Abstract:
Two novel 1-ethyl-4-alkyl-1,2,4-triazolium acetylglycinate ionic liquids, [Taz(2,5)][Acgly] and [Taz(2,6)][Acgly], were synthesized and characterized. The density, surface tension and refractive index were systematically measured at 288.15-323.15 K by the standard addition method to eliminate the interference of trace water. The effects of temperature and cationic alkyl chain length on these properties were investigated, and the contributions of methylene groups to molecular volume, standard entropy and lattice energy were quantified. A high-precision surface tension prediction model was established by integrating molar surface Gibbs free energy into the Lorentz-Lorenz equation. The polarity scale and polarity coefficient were calculated to evaluate the polarity of the ionic liquids, and the gas-phase ion-pair association enthalpy was derived via thermodynamic cycles to reveal cation-anion interaction modes. This work enriches the fundamental property database of 1,2,4-triazolium-based ILs and provides reliable data support for the structural design and performance optimization of novel ionic liquids.

Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...

Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...

02:37Structure and Physical Properties of Alkynes
In nature, compounds containing both carbon and hydrogen are known as "hydrocarbons". Aliphatic hydrocarbons are compounds whose molecules contain saturated single bonds (i.e., alkanes) or unsaturated double or triple bonds. Alkenes contain carbon–carbon double bonds and have a structural formula CnH2n. Unsaturated hydrocarbons containing carbon–carbon triple bonds are called "alkynes" and are structurally represented by the formula CnH2n-2.
The simplest alkyne is ethyne, or...
