionic liquids [C(n)mim]Br (n = 4, 6, 8, 10, 12) and [C4mim][BF4] have been determined at 298.15 K as a function of ionic liquid concentrations. It was shown that possible aggregation appeared for the ionic liquids in aqueous solutions except for [C4mim]Br. The critical aggregation concentration (CAC) of the ionic liquids, the ionization degree of aggregates (beta), the standard Gibbs energy of aggregation (Delta G(m)(o)), the limiting molar conductivity (Lambda(m)(o)), and the standard partial molar volume (V(m)(o)) for the ionic liquids were derived from the experimental data. The dependence of the CAC, Delta G(m)(o), Lambda(m)(o), and V(m)(o) on the length of the alkyl chain of the cations was examined. It was further suggested from volumetric data that a micelle was formed for [C8mim]Br, [C10mim]Br, and [C12mim]Br in aqueous solutions. Their apparent molar volumes at the critical micelle concentration (V Phi,CMC), apparent molar volumes in the micelle phase (V(Phi)(mic)), and the change of their apparent molar volume upon micellization (Delta V Phi,m) were calculated by application of the pseudophase model of micellization. In addition, the average aggregation number of [C(n)mim]Br (n = 8, 10, 12) has been determined by the steady-state fluorescence quenching technique, and predicted from a simple geometrical mode. It is found that the experimental values are in good agreement with the predicted ones.

- Abstract
The effect of nanosized Al2O3/ZnO fillers on the interactions in PEO-NaSCN polymer electrolytes has been studied by FT-IR, XRD, and DTA measurements. The experimental results are discussed according to the grain boundary effect, the principle of Lewis acid-base, and epitaxial effect. It is shown that the hard Lewis acid centers on the surface of Al2O3 exhibit strong interactions with ether oxygens in PEO, even with ether oxygens that coordinated to Na+. Therefore, the modes of the interaction of Al2O3 with PEO-NaSCN electrolytes are dependent on the salt content. Al2O3 cannot influence the ionic association in P(EO)8NaSCN electrolyte, but do reduce significantly the solvating ability of PEO toward NaSCN in P(EO)60NaSCN electrolyte. However, NaSCN in P(EO)20NaSCN-30%Al2O3 nanocomposite appears as a state that resembles the situation of NaSCN in PEO amorphous phase. In contrast with Al2O3, the epitaxial effect of ZnO is not found in the interested systems where only weaker interaction is observed between ZnO and ether oxygen, and the modes of interaction of ZnO with PEO-NaSCN electrolytes are hardly related to the salt content. In addition, the soft Lewis acid groups on ZnO surface exhibit stronger complexation with SCN- in PEO-NaSCN electrolytes, and both can form the complex anion ZnO...SCN-.
