Abstract

Chemistry Chemistry, Physical Physical Sciences Physics Physics, Atomic, Molecular & Chemical Science & Technology
Phase transitions of the ionic liquids n-butyl-trimethylammonium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide, [N-1114][NTf2], and methyl-tributylammonium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide, [N-1114][NTf2], were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements, and Raman spectroscopy. XRD and Raman spectra were obtained as a function of temperature at atmospheric pressure, and also under high pressure at room temperature using a diamond anvil cell (DAC). [N-1114][NTf2] experiences glass transition at low temperature, whereas [N-1114][NTf2] crystallizes or not depending on the cooling rate. Both the ionic liquids exhibit glass transition under high pressure. XRD and low-frequency Raman spectra provide a consistent physical picture of structural ordering-disordering accompanying the thermal events of crystallization, glass transition, cold crystallization, pre-melting, and melting. Raman spectra in the high-frequency range of some specific cation and anion normal modes reveal conformational changes of the molecular structures along phase transitions.
