    Molecular Liquids versus Ionic Liquids: The Interplay between Inter-Molecular and Intra-Molecular Hydrogen Bonding as Seen by Vaporisation Thermodynamics
    (Basel : MDPI, 2023) Verevkin, Sergey P.; Zaitsau, Dzmitry H.; Ludwig, Ralf
    In this study, we determined the enthalpies of vaporisation for a suitable set of molecular and ionic liquids using modern techniques for vapour pressure measurements, such as the quartz crystal microbalance, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and gas chromatographic methods. This enabled us to measure reasonable vapour pressures, avoiding the problem of the decomposition of the ionic liquids at high temperatures. The enthalpies of vaporisation could be further analysed by applying the well-known “group contribution” methods for molecular liquids and the “centerpiece” method for ionic liquids. This combined approach allowed for the dissection of the enthalpies of vaporisation into different types of molecular interaction, including hydrogen bonding and the dispersion interaction in the liquid phase, without knowing the existing species in both the liquid and gas phases.

    1-Butyl-3-methyl­imidazolium tri­bromido­(tri­phenyl­phosphane-κP)nickelate(II) butan-1-ol hemisolvate
    (Chester : IUCr, 2021) Peppel, T.; Köckerling, M.
    The solvated title salt, (C8H15N2)[NiBr3(P(C6H5)3)]·0.5C4H10O, was obtained in the form of single crystals directly from the reaction mixture. The mol­ecular structure consists of separated 1-butyl-3-methyl­imidazolium cations, tri­bromido­(tri­phenyl­phosphane)nickelate(II) anions and half a solvent mol­ecule of 1-butanol, all connected via multiple hydrogen contacts to form a three-dimensional network. The co-crystallized 1-butanol mol­ecule is disordered and adopts two orientations. The central C—C bonds of both orientations are located on an inversion centre (Wyckoff site 2b of space group P21/n). Thereby, each orientation has again two orientations with the OH group being located either on one or the other side of the C4 alkyl chain. The dried solvent-free compound exhibits a relatively low melting point (m.p. = 412 K).
