Neutralization of an organic super-strong base, 1,8-diazabicyclo-[5,4,0]-undec-7-ene (DBU), with different Brønsted acids affords a novel series of protic ionic liquids (PILs) with wide variations in the ΔpKa of the constituent amine and acids. The physicochemical properties of these PILs, such as thermal properties, density, conductivity, viscosity, self-diffusion coefficient, vibrational stretching frequency, and 1H-chemical shifts of the N–H bond, have been studied in detail. The generated PILs have melting temperatures below 100 °C, and six are liquids at ambient temperatures. Thermogravimetric analyses (TGA) conducted under isothermal and programmed heating conditions have shown that PILs with ΔpKa ≥ 15 exhibit good thermal stability similar to aprotic ionic liquids. For instance, PILs with ΔpKa > 20 show remarkably high short-term thermal stability up to ca. 450 °C under a nitrogen atmosphere. The viscosity, ionic conductivity, and molar conductivity of the PILs fit well with the Vogel–Fulcher–Tamman equation for their dependencies on temperature. The relative cationic and anionic self-diffusion coefficients of the PILs estimated by the pulsed-field gradient spin-echo (PGSE) NMR method appear to be dependent on the structure and strength of the Brønsted acids. Evaluation of the ionicity based on both the Walden plot and PGSE-NMR revealed that it increases until ΔpKa becomes 15 for the PILs.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
