Stable Green Electroluminescence from an Iridium Tris-Heteroleptic Ionic Complex

2012

An ionic tris-heteroleptic iridium complex gives green light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) with unprecedented performances for this part of the visible spectrum. The devices are very bright (>1000 cd m–2), efficient (∼3%), and stable (>55 h). The novel complex is prepared using a new and efficient synthetic procedure. We show that there is a mixed orbital formation originating from the two different orthometalating ligands resulting in photophysical properties that lie between those of its two bis-heteroleptic analogs. Therefore, tris-heteroleptic complexes provide new avenues for fine-tunning the emission properties and to bridge gaps between a series of bis-heteroleptic complexes.

Two mechanisms are feasible in the anionic polymerization of virtually anhydrous formaldehyde initiated by uncharged LEWIS-bases such as tertiary amines and phosphines: 1. Direct initiation with formation of macrozwitterions the conventional mechanism in which an impurity such as water or methylene glycol acts as a cocatalyst. The investigations were carried out mainly by end group analysis. With triethyl amine as initiator the cocatalysis mechanism is the only or, at least, the predominant mechanism (at 20°C in dimethyl formamide). Quaternary ammonium ions – if any – are present in concentrations much below the concentrations of anionic chain ends. The latter were determined by termination…

Acid Catalysis with Alkane/Water Microdroplets in Ionic Liquids

2021

Ionic liquids are composed of an organic cation and a highly delocalized perfluorinated anion, which remain tight to each other and neutral across the extended liquid framework. Here we show that n-alkanes in millimolar amounts enable a sufficient ion charge separation to release the innate acidity of the ionic liquid and catalyze the industrially relevant alkylation of phenol, after generating homogeneous, self-stabilized, and surfactant-free microdroplets (1–5 μm). This extremely mild and simple protocol circumvents any external additive or potential ionic liquid degradation and can be extended to water, which spontaneously generates microdroplets (ca. 3 μm) and catalyzes Brönsted rather …

Study of liquid–liquid equilibria at different temperatures of water + ethanol + 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide tern…

2016

Abstract The experimental liquid–liquid equilibria (LLE) data of the water + ethanol + 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([bmp][Tf2N]) system has been measured at different temperatures in this work. The LLE of the system has been measured at between 283 and 333 K. The UNIQUAC and NRTL models were used to correlate the LLE data and good results were obtained in both cases, however UNIQUAC gave a more accurate correlation. In order to apply the UNIQUAC model the volume and surface parameters for [bmp][Tf2N] (r, q) were determined. Finally, in order to obtain ethanol from the aqueous mixture, the solvent capability of the ionic liquid was checked and compared wit…

Separation of the azeotropic mixture 2-propanol + water employing different imidazolium ionic liquids as solvents

2020

Abstract The liquid-liquid equilibria of the ternary systems water (1) + 2-propanol (2) + [emim][Tf2N] (3) and water (1) + 2-propanol (2) + [hmim][Tf2N] (3) at 283.2, 303.2 and 323.2 K and atmospheric pressure were investigated, in order to achieve a better knowledge of the ternary mixture behaviour. The capability of [emim][Tf2N] and [hmim][Tf2N] as solvents in the separation of the azeotropic mixture water + 2-propanol was studied through the distribution coefficient and selectivity, and compared with the results obtained with other ionic liquids in the same azeotropic mixture studied before by our research group. The thermodynamic parameters of both ternary mixtures were calculated by th…

Abstract The liquid-liquid equilibria of the ternary systems water (1) + 1-propanol (2) + 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([bmim][Tf2N]) (3) and water (1) + 1-propanol (2) + trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)phosphinate ([TDTHP][Phosph]) (3) at 283.2, 303.2 and 323.2 K and atmospheric pressure were determined to study their behaviour, determine their thermodynamic parameters and know the capability as solvents of [bmim][Tf2N] and [TDTHP][Phosph] in the separation of the azeotropic mixture water + 1-propanol. The non-random two-liquid (NRTL) and universal quasichemical (UNIQUAC) models were used in the calculation of the thermodynamic par…

Abstract After the good behavior of different 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ionic liquids (ILs) used as solvents in the separation of 1-propanol and 2-propanol from water, liquid-liquid equilibria data was measured from a system formed by a ternary mixture of water, 1-propanol or 2-propanol and 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([dmim][Tf2N]) at 283.2, 303.2 and 323.2 K and atmospheric pressure. The non-random two-liquid (NRTL) and universal quasichemical (UNIQUAC) models were employed to obtain the thermodynamic parameters of both ternary mixtures, with good results in all cases. Finally, the capability of [dmim][Tf2N] to separate…

Liquid–Liquid Equilibria of the Water + 1-Propanol + 1-Butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium Bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide Ternary System: Study of the Abi…

An important problem in the chemical industry is the separation of azeotropes. Their separation by simple distillation is basically impossible, and extractive distillation consumes much more energy than liquid–liquid extraction, so this alternative could be interesting. Recently, researchers have started to explore these option using ionic liquids as the solvent. The remarkable properties of ionic liquids have made them sustainable alternatives to conventional solvents. This work is a continuation of a study developed by our research group on the use of ionic liquids as extractant solvents of alcohol + water mixtures which form azeotropes, using in this case 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bi…

Liquid–Liquid Equilibria of Water + Ethanol + 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium Bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide Ternary System: Measurements and Correla…

2015

In this work authors present the experimental liquid–liquid equilibria (LLE) data of water + ethanol + 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ([bmim][Tf2N]) system at different temperatures. The LLE of the system was obtained in the temperature range from 283.2 to 323.2 K. The nonrandom two liquid (NRTL) and universal quasichemical (UNIQUAC) models were used to correlate ternary systems. The equilibrium compositions were successfully correlated by the interaction parameters from both models, however UNIQUAC gave a more accurate correlation. Finally, a study about the solvent capability of ionic liquid was made in order to evaluate the possibility of separating the mi…
