The volatility and cohesive energy of fluorinated ionic liquids, FILs, was evaluated and used to explored and understand the effect of fluorination of the ILs cations and anions on the cohesive interaction and structuration. For this, the vapour pressures at different temperatures using a Knudsen effusion apparatus coupled with a quartz crystal microbalance were measured for three fluorinated imidazolium-based ionic liquids. The enthalpies and entropies of vaporization were derived from the temperature dependence of the vapour pressures. The degree of fluorination of the ions leads to an increase of the IL volatility following the order: [C8mim][NTf2] < [C8mim][BETI] < [C8H4F13mim][NTf2] < [C8H4F13mim][BETI]. The Gibbs energy of vaporization follows the opposite trend proving that the fluorination effect on the volatility of the studied ionic liquids is ruled by the increase of the entropy of vaporization that overlaps the increase of the cohesive energy of the liquids. The binding energies of gas-phase FILs ions were measured using electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS-MS). The energy required for extracting the fluorinated cation from the [(cation)2(anion)]+ aggregates in these fluorinated ionic liquids is significantly higher than in their non-fluorinated counterparts. The measured binding energies trends are in agreement with those found for the enthalpies of vaporization.

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT Introduction Ionic liquids (ILs) are nanostructured liquids constituted only by ions, with melting points close to or below room temperature. Their negligible vapour pressure at room temperature, high chemical and thermal stability, a wide range of solubility and miscibility with polar and non-polar compounds and broad electrochemical windows, make them suitable for many applications. Ionic liquids can also be tuned for particular applications by means of their functionalization.1 Successful modifications of existing ionic liquids have improved their uses

SC RI PT

as supports for synthesis, as catalysts for different chemical reactions,2 as more performant gas absorbents3,4 in analytical chemistry5–7 and in other industrial applications.8 The literature on the effect of the inclusion of fluorinated moieties on the properties of different families of ionic liquids has been recently reviewed,9 that highlighted the possibility of using these ionic liquids as an alternative to the perfluorinated compounds (PFC) currently used in industrial extraction processes and in the gas separation processes. The combination of the

NU

ILs properties with the presence of fluorinated moieties, enhances their ability as physical absorbents for CO2 and H2S10–13 leading to their consideration as alternative gas absorbents,

MA

with less environmental impact than conventional organic absorbents. Fluorinated ionic liquids, FILs, can exist in a large variety of molecular structures, all leading to nanostructured fluids characterised by polar and non-polar domains permeated by a

ED

three-dimensional network of ionic channels formed by anions and cations.14 Different authors have concluded, following both experimental

15

and computational studies16,17 that

fluorous domains can be formed when perfluorinated and hydrogenated alkyl chains co-exist

PT

in the fluorinated ionic liquid. This segregation was already observed for organic solvents that tend to mix poorly with fluorous solvents due to the lack of affinity between

perfluorinated chains and their hydrogenated counterparts.18 The physical-chemical characterization of partially fluorinated ionic liquids is crucial to a better understanding of

Experimental section

ED

Synthesis and characterization of the ionic liquids The synthesis and purification of the samples of fluorinated ionic liquids used herein were

PT

previously described.11 The purity of each IL was checked again before the vapour pressure measurements by NMR spectroscopy (1H and

13

C) recorded on a Bruker Avance 300

CE

[operating at 300.13 MHz (1H), 75.47 MHz (13C)] spectrometer using TMS as internal reference and with CDCl3 as a solvent. For detailed NMR analysis, see Supporting Information. The raw samples of the ionic liquids present a yellowish colour due to some

AC

traces of impurities not detected by NMR. The ILs samples were previously distilled under high vacuum at the same temperature of the effusion measurements using a micro distillation apparatus that have been developed in our laboratory. The distillation vanished the yellowish colour of the samples. The NMR analysis of the fresh and distilled samples show no evidence of decomposition. Details about this procedure are described in supporting information as well the NMR results of the distilled ILs. The samples were degassed in situ under high vacuum (<0.001Pa) and moderated temperature (350 K) prior the vapour pressure measurements.

Vapour pressure measurements

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT Vapour pressures measurements as a function of the temperature of the ionic liquids were measured using a Knudsen effusion methodology coupled with a quartz crystal microbalance, KEQCM. The methodology use in the KEQCM measurements is already described in the literature. 19,37

Molecular simulation The [C8C1im]+ and [C8H4F13mim]+ cations and the [NTf2]− and [BETI]− anions were represented by the CL&P all-atom nonpolarisable force field.10,20 Molecular dynamic

SC RI PT

simulations were performed using the LAMMPS21 software package with the Verlet integrator.22 Short-range forces (Lennard-Jones parameters) between unlike atoms were cut-off at 12 Å of interatomic separation and long-range electrostatic forces calculated with the particle-particle particle-mesh (PPPM) 23 method.

Configurations of cubic boxes of 500 ion pairs of the pure ionic liquids were equilibrated during 2 ns trajectories (starting from random configurations generated by the Packmol

NU

utility24) at 373 K and 1 bar, maintained by the Nosé-Hoover thermostat and barostat.25 Because the fixed-charge force fields used for the ionic liquids lead to slow dynamics when

MA

compared to experiments, scaled ionic charges (± 0.8e) were used.26,27 The equilibrated systems were used in production runs of 10 ns. Structural analyses of the four pure ionic liquids were made through the calculation of structure factor functions (S(q)) in cubic

ED

simulation boxes having an average side size of 72 Å.

Electrospray ionisation tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS-MS)

PT

Electrospray ionization tandem mass spectra (ESI-MS-MS) were acquired with a Micromass Quattro LC triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. The procedure and methodology

CE

described in the literature.28 Details about the operating conditions of the mass spectrometer are presented in the supporting information. ESI-MS-MS spectra were acquired by selecting

AC

the precursor ion with the first quadrupole, performing collisions with argon at variable energies (ELab) in the second quadrupole and analysing the fragment ions thus produced with the third quadrupole.

Effect of fluorination of the cation and anion in ILs volatility The vapour pressures of the ILs varies between 0.02 and 0.75 Pa in the temperature range covered. The results of Gibbs energy presented in figure 2 show that the volatility of ILs are significantly affected by the degree of fluorination of the ions following the order: [C8mim][NTf2] < [C8mim][BETI] < [C8H4F13mim][NTf2] < [C8H4F13mim][BETI.

The associative effect of the fluorinated moieties could be related with the higher F···F interaction ability of the anion BETI with the alkyl fluorinated chain of

Concerning the entropic contribution, the significant increase in the entropy of vaporization with the degree of fluorination of the ionic liquid points towards several contributions. There is an increase in the entropy of gas phase, Sgas, from the fluorine molar mass contribution to translational, Strans, and rotational, Srot, entropies. The weight of these contributions are, however, small since these effects are also presented in liquid phase so there is an

phase. The decrease of the absolute entropy of the liquid is the major contribution to the increase of the entropy of vaporization. Thus, in the liquid phase, it is expected that the conformational entropy of the fluorinated chain to be significantly lower than in the alkanes due to their higher energy barriers of the internal rotation and translational dynamics. In fact, the same trend in the entropy of vaporization was observed for long fluoroalkanes and fluoroalcohols,33 which present very analogous carbon backbone conformation to these fluorinated and hydrogenated ionic liquids, as shown in the optimized structures presented in Figure 6. The higher enthalpies of vaporization suggests stronger interactions for the FILs which may contribute to more organization in bulk and, hence, to a decrease in entropy in the liquid phase. Moreover, the predictable decrease of entropy, Sliq, for the FILs can be

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT related with their higher viscosity relative to their hydrogenated analogous,13,34–36 which is related with their higher barrier to flow. The summation of these contributions, both in gas and liquid, are in conform with a significant increase in the entropy of vaporization of fluorinated ionic liquids. Hence, the fluorination effect on the volatility of ionic liquids is ruled by the increase of the entropy of vaporization,

of the enthalpy of vaporization. Nevertheless, the effect of the fluorination in the ionic liquids

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT The magnitude of the separation energy, Ecm,1/2, is a good approximation to the cation or anion interaction energy of the ionic pair. The analysis of the data reveals a significant differentiation between the FILs and the analogous imidazolium-based ILs. The energy required for extracting the fluorinated cation from the [(cation)2(anion)]+ aggregates in FILs is significantly higher than the respective analogous [C8C1im][NTf2] ionic liquid. Moreover, the dissociation energy seems to be less dependent on the anion which is consistent with the enthalpies of vaporization differentiation (0.9 kJ·mol-1) from NTF2 to BETI in the case of non

SC RI PT

fluorinated cations. The fluorination of the alkyl side chain in the cation leads to a higher cohesive energy between the ion pairs.

Quantum chemical calculation of the ionic liquids pairs were performed to derived the cationanion interaction energies, Δint??m. The Δint??m results of [C8H4F13mim][NTf2], [C8mim][NTf2], [C8H4F13mim][BETI] and [C8mim][BETI] are: −375 kJ·mol-1, −348 kJ·mol-1, −367 kJ·mol-1 and −347 kJ·mol-1 respectively. The observed differentiation of the interaction energies between

the fluorinated and the nonfluorinated cation (20-30 k ∙ ol-1) is consistent with the trend observed in experimental energies of separation, Ecm,1/2, and with the higher enthalpy of

Conclusions The volatility and cohesive energy of fluorinated ionic liquids, FILs, was evaluated and used to explored and understand the effect of fluorination of the ILs cations and anions on the cohesive interaction and structuration. The enthalpies and entropies of vaporization increase

with the degree of fluorination of the ions to follow the order: [C8mim][NTf2] < [C8mim][BETI] < [C8H4F13mim][NTf2] < [C8H4F13mim][BETI]. The mass spectrometry results follow the same trend of enthalpies of vaporization. The energy required for extracting the fluorinated cation from the [(cation)2(anion)]+ aggregates in these fluorinated ionic liquids is significantly higher than in [CnC1im][NTf2] ionic liquid. It was found that the fluorination of the ionic liquids increases their volatility and this is ruled by the increase of the entropy of vaporization which
