Abstract:
The molecular structure, vibrational frequencies of the fundamental modes and electronic transitions of the ionic liquid pyridinium nitrate ([H-Pyr]+[NO3]-) have been determined by means of density functional theory (DFT) at B3LYP/6-311++G (2d,2p) level. The chemical bonds nature and the intermolecular interactions in the title compound were investigated using the Quantum theory of atoms in molecules and Hirshfeld surface analysis. Natural bond orbital analysis has been performed in order to elucidate the hybridization and delocalization of electron density within the ion pair [H-Pyr]+[NO3]-. A detailed vibrational spectral analysis was carried out and the assignments of the observed bands have been proposed on the basis of potential energy distribution. A good correlation between experimental and theoretical IR frequencies was observed. To study the charge transfers occurred in the title molecule, UV-vis analysis was conducted.

When the strengths of the intermolecular forces of attraction between solute and solvent species in a solution are no different than those present in the separated components, the solution is formed with no accompanying energy change. Such a solution is called an ideal solution. A mixture of ideal gases (or gases such as helium and argon,...
