摘要: Acetate-based imidazolium ionic liquids (ILs) are of great importance and widely applied in biomass processing and engineering but under stability issue due to the structure self-rearrangement induced by C2-H deprotonation, by which the IL based biomass processing will be challenging. Herein, we demonstrated that the thermal stability of normal acetate-based imidazolim[C8C1Im] [OAc] could be significantly improved by changing its cation and anion environment with the presence of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide IL ([C4C1Im] [NTf2]). When the molar fraction of[C8C1Im] [OAc] was 0.3, the thermal stability of[C8C1Im] [OAc] could be significantly improved (ΔT5%dec=+43℃). Detailed information obtained from thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) revealed that the addition of[C4C1Im] [NTf2] played a significant role in enhancing the thermal stability of[C8C1Im] [OAc]. It was proposed that the formation of an anion-π+ structure network between[C8C1Im] [OAc] and[C4C1Im] [NTf2] via strong hydrogen bond interactions greatly affects the environment of hydrogen atom in the imidazolium ring of each IL.
