Liquid coordination complexes (LCCs) are a new class of liquid Lewis acids, prepared by combining an excess of a metal halide (e.g. GaCl3) with a basic donor molecule (e.g. amides, amines or phosphines). LCCs were used to catalyse oligomerisation of 1-decene to polyalphaolefins (PAOs). Molecular weight distribution and physical properties of the produced oils were compliant with those required for low viscosity synthetic (Group IV) lubricant base oils. Kinematic viscosities at 100 °C of ca. 4 or 6 cSt were obtained, along with viscosity indexes above 120 and pour points below-57 °C. In industry, to achieve similar properties, BF3 gas is used as a catalyst. LCCs are proposed as a safer and economically attractive alternative to BF3 gas for the production of polyalphaolefins.

The densities and viscosities of binary mixtures of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium heptachlorodialuminate and tetrachloroaluminate ionic liquids with different molar compositions were measured by high-precision vibrating tube densimeter and automated microviscometer from 293.15 to 353.15 K. On this basis, the excess molar volumes and excess viscosities of binary mixtures were also calculated for the first time. All the experimental data were well fitted by the empirical equations. According to the results of computational calculations, enhanced molecular symmetry and molar concentration of heptachlorodialuminate anion usually lead to higher density. The hydrogen bonding among ions is confirmed as one of the most important structural parameters in determining the viscosity of ionic liquids. It shows that Lewis acidic 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloroaluminate can be treated as the classic binary mixtures of heptachlorodialuminate and tetrachloroaluminate ionic liquids. Looser packing and/or weaker interionic interaction probably occurs after the formation of binary mixtures. The results and conclusions of this work will help to promote future research and application of chloroaluminate ionic liquids.
Synthesis of adamantane by ionic liquid-promoted isomerization of tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]decane and H2SO4-mediated hydroisomerization of pentacyclo[4.4.0.02,4.03,7.08,10]decane

Adamantane was synthesized by skeletal isomerization of endo- and exo-tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]-decanes in the presence of ionic liquid [Et3NH]+[Al2Cl7]?—CuSO4. A new method to synthesize adamantane in 75% yield by H2SO4-mediated hydroisomerization of its new precursor, pentacyclo[4.4.0.02,4.03,7.08,10]decane, was developed.

The direct synthesis of methyl acrylate (MA) from methyl acetate and trioxane at 350-380 °C is regarded as a supplementary route for the industrial propylene oxidation process; however, it suffers from rapid catalyst deactivation. Herein, a novel ionic liquid catalyzed mild liquid-phase system was developed for the direct synthesis of MA from methyl acetate and trioxane, where N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide (BSA) was used as a probase for α-deprotonation and enol silyl etherification of methyl acetate. The trioxane decomposition to formaldehyde and methyl acetate enolization to 1-methoxy-1-trimethylsilyloxyethene proceeded with the catalysis of [Cation]Cl/MClx (M = Cu+, Fe3+, Zn2+ and Al3+) and [Cation]F, respectively. The cations and anions were observed to have significant effects on the yield and selectivity of MA, owing to the steric hindrance, acid site category and strength confirmed by pyridine probing FT-IR characterization. As a result, up to 60.2% yield with 94.6% selectivity of MA could be achieved when [N3,3,3,3]F and [N3,3,3,3]Cl/AlCl3 with 67 mol% AlCl3 were used in the presence of BSA at 25 °C. Kinetic studies indicated that the trioxane decomposition with the activation barrier of 41.2 ± 0.3 kJ mol-1 was the rate-determining step.
