Stability of the zwitterionic liquid butyl-methyl-imidazol-2-ylidene borane

Modification of the C2 position of the standard 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium cation by a borohydride group leads to a zwitterionic liquid (ZIL). The resulting imidazol-2-ylidene borane ZIL is liquid at room temperature. Dynamic viscosity as well as thermal and electrochemical stability are investigated. Thermal decomposition follows a similar pathway as in comparable imidazolium ionic liquids. The surprisingly low viscosity and good reductive stability make it a promising candidate for electrochemical applications.

Lithium-coordinating ionic conductor for solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells

A new solid-state ionic conductor is synthesized by linking an ether group to the nitrogen-atom of 1,2-dimethylimidazole with an iodide counter anion, and the single crystal structure is determined using X-ray crystallographic analysis. Replacement of the

Imidazolium Cations with Exceptional Alkaline Stability: A Systematic Study of Structure-Stability Relationships

Highly base-stable cationic moieties are a critical component of anion exchange membranes (AEMs) in alkaline fuel cells (AFCs); however, the commonly employed organic cations have limited alkaline stability. To address this problem, we synthesized and characterized the stability of a series of imidazolium cations in 1, 2, or 5 M KOH/CD3OH at 80 °C, systematically evaluating the impact of substitution on chemical stability. The substituent identity at each position of the imidazolium ring has a dramatic effect on the overall cation stability. We report imidazolium cations that have the highest alkaline stabilities reported to date, >99% cation remaining after 30 days in 5 M KOH/CD3OH at 80 °C.
