Abstract

Abstract : NMR, thermoelectrochemical and Kamlet–Taft solvochromatic analyses provide insight into the coordination of lithium in both dilute and concentrated lithium–glyme solutions. Abstract : Solvate ionic liquids are a relatively new class of liquids produced by combining a coordinating solvent with a salt. They have a variety of uses and their suitability for such depends upon the ratio of salt to coordinating solvent. This work investigates the Kamlet–Taft solvent parameters of, NMR chemical shifts of nuclei in, and thermoelectrochemistry of a selected set of solvate ionic liquids produced from glymes (methyl terminated oligomers of ethylene glycol) and lithium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide at two different compositions. The aim is to improve the understanding of the interactions occurring in these ionic liquids to help select suitable solvate ionic liquids for future applications.
